TL;DR: The risk for graft rejection after DMEK is low, and an even smaller minority requires a regraft, although ECD decreases, and after intensified local corticosteroid therapy, most patients show stable visual acuity and CCT, althoughECD decreases.

TL;DR: After an initial learning curve in DMEK surgery, results of visual acuity and ECL do not seem to further improve, however, the complication rate continuously declines, at least over the subsequent 5-year period analyzed herein.

TL;DR: Whereas SF620% anterior chamber tamponade does not seem to negatively affect the clinical outcome of DMEK surgery within the first postoperative year, use ofSF620% significantly reduces the rate of rebubblings.

TL;DR: Bruch's membrane opening-based minimum rim area measurements offer advantages compared to one-dimensional parameters assessing neuroretinal rim by SD-OCT, and in nonglaucomatous eyes, BMO-MRA values seem comparable for the full range of disc sizes.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated whether the impression held by Descemet membrane endothelial keratoplasty (DMEK) surgeons that young donors are less suitable for DMEK is reflected in 1-year postoperative results.
