A New User-Friendly and Affordable Method in Descemet Stripping Endothelial Keratoplasty.
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Aims
To describe a new technique in Descemet Stripping Automated Endothelial Keratoplasty (DSAEK).Materials and methods
In this technique, we use easily available materials (mainly a Nelaton tube) to make an injector for loading DSAEK lenticule and also easily pulling it (using a gauge 23 needle) into the eye. In this paper, we report outcomes of this technique in four cases.Results
Using these available instruments could easily lead to a clear postoperative cornea. Mean Endothelial Cell Density (ECD) loss at sixth postoperative month was 26%.Conclusion
We proposed a novel effective user-friendly and affordable technique to perform DSAEK.
