Peripheral Iridotomy-Less Approach in Descemet’s Membrane Endothelial Keratoplasty Using Pupil-Dilating Eye Drops, a Retrospective Case–Control Study
Patients may benefit from the promising results of the study regarding postoperative IOP developments and graft viability after DMEK using mydriatic eye drops (phenylephrine 25 mg/mL, tropicamide 5 mg/mL). PI-less triple DMEK in particular might improve accessibility, reduce surgical complexity, or lower costs, making it attractive in resource-limited settings. Close postoperative IOP monitoring is advised in PI-less DMEKs.
