Purpose:
The goal of this study was to determine changes in best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), refractive error, and central corneal thickness (CCT) during the first decade after Descemet stripping automated endothelial keratoplasty (DSAEK).
Methods:
Outcomes of all consecutive eyes undergoing DSAEK for Fuchs endothelial corneal dystrophy (FECD) were reviewed; eyes with untreatable comorbidities before DSAEK were excluded. DSAEK was performed through a temporal incision and all eyes were pseudophakic postoperatively. Changes in BCVA, manifest spherical equivalent, manifest cylinder (vector analysis), and CCT were assessed by using generalized estimating equation models.
Results:
BCVA improved between 6 months (0.18 ± 0.12 logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution (logMAR); Snellen equivalent, 20/30) and 5 years (0.10 ± 0.10 logMAR; 20/25; n = 74, P
Purpose:
The objective of this report is to describe a modification of a previously reported technique with an aim of improving the corneal topography and visual outcomes in progressive keratoconus along with stabilization of ectasia.
