Preloaded Descemet Membrane Endothelial Keratoplasty Donor Tissue: Surgical Technique and Early Clinical Results

Conclusions: This is the first report of the clinical use of prestained, preloaded tissue for DMEK. The characteristics and handling of the tissue were not different from those of surgeon-loaded tissue. Because punching, staining, and loading the graft intraoperatively is not necessary, the surgery time and risk of damaging donor tissue are reduced when using preloaded tissue.
