What this trial studies

This observational study focuses on patients who have undergone posterior lamellar keratoplasty techniques, specifically DSAEK and DMEK, to treat Fuchs' endothelial corneal dystrophy and pseudophakic bullous keratopathy. The study aims to evaluate the prognosis and visual acuity outcomes of these surgical interventions over a specified period. By analyzing data from patients treated at the Metz-Thionville Regional Hospital, researchers will gather insights into the effectiveness and long-term results of these advanced corneal surgeries.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could provide valuable information on the effectiveness of posterior lamellar keratoplasty techniques, leading to improved patient outcomes in corneal surgeries.

How similar studies have gone: Other studies have shown promising results with similar posterior lamellar keratoplasty techniques, indicating a potential for success in this observational study.
