Descemet's Membrane Endothelial Keratoplasty (DMEK) is a cutting-edge treatment designed to deal with corneal endothelial dysfunction with amazing accuracy and effectiveness. Unlike traditional full-thickness corneal transplants, DMEK focuses exclusively on changing the diseased innermost layer of the cornea, the Descemet's membrane layer, and the endothelial cells.

The benefits of DMEK are countless, including enhanced visual outcomes and a reduced risk of difficulties. Since just a thin layer of the cornea is replaced, the individual's corneal structure remains mainly undamaged, adding to premium optical clearness. This minimally intrusive treatment has shown lower denial rates compared to other corneal transplant approaches, such as DSAEK (Descemet's Stripping Automated Endothelial Keratoplasty), making it a favored option for qualified prospects.
