Diagnosis And Management Of Retained Host’s Descemet’s Membrane After Penetrating Keratoplasty

Delhi Journal of Ophthalmology, 2015
Retained descemet's membrane is a rare complication of penetrating keratoplasty. It can lead to graft failure by compromising the endothelial tissue of the cornea.

Effect of fibrin glue on the biomechanical properties of human Descemet's membrane. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
BACKGROUND: Corneal transplantation has rapidly evolved from full-thickness penetrating keratoplasty (PK) to selective tissue corneal transplantation, where only the diseased portions of the patient's corneal tissue are replaced with healthy donor tissue.

Additional file 1: of Descemetâ s membrane endothelial keratoplasty for pseudoexfoliation syndrome: a case series

, 2019
Figure S1. Before Descemetâ s membrane endothelial keratoplasty (DMEK) (A) and after DMEK (B) in the PEX group. Corneal transparency remarkably improves after phacoemulsification and DMEK. Despite impressive improvement of the corneal edema, the PEX materials are clearly detectable on the iris before and after DMEK (Arrows). (PDF 150 kb)

Four in one: Four recepients with a single donor tissue - A novel concept for eye transplantation surgery post-COVID-19

Indian Journal of Ophthalmology, 2020
A donor corneo-scleral button was dissected into four parts using a simple manual technique. The anterior corneal lamellae was stripped from the Descemet's Membrane (DM) and Deep Anterior Lamellar Keratoplasty (DALK) was performed in a patient with ...

Use of biomaterials in corneal endothelial repair

Therapeutic Advances in Ophthalmology, 2021
Human corneal endothelium (HCE) is a single layer of hexagonal cells that lines the posterior surface of the cornea. It forms the barrier that separates the aqueous humor from the rest of the corneal layers (stroma and epithelium layer). This layer plays

Corneal transplantation: Restoring sight to the blind

Acta Ophthalmologica, EarlyView.
Abstract Corneal blindness is one of the leading causes of vision loss worldwide. Transplantation of the cornea can restore vision and make blind patients see again. Corneal transplant surgery has undergone major evolution in recent decades with the advent of minimally invasive lamellar surgical approaches such as DMEK and DALK.
