Refractive Change After Descemet Stripping Automated Endothelial Keratoplasty Surgery and Its Correlation With Graft Thickness and Diameter

Abstract

Our study of DSAEK grafts demonstrated a hyperopic refractive shift after DSAEK surgery. This observation should be taken into consideration when deciding on the appropriate intraocular lens power in DSAEK triple surgery and may also aid in anticipating refractive outcomes after pseudophakic DSAEK surgery. Further studies to follow these refractive changes over a longer follow-up period and to investigate the mechanism of this refractive change after DSAEK surgery are warranted.
