Excerpt

Endothelial keratoplasty, particularly Descemet’s stripping automated endothelial keratoplasty (DSAEK), has quickly become the standard of care for adult endothelial dysfunction [1‐4]. As long-term follow-up data becomes available and surgeon comfort with the procedure increases, DSAEK is continually being applied to new diseases. Pediatric cases of endothelial dysfunction treated by DSAEK have already been reported for the treatment of bullous keratopathy following cataract surgery and Descemet’s membrane damage due to traumatic birth injury [5, 6]. …
