Partial corneal transplant procedure DSEAK? Hello, I have a friend who just had the procedure done DSAEK. He is 38 and it was five days after surgery. At that time, the top and sides are attached, but the bottom has not yet very attached and he can not see the air bubble. So the question is as follows: 1) Is this normal? 2) Being that this is a young man that could be cured by ...
1) The cornea is not entirely new to join until the bubble is gone. If the background has not annexed to this stage, they should follow up with the doctor. Also make sure your friend has followed the instructions of doctors on how long he should lie flat on his back if it is possible for the fabric to dislodge in the first days.
2) The normal duration is 3-6 months to recover. Because your friend is young 3-4 months is most likely, but it also depends on how advanced their disease is in the eye. The dseak is a relatively new statistical terms, they do not have enough data to say what is "normal" they do not know the long-term results. Is your friend of Fuch dystrophy?
3) The bubble should disappear by itself.
4) Excersice depend on his recovery is ongoing and that his doctor will be able to answer this question safely.
