Predictive Factors for Long-Term De Novo Intraocular Pressure Elevation After Descemet Membrane Endothelial Keratoplasty
Pseudoexfoliation, prolonged steroid use, and peripheral anterior synechiae were identified as risk factors for IOP elevation after DMEK. In these complex cases, switching to a milder steroid at an earlier stage may be recommended, provided that the balance is maintained to avoid compromising graft survival.
