Auto-Descemet membrane endothelial keratopalsty (auto-DMEK).
Corneal autotransplantation has been described for cases with partial corneal pathology as well as for high-risk corneal grafts. With lamellar surgeries taking the lead in the field of corneal transplantation, reattachment of detached DM is like an auto DMEK whereby the patient's own partially damaged cornea is salvaged to provide viable vision. In case this procedure fails, an allograft DMEK graft should be the next treatment option in line.
