This video-based course will present a complete guideline to simplify Descemet's Membrane Endothelial Keratoplasty and include it in the corneal surgeon’s armamentarium, based on our experience with over 650 cases. We will go through a detailed description on patient selection, required surgical devices, and a step-by-step tutorial for each surgical stage, including a safe and unique method of corneal stripping and tissue preparation, insertion, positioning and attachment. Emphasis will be placed on tips and tricks for both standard and complex cases, with faculty panel discussion and interaction with attendees.
