Incidence and Outcomes of Cystoid Macular Edema after Descemet Membrane Endothelial Keratoplasty (DMEK) and DMEK Combined with Cataract Surgery

PURPOSE: To investigate the incidence and outcomes of cystoid macular edema (CME) after Descemet membrane endothelial keratoplasty (DMEK) alone and DMEK combined with cataract surgery (DMEK triple).

MATERIALS AND METHODS: A retrospective chart review was performed for patients who underwent DMEK and DMEK triple between January 2014 and March 2018 at two tertiary hospitals. Patients with minimum of 6 months of follow-up were included. Logistic regression analysis was used to identify potential risk factors for CME including gender, age, glaucoma, uveitis, epiretinal membrane, diabetes mellitus, iridotomy, and rebubbling.

RESULTS: 09 eyes of 193 patients who underwent DMEK (124 eyes) and DMEK triple (85 eyes) were included. The 6-month incidence of CME was 3.8% (8/209) for all cases, 2.4% (2/85) for DMEK triple, and 4.8% (6/124) for DMEK alone. CME was treated with topical prednisolone acetate 1% and nepafenac four times daily, and/or periocular triamcinolone acetonide, with resolution in all cases. On average, CME was detected 8.9 ± 2.1 weeks postoperatively, with a mean time to resolution of 4.1 ± 1.7 months. The 6-month best-corrected distance visual acuity of eyes that developed CME was not significantly different compared to eyes that did not develop CME (0.17 ± 0.15 logMAR vs. 0.23 ± 0.27 logMAR; p = .76). On logistic regression analysis, no risk factors for developing CME were identified.

CONCLUSIONS: The incidence of CME after DMEK was low and not associated with decreased long-term visual acuity. Most cases of CME occurred between 1 and 3 months postoperatively. Predictive factors for CME after DMEK require further study.
