Abstract
Descemet's stripping automated endothelial keratoplasty (DSAEK) is an increasingly popular techniquefor transplanting corneal endothelial cells. The presence of glaucoma, and especially glaucoma tubes, however, renders the DSAEK procedure more challenging. Here, we present a case of DSAEK in a patient with quadruple glaucoma tubes.
