Purpose To report Descemet membrane endothelial keratoplasty (DMEK) for endothelial decompensation in an eye with previous radial keratotomy. Observations A history of radial keratotomy may hasten endothelial dysfunction. Previously reported surgical treatments include penetrating kerotoplasty and Descemet stripping automated endothelial keratoplasty. Conclusions and Importance DMEK may be successfully used in post-RK eyes with good recovery of visual acuity and patient satisfaction.
