| Popis: | The purpose of the study was to determine clinical outcomes of Descemet Membrane Endothelial Keratoplasty (DMEK) in patients with Pseudophakic Bullous Keratopathy (PBK). The study was conducted at a tertiary referral center. This was a retrospective case series. Pseudophakic eyes having undergone DMEK surgery for Pseudophakic Bullous Keratopathy was considered the object of study. The examination implied the analysis of best corrected visual acuity (BCVA or CDVA), endothelial cell density (ECD), intraocular pressure (IOP), intraoperative and postoperative complications and a follow-up in 1, 3, and 6 months. For the purposes of the study, 25 pseudophakic eyes with PBK were examined. One month after the surgery patients reached a BCVA of 0.49±0.08(M±SD), after 3 months - BCVA of 0.65±0.12(M±SD), and a BCVA of 0.78±0.17 (M±SD) in the last follow-up in 6 months after the surgery (P |
