Anterior corneal aberrations cause suboptimal visual results after DMEK

LONDON — Anterior corneal aberrations, which develop as a consequence of Fuchs’ dystrophy, hinder the possibility to achieve 20/20 vision after Descemet’s membrane endothelial keratoplasty, according to one specialist.“Although we all like to be conservative, we should consider intervening a little earlier in some of our patients, because the more you allow Fuchs’ dystrophy to be present in the cornea, the [worse] the visual results will be,” Jack Parker, MD, said at the European Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgeons Congress.
