Abstract

Although the presence of central corneal opacities could limit the visual prognosis, Descemet Membrane Endothelial Keratoplasty (DMEK) was performed and completely resolved corneal edema and opacities on the visual axis. A rigid contact lens fitting was necessary to treat irregular astigmatism postoperatively. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
