title: Persistent lamellar interface fluid with clear cornea after Descemet stripping automated endothelial keratoplasty.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To describe clinical properties of a patient with persistent interface fluid syndrome and clear graft, 3.5 years after Descemet stripping automated endothelial keratoplasty (DSAEK).
  
  
  METHODS
  Case report.
  
  
  RESULTS
  A 69-year-old woman who had DSAEK in 2006 presented with a clear cornea (no corneal edema) and deep diffuse reticular haze in the right eye. Visual acuity was 20/40. Ultrahigh-resolution optical coherence tomography (UHR-OCT) imaging of the right eye demonstrated persistent interface fluid at the donor-recipient junction. The detachment between donor and recipient corneas was 70 μm at the center. There was no connection between the anterior chamber and the donor/recipient interface.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Despite the persistent detachment of the donor cornea, the recipient cornea can remain clear in persistent interface fluid syndrome after DSAEK.
