PURPOSE: To evaluate the clinical outcome of Descemet membrane endothelial keratoplasty (DMEK) performed in eyes with comorbid keratoconus (KCN) and corneal endothelial dysfunction.
METHODS: Twenty-five consecutive eyes of 14 patients with comorbid stable KCN underwent DMEK for corneal endothelial dysfunction; best spectacle corrected visual acuity (BSCVA), maximum corneal curvature (Kmax), maximum corneal power (Pmax), central corneal thickness (CCT), and intra- and postoperative complications were assessed.
RESULTS: Excluding eyes requiring re-transplantation for primary graft failure (n = 3), all eyes showed improvement in BSCVA, reaching ≥ 20/40 (0.5) in 86%, ≥ 20/25 (0.8) in 55%, and ≥ 20/20 (1.0) in 27% by one month postoperatively; 90%, 76%, and 48% by 6 months postoperatively; and 88%, 76%, and 47% by 12 months postoperatively. CCT decreased from 571μm preoperatively to 485μm at 1 month (p < 0.001) and 481μm at 12 months (p < 0.001). Kmax decreased by a median of 1.4 diopters (D) at 1 month (p = 0.003) and 3.1 D at 12 months (p = 0.021), and every eye with a preoperative Kmax ≥ 46 D demonstrated flattening. Pmax decreased by 2.1 D at 1 month (p = 0.001) and 4.0 D at 12 months (p = 0.016).
CONCLUSION: DMEK is technically feasible in eyes with comorbid KCN and may give excellent outcomes visual and refractive outcomes, including significant corneal flattening, which may potentially create a visually significant hyperopic shift in patients with severely ectatic corneas.
