Patterns of Corneal Endothelialization and Corneal Clearance After Descemet Membrane Endothelial Keratoplasty for Fuchs Endothelial Dystrophy

The presence of donor endothelium in the recipient anterior chamber may be required for endothelial migration and/or recovery of corneal clarity. Re-endothelialization may be associated with massive endothelial migration and some form of cell signaling to draw donor endothelial cells toward the recipient posterior stroma (“homing”).
