We present the case of a 57-year-old woman who had combined Descemet-stripping automated endothelial keratoplasty (DSAEK) and phacoemulsification with implantation of a toric intraocular lens (IOL). Surgery was intended to treat a cataract developing in a post-penetrating keratoplasty (PKP) eye with high astigmatism and endothelial decompensation. Six months after uneventful surgery, the cornea...

Descemet stripping automated endothelial keratoplasty (DSAEK) is the most common corneal transplant procedure. A key step in the procedure is preparing the donor cornea for transplantation. This can be accomplished via 1 of 3 alternatives: surgeon cuts the cornea on the day of surgery, the cornea is precut ahead of time in an offsite facility by a trained technician, or a precut cornea is purch...
