Popis: The purpose of this study is to compare the safety and clinical results of descemet membrane endothelial keratoplasty (DMEK) in topical, peribulbar or general anesthesia. This is a retrospective, post hoc matched study of 120 patients having received DMEK surgery with different types of anesthesia (n = 40 topical, n = 40 peribulbar, n = 40 general anesthesia). Endpoint criteria were intraoperative complications, endothelial cell count, central corneal thickness and graft rejection rate, rebubbling rate and best-corrected visual acuity after 1, 3 and 6 months. The group with topical anesthesia showed more often intraoperative difficulties such as vitreous pressure (p
