Exploring the precision of femtosecond laser-assisted descemetorhexis in Descemet membrane endothelial keratoplasty [PDF]
Objective Descemet membrane endothelial keratoplasty (DMEK) remains a challenging technique. We compare the precision of femtosecond laser-assisted DMEK to manual DMEK. Methods and Analysis A manual descemetorhexis (DR) of 8 mm diameter was compared with

Assessment of endothelial cell density and corneal thickness in corneal grafts an average of 5 years after penetrating keratoplasty [PDF]
BACKGROUND Corneal transparency is a useful indicator for corneal function. Our aim was to investigate central corneal endothelial cells and corneal thickness in transplanted corneas at an average of 5.4 years after penetrating keratoplasty ...
