Descemet’s Stripping Automated Endothelial Keratoplasty (DSAEK)
A relatively new, but proven procedure in treating endothelial dysfunction. Previously, penetrating keratoplasty (PKP) was the standard procedure for patients with cornea endothelial disease including Fuchs' dystrophy and bullous keratopathy. Many studies have confirmed the advantages of DSAEK over PKP such as rapid visual recovery, lack of induced astigmatism and preserved globe strength. As a result, many surgeons believe DSAEK is the procedure of choice for patients with endothelial dysfunction.
Deep Stromal Automated Lamellar Keratoplasty (DSALK)
DSALK is the substitution of cornea layer from a donor onto the surface of an eye that has a structural disability or anterior scarring, replacing just the diseased surface.
