Influence of Graft Unfolding Time During Descemet Membrane Endothelial Keratoplasty on Postoperative Endothelial Cell Loss and Visual Acuity
Our analysis showed that the BCVA is not affected by the graft unfolding time, but suggests that prolonged graft unfolding time may have a clinically relevant impact on postoperative ECL. Therefore, it may affect graft survival in the long term.
