TL;DR: DMEK had better visual acuity results in the first year after surgery than typically reported for other endothelial keratoplasty techniques, while having less refractive changes and similar endothelial cell counts but a higher rebubbling rate.

TL;DR: Tomographic-derived pachymetric parameters were better able to differentiate normal and keratoconic corneas than single-point pachymetry measurements and the role of tomography in identifying early forms of ectasia as well as ectasia risk among LASIK candidates is needed.

TL;DR: The majority of the patients preferred or would recommend the DMEK procedure and faster visual recovery and better final visual acuity were the main benefits of theDMEK technique.

TL;DR: Three-dimensional corneal tomographic and ORA biomechanical measurements provide additional information that may help identify individuals at high risk for naturally occurring or iatrogenic corNEal ectasia.

TL;DR: The random forest (RF) provided highest accuracy among AI models in this sample with 100% sensitivity for clinical ectasia with a named Pentacam Random Forest Index (PRFI), which enhances ectasia diagnosis.
