Before revision: Medical uses Indications for DMEK include: Corneal dystrophy involving the corneal endothelial layer, eg: Fuchs' endothelial dystrophy Posterior polymorphous corneal dystrophy Pseudophakic bullous keratopathy Iridocorneal endothelial syndrome Nomenclature A minor variation to DMEK is the Descemet Membrane Automated Endothelial Keratoplasty (DMAEK), which involves automated preparation of donor tissue, using a microkeratome or femtosecond laser .
