Descemet's Membrane layer Endothelial Keratoplasty (DMEK) is an innovative treatment created to deal with corneal endothelial disorder with exceptional precision and efficiency. Unlike traditional full-thickness corneal transplants, DMEK focuses exclusively on changing the diseased innermost layer of the cornea, the Descemet's membrane, and the endothelial cells.

The benefits of DMEK are various, including enhanced visual outcomes and a lowered risk of problems. Because only a thin layer of the cornea is changed, the patient's corneal framework continues to be mostly intact, adding to superior optical clearness. In addition, this minimally intrusive procedure has actually shown lower being rejected rates compared to other corneal transplant methods, such as DSAEK (Descemet's Stripping Automated Endothelial Keratoplasty), making it a preferred selection for qualified candidates.
