The results of the study of eye status of 7 patients (7 eyes) after Descemet's stripping endothelial keratoplasty (DSEK) during 6 month are represented. 5 patients has DSEK only and 2 patients had DSEK and phacoemulsification with IOL implantation. Over the entire period of observation in 28% of the cases developed dislocation of the graft and in 14% of the cases developed endothelial dysfunction in the graft. It have been established that initial corneal astigmatism almost didn't change during study period, central corneal thickness was (773 ± 204) mm, endothelial cells density was between 1360 to 2018 cells/mm2, a loss of endothelial cells in the graft was 23.52%. These facts presume to use DSEK as alternative operation to penetrating keratoplasty in patients with endothelial dystrophies.
