Tomographic Differences in Thin Corneas Following DMEK in Fuchs Dystrophy: A Case–Control Study
Patients with FECD undergoing DMEK often present with postoperative corneal thinning, particularly among women. Although the underlying cause is not fully understood, these findings suggest a potential link between chronic preoperative corneal edema and the likelihood of stromal remodeling. Further research is required to elucidate the mechanisms underlying this thinning phenomenon.
