Bubble-induced IOP and duration of air tamponade significantly affect graft attachment and re-bubbling rate in Descemet’s membrane endothelial keratoplasty, according to a study.In a prospective series of 117 patients undergoing DMEK, IOP was measured immediately after filling the anterior chamber with an air bubble and categorized as low (less 10 mm Hg), normal (10 mm Hg to 20 mm Hg) and high (greater than 20 mm Hg).
