Abstract
The risk for graft rejection after DMEK is low, and an even smaller minority requires a regraft. After intensified local corticosteroid therapy, most patients show stable visual acuity and CCT, although ECD decreases. The occurrence of immune reactions up to 2 years after surgery predominantly in patients not receiving corticosteroids supports the prolonged use of corticosteroids after DMEK.
