Transient peripheral edema following displaced corneal graft after descemet stripping automated endothelial keratoplasty (DSAEK): case presentation [PDF]
BMC Ophthalmology, 2011 Background Descemet's Stripping with Automated Endothelial Keratoplasty (DSAEK) is constantly gaining popularity in the management of endothelial dysfunctions such as bullous keratopathy or Fuchs' dystrophy.

Generation of a Novel Col8a2<sup>P2A-CreERT2</sup> Mouse Line Enables Targeted Genetic Manipulation of Corneal Endothelial Cells and Modeling of Endothelial Decompensation. [PDF]
GenesisABSTRACT The corneal endothelium is a monolayer of specialized cells that maintains stromal deturgescence and transparency, functions essential for vision. Despite its clinical importance, the developmental origins and homeostatic programs of the endothelium remain poorly understood, in part due to the lack of a lineage‐specific genetic driver.

Mini descemet membrane stripping (m-DMES) in patients with Fuchs' endothelial dystrophy: A new method. [PDF]
Saudi J Ophthalmol, 2017 We present two cases with focal corneal edema due to Fuchs' endothelial dystrophy that were successfully treated with mini Descemet membrane stripping (m-DMES) (diameter of 3-4 mm; at the area of preexisting focal corneal edema) without endothelial ...

Fuchs Endothelial Corneal Dystrophy [PDF]
The Ocular Surface, 2010 Fuchs endothelial corneal dystrophy (FECD) is characterized by progressive loss of corneal endothelial cells, thickening of Descement's membrane and deposition of extracellular matrix in the form of guttae. When the number of endothelial cells becomes critically low, the cornea swells and causes loss of vision. The clinical course of FECD usually spans
