If 1 week after uncomplicated DMEK CCT is < 600 µm and has decreased from before surgery, BCVA has improved, and there are no posterior stromal ripples, a graft detachment ≥ 1/3 and the need for rebubbling are very unlikely. In all other cases, meticulous slit-lamp and OCT inspection of the peripheral graft for detachments should be advised.
