I had DSAEK surgery Dec of 2007, actually just short of .4 months . My vision is just great at 20/25, and it has been that since my 6 week checkup post surgery. I do not know where you live, but my DSAEK surgeon is in Houston Texas, at Houston Eye Associates, His name is John Goosey, and I am very proudly recommending him to you. I met people from all over the US in his waiting room who came to him for the DSAEK surgery. You absolutely cannot go wrong with this fabulous surgeon, who has done many DSEAK surgeries, and that is a qualificaation that you MUST have when choosing a surgeon. Dr. Goosey also teaches other doctor how to do DSAEK. There are doctors who say they do DSAEK, but then you find out they have only really done very few. If that's the case, just keep looking.
