Most patients with TIO after DSAEK obtain good visual outcomes. TIO spontaneously improves or even resolves during follow-up without intervention. The etiology of this condition is unknown, but we propose 2 different mechanisms. The elongated type could be secondary to an irregular cut of the donor with the microkeratome blade. The punctate type may be secondary to retained viscoelastic.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
