Case Report of Quarter–Descemet Membrane Endothelial Keratoplasty for Fuchs Endothelial Dystrophy

Abstract

Quarter-DMEK may give fast visual rehabilitation within the first month similar to visual outcomes after circular DMEK or semicircular DMEK (hemi-DMEK). If long-term endothelial cell density would prove acceptable in a larger number of cases, quarter-DMEK may have the potential to quadruple the availability of donor endothelial tissue for endothelial keratoplasty.
