- Title
In keratoconic eyes, corneal hydrops may occur despite an intact Descemet membrane.
- Authors
Parker, Jack S.; Melles, Gerrit R. J.
- Abstract
In a cohort of 21 eyes with keratoconus undergoing DMEK for comorbid Fuchs endothelial dystrophy, no eye developed acute hydrops, although all underwent complete descemetorhexis, and four developed large or total graft detachments postoperatively (Parker et al. 2019). Classical corneal hydrops is a disorder in which massive fluid-filled clefts appear suddenly within the stroma of keratoconic corneas (Feder et al. 1998), especially in patients with advanced stromal disease and a history of eye rubbing.
