Optical Quality of the Cornea After Descemet Membrane Endothelial Keratoplasty

Anterior and posterior corneal HOAs, as well as backscattered light from the cornea, were elevated in eyes suffering from Fuchs endothelial dystrophy and remained higher throughout 6 months after DMEK. If present, anterior surface irregularities and anterior corneal haze may be the most important limiting factors in visual rehabilitation after DMEK.
