Objective: Cataract surgery rate (CSR) in Developing world has increased to nearly 5000/million/year with more incidence of pseudophakic corneal edema/ bullous keratopathy. We also see large number of Fuchs’ dystrophy cases, because of better diagnostic tools. So, we have to do lots of endothelial keratoplasty.
This video-assisted instruction course will highlight various types of Endothelial Keratoplasty (EK) in-depth. It includes – both manual and automated donor dissection; Descemet scoring and stripping; donor insertion techniques, etc. It will also deal with case selections; indications, contraindications, complications with their management and long term graft survival. Learning curve and pearls of Descemet membrane endothelial keratoplasty (DMEK) will also be covered at the end.
Purpose: At the end of the course, the attendee will learn DSEK/DSAEK/DMEK procedures step-by-step in a simplified manner which is relevant to developing world scenario.
