Preservation of Preloaded DMEK Lenticules in Dextran and Non-Dextran-Based Organ Culture Medium

Figure 1

Endothelial cell density, mortality, and uncovered areas of preloaded DMEK lenticules at 100 magnification. (a, c, e) show healthy endothelium that was found after stripping with minimal mortality in different conditions as listed. (b, d, f) show mortality and uncovered areas in each condition. C1 and C3 showed high mortality (trypan blue positive cells marked with arrow) and uncovered areas as compared to C2, which showed minimal mortality.
