Specular microscopy, Scheimpflug imaging may help identify potential graft rejection

PARIS — Combined assessment of specular microscopy and Scheimpflug imaging could aid in detecting eyes at risk for graft rejection following Descemet’s membrane endothelial keratoplasty, according to a study presented here.
“The risk of allograft rejection has decreased significantly with DMEK surgery, and the form of rejection is much milder, but still, you have cell loss with rejection, so potentially these eyes can experience secondary graft failure,” Lamis Baydoun, MD, of the University Hospital Münster, Germany, and the ELZA Institute, Switzerland, said at
