- Abstract
In our recently published article 'Are Descemet membrane ruptures the root cause of corneal hydrops in keratoconic eyes? Therefore, it would stand to reason that a perforation during DALK in KC eyes would also result in hydrops formation. In conclusion, these observations support our recent findings that a combined defect in DM and the anatomically abnormal posterior stroma, rather than solely a break in DM, is associated with corneal hydrops in eyes with KC.
