LASIK for hyperopia correction pos DSAEK(Descement Stripping Automated Endotelial Keratoplasty)

DOI: 10.5935/0034-7280.20160067

DSAEK (Descemet stripping automated endothelial keratoplasty) is one of the options for corneal endothelium disease, which in some patients can result in a residual hyperopia after the procedure. Usually 6 to 12 months after corneal transplantation refraction is already stable. This report describes a therapeutic option used in a 54 years old patient with Fuchs’ endothelial dystrophy submitted to cataract and corneal transplant that resulted in residual hyperopia, three years after the procedure the best corrected vision was 20/20 with a refraction of +3.25 -1.00 (5 º) treated with Hyperopic – LASIK (Laser-assisted In Situ Keratomileusis) with satisfactory visual result.
