简介
Purpose:
The purpose of this study was to evaluate 5-year safety and efficacy outcomes of femtosecond-enabled Descemet membrane endothelial keratoplasty (F-DMEK) in patients with Fuchs' endothelial dystrophy (FED).
Methods:
This was a retrospective study, including patients with FED and cataract who underwent either F-DMEK (16 eyes of 15 patients) or manual DMEK (M-DMEK)(42 eyes of 37 patients) combined with cataract extraction. Outcome measures included visual acuity, graft detachment, graft survival, and endothelial cell loss.
Results:
The average follow-up in F-DMEK and M-DMEK was 57.1±12.4 months and 58.5±17.3 months, respectively (P= 0.757). The rates of primary failure (0% vs. 9.5%, P= 0.567), secondary failure (0% for both), and graft rejection (0% vs. 7.1%, P= 0.533) did not differ significantly between the groups. Improvement in best spectacle-corrected visual acuity was similar in F …
