Purpose To compare the visual outcomes, postoperative complications, and graft asymmetry between precut and manually dissected donor tissues for Descemet stripping automated endothelial keratoplasty (DSAEK) and Descemet stripping endothelial keratoplasty (DSEK) procedures, respectively. Methods Seventy eyes of 70 patients undergoing DSEK/DSAEK at...

... ± 120, P = 0.269), 1 month (mean: DSEK: 170 ± 80, DSAEK: 160 ± 60, P = 0.408), and 3 months (mean: DSEK: 160 ± 50, DSAEK: 150 ± 60, P = 0.925) [Fig. 2]. The mean host thickness (in microns) was comparable in both groups after 1 day (mean: DSEK: 630 ± 140, DSAEK: 600 ± 130, P = 0.499), 1 week (mean: DSEK: 610 ± 150, DSAEK: 580 ± 110, P = 0.356), 1 month (mean: DSEK: 560 ± 230, DSAEK: 540 ± 110, P = 0.622), and 3 months (mean: DSEK: 540 ± 140, DSAEK: 560 ± 120, P = ...
