A Cause of Reticular Interface Haze and its Management After Descemet Stripping Endothelial Keratoplasty

Abstract

Retained viscoelastic at the graft-host interface during DSEK can cause a reticular interface haze that can compromise visual clarity. The haze can be eliminated by irrigating and aspirating the graft-host interface with improvement in vision. Careful irrigation and aspiration of viscoelastic from the posterior corneal surface of the recipient at the time of endothelial keratoplasty can prevent this form of interface haze.
