Descemet’s Membrane Endothelial Keratoplasty (DMEK)
Descemet’s Membrane Endothelial Keratoplasty (DMEK) is an advanced corneal transplant technique that replaces only the thin innermost layer of the cornea—the Descemet’s membrane and endothelial cells. It is primarily used to treat Fuchs’ dystrophy, corneal edema, and endothelial failure, offering a more precise and natural visual restoration than traditional corneal transplants.
At Desai Eye Hospital, we specialize in DMEK surgery for faster recovery, reduced risk of rejection, and improved vision clarity, ensuring optimal patient outcomes with state-of-the-art surgical techniques.
How Does It Work?
- Used to treat endothelial dysfunction with high precision.
- Only the damaged Descemet’s membrane and endothelium are removed.
- A delicate, ultra-thin donor graft is implanted.
- An air bubble is used to position and secure the graft.
- Healing is quicker with minimal discomfort.
- Provides sharper vision compared to other corneal transplants.
- Lower risk of graft rejection due to selective transplantation.
- Offers a more natural and long-lasting visual outcome.
