Descemet's Membrane Endothelial Keratoplasty (DMEK) is an innovative treatment created to treat corneal endothelial disorder with remarkable accuracy and performance. Unlike typical full-thickness corneal transplants, DMEK focuses exclusively on changing the unhealthy innermost layer of the cornea, the Descemet's membrane, and the endothelial cells.

The advantages of DMEK are countless, including boosted visual results and a lowered threat of issues. Since just a slim layer of the cornea is changed, the client's corneal structure continues to be mainly intact, adding to remarkable optical clearness. This minimally invasive procedure has shown reduced rejection rates compared to various other corneal transplant methods, such as DSAEK (Descemet's Stripping Automated Endothelial Keratoplasty), making it a favored option for qualified candidates.
