Retinometer predicts visual outcome in Descemet membrane endothelial keratoplasty.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To analyze the preoperative predictive value of retinometer visual acuity (VA) in eyes following Descemet membrane endothelial keratoplasty (DMEK).

Methods

Patients undergoing DMEK between August 2011 and July 2020 were included. Preoperative interference visual acuity was assessed using Heine Lambda 100 Retinometer. Depending on the presence or absence of concomitant ocular disease, the Retinometer was evaluated for its ability to preoperatively predict best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) six months after surgery using correlation, simple and multiple linear regression, contingency analyses, and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis. Preoperative corneal backscatter was correlated with Retinometer prediction accuracy.

Results

A total of 198 eyes we
