What is Comparison of DMEK and DSAEK in Eyes With Endothelial Decompensation After Previous Penetrating Keratoplasty about?
## Purpose: Posterior lamellar keratoplasty is increasingly applied in patients with endothelial decompensation after penetrating keratoplasty (pk). the aim of this study was to compare the results of descemet membrane endothelial keratoplasty (dmek) and descemet stripping automated endothelial keratoplasty (dsaek) after pk. ## Methods: In this retrospective study, clinical data of 30 patients who received dmek (n = 19) or dsaek (n = 11) for endothelial decompensation after pk were evaluated. all lamellar keratoplasties were performed at the department of ophthalmology at university hospital mainz, germany. primary end point included best-corrected visual acuity, and secondary end points included endothelial cell density, rebubbling, and rejection rates, all at 6 and 12 months. ## Results: After 6 months and 12 months, 89% of dmek and 73% of dsaek grafts and 63% of dmek and 64% of dsaek grafts provided sufficient corneal deturgescence, respectively, represented by improvement in best-corrected visual acuity. dmek group median preoperative logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution visual acuity of 1 increased to 0.5 after 6 and 12 months. dsaek group median logarithm of the minim
