Phototherapeutic keratectomy for anterior stromal fibrosis following DMEK

摘要

Anterior stromal fibrosis is often seen in advanced cases of Fuchs endothelial dystrophy or secondary endothelial insufficiency. As Descemet membrane endothelial keratoplasty (DMEK) can completely eliminate the corneal edema and the guttae in these patients, anterior stromal fibrosis often remains leading to a reduction in visual function.
