Descemet membrane endothelial keratoplasty (DMEK) was done for his right eye. In DMEK, a very thin, delicate sheet of corneal cells is transplanted. The sheet of cells is only about 1/100 of the thickness of a dime.
His left eye had been previously treated with an older procedure called DSAEK, Descemet stripping automated endothelial keratoplasty – which involves more layers of corneal tissues. The vision in his left eye improved dramatically as well.
