Objectives

Narrative objectives1

Descemet membrane endothelial keratoplasty
(DMEK) involving transplantation of only one layer of the endothelium and the thin Descemet membrane, results in quick and excellent improvement in postoperative visual acuity due to less irregularity on the anterior and posterior surfaces of the cornea, and to the very low incidence of post-operative graft rejection. Many ophthalmologists in Europe and the United States have started to perform DMEK in patients with Fuchs corneal endothelial dystrophy. However, it is thought to be a difficult procedure for Asian eyes, which tend to have a shorter axial length, narrower anterior chamber, darkly colored iris, and more advanced corneal edema resulting from various etiologies of bullous keratopathy, compared to Caucasian eyes. A prospective study of the efficacy of DMEK in Asian eye is necessary. BBG 250 (BBG; Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA) was dissolved in balanced saline solution (BSS or BSS-plus; Alcon, Osaka, Japan) to 0.1% (w/v). All grafts were peeled as described previously. BBG (0.1%, w/v) was used to stain the graft edges during peeling. The donor membrane graft stained with 0.1% (w/v) BBG (1.0 mg/ml) was placed into an intraocular lens injector (model WJ-60M 1 or 2; Santen Pharmaceuticals, Osaka, Japan) and inserted into the anterior chamber. After the donor graft disc was loaded on an intraocular lens inserter (WJ-60M;Santen) with a small amount of OVD(Opegan; Santen) between the graft and the tip of the plunger

Assessment

Primary outcomes

Visual acuity(logMAR),Endothelial Cell Density(ECD), Central Corneal Thickness(CCT),High-order Abberattions(HOAs), and VFQ-25 were assessed preoperatively, and at1,3, 6 months, 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 years postoperatively.

Key secondary outcomes

Central retinal thickness, Cystoid macula edema(CME), posteior synechia, iris abnormality, operative time, graft unfolding timewere assessed preoperatively, and at1,3, 6 months, 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 years postoperatively.
