Cornea. 2020 Dec;39(12):1576-1577. doi: 10.1097/ICO.0000000000002426.

Abstract

Prestripped Descemet membrane endothelial keratoplasty is a relatively new technique that offers advantages in reduced surgical time and reduced tissue wastage compared with surgeon-stripped graft. Here, we report the following 2 types of prestripped Descemet membrane endothelial keratoplasty graft complications and their management: 1 free floating in the transport media and the other graft mispositioned.
