Intraoperative OCT-assisted DMEK positively impacts efficiency

Intraoperative OCT-assisted Descemet’s membrane endothelial keratoplasty gives surgeons a direct assessment of the graft orientation and apposition, which increases the safety and efficiency of the surgery, according to a study.
“The availability of intraoperative OCT enabled us to critically evaluate and revise our practice patterns,” Marc B. Muijzer, BSc, told Healio/OSN. “The promising outcomes of our study show that using intraoperative OCT altered surgical decision-making in 42% of surgeries and improved surgical efficiency by refraining from pressurizing the eye
