Corneal endothelial damage can occur as a result of failed cataract/glaucoma/ retinal surgery or in patients with inherited disorders of the endothelium such as Fuch’s endothelial corneal dystrophy. Such patients need not have to undergo a full thickness corneal transplant and instead can get only the diseased endothelial layer replaced via DMEK. The procedure while technically complex offers quick and safe visual recovery. The procedure is performed in a sutureless manner and the transplanted cornea (which is only 14 microns thick) is injected and stuck in place using a large air bubble placed within the eye. . Our surgeons at Darshan Eye Care expertly perform this procedure on a routine basis. Get in touch to know more about the same!!
