Multicenter Early Experience of Preloaded Descemet Membrane Endothelial Keratoplasty With Endothelium-Inwards Technique With Dextran-Free Preservation Media
Preloaded endothelium-in DMEK grafts preserved in dextran-free media seem safe and clinically effective, with encouraging outcomes in visual acuity and detachment rates. These results support the feasibility of this approach and highlight the need for prospective controlled trials to confirm its advantages over dextran-based methods.
