A Comparison of Visual Functions and Side-effects After DSAEK or DMEK for Fuchs' Endothelial Dystrophy
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Phaco-DSAEK and Phaco-DMEK for Fuchs' Endothelial Dystrophy. Completed, enrolled 112 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Descemet's stripping automated endothelial keratoplasty (DSAEK) and Descemet's membrane endothelial keratoplasty (DMEK) are becoming increasingly popular as treatments for Fuchs' endothelial dystrophy. However, despite several years of use the incidence of cystoid macular edema and damage related to increased intraocular pressure (IOP), and the forward scattering of light through the eye following DSAEK or DMEK have to our knowledge not been prospectively described. Therefore, this project will be a randomized controlled trial investigating these matters.

Interventions
The intervention will be performed as a DSAEK triple-procedure with phacoemulsification and intraocular lens implantation prior to DSAEK.
The intervention will be performed as a DMEK triple-procedure with phacoemulsification and intraocular lens implantation prior to DMEK.
