Dr. Jacob demonstrates her technique for endoilluminator-assisted pre-Descemet endothelial keratoplasty (E-PDEK) with phacoemulsification in a patient with a failed penetrating keratoplasty graft with early cataractous changes. Described by Amar Agarwal, FRCS, PDEK involves the transplantation of Descemet membrane, the endothelium, and Dua’s layer. E-PDEK does not require advanced equipment and results in early visual rehabilitation without interface changes. These grafts can be harvested in donor eyes of all age groups, and the graft is resilient and resistant to accidental tears. According to Dr. Jacob, E-PDEK allows easier and faster surgery and decreases the number of intracameral steps required, resulting in less endothelial cell loss and better surgical results
