ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT

Endothelial transplantation has recently been accepted worldwide, in the long history of corneal transplantation. The introduction of endothelial keratoplasty (Descemet stripping automated endothelial keratoplasty and Descemet membrane endothelial keratoplasty) has enabled us to expand the surgical indications owing to the low incidence of rejection and quick recovery of visual function. New technologies have been developed to ensure stable postoperative outcomes with a shorter learning curve, such as transplantation using cultured human endothelial cells and induced pluripotent stem cells (iPS) or new devices such as artificial endothelium. This review discusses the history and characteristics of corneal transplantation alongside new treatment options that may offer hope for patients with endothelial disease in the future.
