Abstract
Aims: To describe a new technique in Descemet Stripping Automated Endothelial Keratoplasty (DSAEK).
Materials and methods: In this technique, we use easily available materials (mainly a Nelaton tube) to make an injector for loading DSAEK lenticule and also easily pulling it (using a gauge 23 needle) into the eye. In this paper, we report outcomes of this technique in four cases.
Results: Using these available instruments could easily lead to a clear postoperative cornea. Mean Endothelial Cell Density (ECD) loss at sixth postoperative month was 26%.
Conclusion: We proposed a novel effective user-friendly and affordable technique to perform DSAEK.
