Cornea transplants have evolved significantly in the past two decades—from full penetrating keratoplasty becoming less common, to the introduction of Descemet’s stripping automated endothelial keratoplasty and, ultimately, the development of Descemet’s membrane endothelial keratoplasty, which is becoming increasingly accepted for both normal and complex eyes. These improvements have appealing benefits, including decreased risk of graft rejection and faster recovery time, and offer the opportunity for further efficiency if the case also involves a cataract. Recognized as the “triple procedure,” it classically consisted of a full-thickness, corneal transplant/PK combined with cataract surgery and IOL implantation. Read More
