DSEK is another option for people who need a cornea transplant for cornea swelling. DSEK is also called the “sutureless corneal transplant,” since it does not require stitches. DSEK has some advantages over traditional corneal transplant. These include faster vision recovery, a stronger eye, lower risk of rejection, and lower risk of conditions that can be caused by stiches, such as astigmatism and infections.
