چکیده

although the majority of the cornea was nonedematous, there was marked corneal edema in the area of the GV markings with bulla noted (Figure 1). Over several weeks, the edema gradually resolved with interface haze in the area of prior edema. The visual acuity resolved to 20/40 without correction. Case 2. A 67-year-old woman with a history of Fuchs endothelial dystrophy presented with gradual onset of blurry vision of the right eye. On examination, it was found that her best-corrected visual acuity was 20/60 in the right eye and 20/30 in the left eye. There was 3 guttata with 1 edema of the right eye. There was a well-centered posterior chamber intraocular lens on the right. His left eye had 1 guttata and a 1 nuclear sclerotic cataract. An uneventful DSAEK was performed (thickness of graft unknown). On postoperative day 1, the graft was fully attached, there was 2 diffuse corneal edema present, and her visual acuity was 3/200. The edema was most prominent in the area of the purple markings (Figure 2). At postoperative week 1, the patient’s visual acuity was unchanged. Interface haze was noted at the area of the markings. At the 2-week postoperative visit, her visual acuity was 20/ 400, and her best-corrected visual acuity was 20/80. No change occurred 1 month after surgery. At postoperative week 6, the patient had a best-corrected visual acuity of 20/40 with a clear cornea.
