Descemet's Membrane layer Endothelial Keratoplasty (DMEK) is a cutting-edge treatment designed to deal with corneal endothelial dysfunction with amazing accuracy and effectiveness. Unlike traditional full-thickness corneal transplants, DMEK focuses specifically on changing the diseased innermost layer of the cornea, the Descemet's membrane layer, and the endothelial cells.

The advantages of DMEK are many, including enhanced visual results and a lowered threat of difficulties. Because just a slim layer of the cornea is changed, the individual's corneal structure stays mainly undamaged, adding to remarkable optical clearness. This minimally intrusive procedure has shown reduced denial rates compared to various other corneal transplant approaches, such as DSAEK (Descemet's Stripping Automated Endothelial Keratoplasty), making it a favored option for eligible candidates.
