Descemet Membrane Endothelial Keratoplasty

Descemet Membrane Endothelial Keratoplasty (DMEK) is a procedure that removes the damaged Descemet membrane and endothelium from the eye. This unhealthy tissue is then replaced with healthy donor tissue. DMEK is for patients who have corneal diseases such as Fuch’s Dystrophy, Iridocorneal Endothelial Syndrome (ICE) and Posterior Polymorphous Corneal Dystrophy (PPCD).
