Posterior Corneal Transplantation – DMEK

DMEK is quickly becoming THE standard in posterior corneal transplantation. DMEK results in better visual acuity than DSAEK, as well as a reduced risk of graft rejection. Whether you are just beginning your DMEK journey or have a great deal of experience, consider using Miracles In Sight’s knowledgeable team for DMEK consultation and tissue preparation.
