Cornea transplant DSEK vs Full Thickness
by Jag205, Oct 26, 2009 07:29PM
Hello
Post catract, have developed corneal edema. As per doctor's suggestion, surgery recommended was combined retina surgery and corneal transplant. We preferred dseak but doctor is suggesting full thickness since clear cornea is needed for retina surgery.
1 ) Is good eye pressure a must for corneal tranplant recovery ?
2 ) Can't DSEAL be done first to resove cornea issue and then perform surgey to resolve eye pressure ?
Can someone help me with the question ?

Can this be done only with full transplant ? Is it possible to do a DSEAk furst and retinal surgery as a follow up later after cornea claring up ?
