PURPOSE: To compare vision, intraocular forward light scatter and corneal backscatter between deep lamellar endothelial keratoplasty (DLEK) and penetrating keratoplasty (PK) for endothelial dysfunction.DESIGN: A randomized clinical trial.METHODS: Thirteen eyes (12 patients) were randomized to DLEK with a 9 mm scleral incision, and 15 eyes (14 patients) were randomized to PK. The primary outcome was high contrast best spectacle-corrected visual acuity (BSCVA) at 12 months after surgery; intraocular forward light scatter and corneal backscatter were measured at one, three, six, and 12 months after surgery.RESULTS: BSCVA at 12 months was 0.34 +/- 0.16 logMAR (logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution) for DLEK and 0.25 +/- 0.21 logMAR for PK (P = .23; minimum detectable difference at 12 months was 0.23 logMAR). The change in postoperative forward light scatter after DLEK correlated with the change in BSCVA (r = -0.66; P
