Descemet membrane endothelial keratoplasty (DMEK) is a method of corneal transplantation that involves the removal of a thin sheet of tissue from the posterior (innermost) side of a person's cornea to replace it with the two posterior (innermost) layers of corneal tissue from a donor's eyeball.
The reason may be greater tissue manipulation during surgery, the study concluded. [15] During surgery the patient's corneal endothelium is removed and replaced with donor tissue. With DSEK, the donor includes a thin layer of stroma, as well as endothelium, and is commonly 100–150 μm thick. With DMEK, only the endothelium is transplanted.
On the left note the adult eye before Pre Descemets Endothelial Keratoplasty surgery . The eye is white and patient cannot see. On the right is same patient after Pre Descemets Endothelial Keratoplasty surgery using a young donors 25 micron corneal tissue . Note the clear eye and patient can see the last line on the vision testing.
Osteo-odonto-keratoprosthesis (OOKP), also known as "tooth in eye" surgery, [1] is a medical procedure to restore vision in the most severe cases of corneal and ocular surface patients. It includes removal of a tooth from the patient or a donor.

Copper disposition on corneal Descemet's membrane. Significant damage to the membrane may require a corneal transplant. Damage caused by the hereditary condition known as Fuchs dystrophy (q.v.)—where Descemet's membrane progressively fails and the cornea thickens and clouds because the exchange of nutrients/fluids between the cornea and the rest of the eye is interrupted—can be reversed by ...
