Descemet's Membrane layer Endothelial Keratoplasty (DMEK) is a cutting-edge treatment developed to deal with corneal endothelial dysfunction with remarkable precision and effectiveness. Unlike standard full-thickness corneal transplants, DMEK concentrates solely on replacing the diseased innermost layer of the cornea, the Descemet's membrane layer, and the endothelial cells.

The advantages of DMEK are numerous, including enhanced aesthetic results and a lowered threat of complications. Since only a thin layer of the cornea is changed, the client's corneal structure remains largely intact, adding to superior optical clarity. Moreover, this minimally invasive procedure has revealed reduced being rejected rates compared to various other corneal transplant methods, such as DSAEK (Descemet's Stripping Automated Endothelial Keratoplasty), making it a preferred selection for eligible candidates.
