Rate of Endothelial Cell Loss and Graft Survival in Descemet Membrane Endothelial Keratoplasty in Eyes Requiring a Rebubble

Abstract

Eyes undergoing any rebubble procedure in the postoperative period after DMEK have an increased risk of endothelial cell loss and graft failure at 6 months postoperative. DMEK in eyes for failed penetrating keratoplasty and failed DMEK had the highest rebubble rate, with the former reaching statistical significance.
