The Last 200 Surgeon-Loaded Descemet Membrane Endothelial Keratoplasty Tissue Versus the First 200 Preloaded Descemet Membrane Endothelial Keratoplasty Tissue

Abstract

Tissue that is trephinated, stained, and loaded into an injector by the eye bank and then shipped to the surgeon had no difference in clinical outcomes compared with tissue where the surgeon performs these steps. The safety and speed of using preloaded tissue should be considered by DMEK surgeons.
