Abstract

The corneal biomechanical properties following descemetorhexis with endokeratoplasty (DXEK) and in normal subjects were studied in 100 eyes (12 DXEK and 88 age-matched normal subjects). Corneal hysteresis measurements were significantly lower in DXEK vs normal subjects. DXEK has a direct effect on corneal hysteresis and corneal biomechanical properties of the human cornea.
