Descemet membrane endothelial keratoplasty yields significantly superior visual recovery over penetrating keratoplasty in pseudophakic bullous keratopathy.
Cumulative two-year graft survival reached 89.1% following penetrating keratoplasty, whereas endothelial keratoplasty demonstrated lower survival at 51.3%.
Retrospective review of 51 eyes indicates repeated endothelial keratoplasty sustains graft transparency, though vigilant management of glaucoma remains vital.

Implication

Retrospective study demonstrates superior visual acuity but lower graft survival after DMEK in pseudophakic bullous keratopathy, highlighting the need for careful glaucoma monitoring.
