DSEK

Descemet’s Stripping with Endothelial Keratoplasty (DSEK) is an exciting new technique doctors are now using.  This is used to treat patients with cloudy corneas. Descemet’s stripping allows the cornea to heal much faster, compared to traditional full thickness transplant.  This is due to not having a requirement for stitches.  The only part of the cornea replaced is the damaged inner layer resulting in rapid recovery of the patient’s vision.  People with Fuchs’ Endothelial Dystrophy and Pseudophalic Bullous Keratopathy are all candidates for DSEK.
