Pupillary Abnormalities in Descemet Membrane Endothelial Keratoplasty After Nearly Full Tamponade

Conclusions: Nonischemic pupillary abnormalities can be seen in patients with DMEK using a nearly full air/gas tamponade in the AC after surgery despite patent iridectomy especially when combined with cataract surgery. Ensuring complete mydriasis in the immediate postoperative period and a free-floating bubble in the AC above the inferior pupillary margin may reduce its incidence.
