Macrostriae and Descemet’s membrane folds in the Descemet’s stripping endothelial keratoplasty graft

Turaka, Kiran.

Descemet’s stripping endothelial keratoplasty (DSEK) is a good alternative to penetrating keratoplasty in eyes with endothelial dysfunction due to faster healing, better refractive outcomes, absence of suture-related complications, and better wound security. The complications usually encountered after DSEK are graft dislocation, detachment, and rejection, secondary glaucoma, epithelial downgrowth, retrocorneal fibrous membrane, aqueous misdirection, cataract development and other minor non-vision threatening complications.[1-3] Wrinkles or folds after endothelial keratoplasty can cause poor visual outcome.[4] We report a case of macrostriae and Descemet’s membrane folds in a DSEK graft.
