PurposeTo report 6-month outcomes of visual acuity, the corneal thickness and endothelial cell density (ECD) in patients undergoing femtosecond laser-assisted Descemet’s stripping endothelial keratoplasty (FS-DSEK).MethodsThis prospective, consecutive, interventional series examined 25 eyes of 25 patients who underwent FS-DSEK for Fuchs endothelial dystrophy and bullous keratopathy. The pre-cut corneal endothelial graft thickness (CET) was 150 µm. Best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), central corneal thickness (CCT), donor CET, recipient corneal stromal thickness (CST) and ECD were assessed at 1 week and 1, 2, 3 and 6 months postoperatively.ResultsThe mean BCVA at 6 months was 0.76 ± 0.35 logMAR units, improving from 1.54 ± 0.52 logMAR. CCT decreased significantly, from 759.8 ± 152.4 µm at 1 week to 631.7 ± 79.7 µm at 6 months (P= 0.001) postoperatively. CET recovered to 153.4 ± 33.7 µm (P= 0.076) at 6 months as pre-cut status. The CST decreased from 561.5 ± 96.3 µm at 1 week to 479.7 ± 57.9 µm at 6 months (P< 0.001). Preoperatively, the donor ECD was 2747.6 ± 255.4 cells/mm2, and the ECD decreased to 1729.1 ± 562.9 cells/mm2at 6 months, for a peak ECD loss of 36.86%. A greater decrease in CST observed from 1 week to 6 months postoperatively correlated with a lower ECD loss (P= 0.019) and a lower preoperative ECD (P= 0.012). However, a thinner CET correlated with a higher preoperative ECD (P= 0.028).ConclusionsFS-DSEK is a safe and effective surgical alternative for corneal endothelial decompensation. The donor ECD and its changes could be used as predictive factors for the improvement of CST and CET.
