Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Since 2006, the technique by removing the Descemet membrane from the recipient cornea was renamed Descemet stripping automated endothelial keratoplasty (DSAEK). In recent years, DSAEK techniques have evolved, favoring increasingly thinner and finer grafts, known as ultrathin DSAEK (UT DSAEK), with the aim of obtaining better visual results.

Endothelial keratoplasty is now the most common surgical procedure used to treat endothelial dysfunction. The current study focused on assessing both objective and subjective visual quality outcomes following DSAEK.
