Immediate Postoperative Intraocular Pressure Changes After Anterior Chamber Air Fill in Descemet Membrane Endothelial Keratoplasty

Abstract

Adequate inferior iridectomy greatly alleviates the risk and severity of acute IOP rises after nearly full anterior chamber air tamponade in DMEK. Standard IOP adjustment at the end of DMEK surgery with postoperative IOP monitoring especially in the first 2 postoperative hours is advisable when there is no postoperative default air release.
