Graft thickness has little effect on refractive shift after DSEK, phaco

PHILADELPHIA — Central graft thickness and postoperative refractive shift showed a weak correlation 3 months after Descemet’s stripping endothelial keratoplasty in pseudophakic eyes, according to a study presented here.“If someone is planning a triple procedure or a combined cataract extraction with DSEK, and when you’re performing your IOL calculations and when you’re choosing the lens, you want to know what your refractive outcome will be, and that will guide your lens selection,” Sebastian P. Lesniak, MD, said at the Wills Eye Alumni Conference.
