Why DMEK?
Descemet’s Membrane Endothelial Keratoplasty (“DMEK”) is the latest iteration of endothelial keratoplasty. It leaves the patient’s cornea closer to its original condition than any other transplant technique.
Benefits of DMEK:
- 2.8 mm or smaller corneal incision
- No increase in corneal thickness
- No refractive shift from donor graft
- Ability to pre-operatively plan astigmatism management to reduce or eliminate pre-operative cylinder
- No changes or guesses for “fudge factors” with IOL calculations
Like other forms of endothelial keratoplasty, DMEK involves a whole new learning curve. It has some similarities to DSEK, but also a number of dramatic differences in donor preparation, manipulation in the eye, and post operative care.
You can now attend our two-day, comprehensive DMEK Advanced Cornea Course for $3,000.00. DMEK involves a whole new learning curve with dramatic differences in donor preparation, manipulation of the eye and post operative care.
