Severe Corneal Flattening After Endothelial Keratoplasty: Collagen Compaction Syndrome
Chronic corneal edema may result in severe corneal flattening after EK. Preoperative duration of stromal edema might affect the outcome of EK and should, therefore, be considered in the timing of surgery. In cases of dense focal edema, including post-Descemet stripping only surgery, rescue treatment at week 8 should be considered.
