Treatment of Interface Fluid Syndrome after Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis with Descemet Membrane Endothelial Keratoplasty in Three Patients with Corneal Endothelial Dysfunction

Descemet Membrane Endothelial Keratoplasty (DMEK) has become a first-line treatment in corneal endothelial diseases owing to its exceptional clinical outcomes and low complication rates. Thanks to its refractive predictability and the ability to reshape the superficial cornea, DMEK is now also consi...

Sumario:Descemet Membrane Endothelial Keratoplasty (DMEK) has become a first-line treatment in corneal endothelial diseases owing to its exceptional clinical outcomes and low complication rates. Thanks to its refractive predictability and the ability to reshape the superficial cornea, DMEK is now also considered for managing cases with endothelial decompensation following previous refractive procedures. This article reviews the clinical outcomes of DMEK in three patients with Interface Fluid Syndrome (IFS), a complication of laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) in which endothelial failure can play a major role.
