Anterior segment optical coherence tomography enables repeat Descemet Membrane Endothelial Keratoplasty instead of penetrating keratoplasty in a patient with a prominent corneal opacity following DMEK failure: a case report

Abstract Background Persistent corneal edema in eyes with endothelial dysfunction, such as graft failure, may lead to severe corneal opacification obscuring deeper ocular structures. In such cases, penetrating keratoplasty (PKP) has traditionally been preferred over posterior lamellar keratoplasty t...
