The Incidence of Pseudophakic Corneal Edema/ Bullous Keratopathy Is Increasing. We Also See Large Number of Fuchs’ Dystrophy Cases, Because of Better Diagnostic Tools. So, We Have to Do Lots of Endothelial Keratoplasty (Ek). Descemet Membrane Endothelial Keratoplasty (Dmek) Is Now Preferable Over Dsek/dsaek Because It Is Perfectly Anatomical with Faster Rehabilitation and with 20/20 Vision in Most Cases. but Learning Curve of Dmek Is Relatively Steep. this Video-assisted Instruction Course Will Highlight Dmek Step-by-step and In-depth.
