Excluding systemic and surgery-related risk factors, rebubbling increases the risk of DMEK-ME. Performing a CSF scan 1 month after surgery, particularly in rebubbled eyes, efficiently detects DMEK-ME and allows the prompt initiation of treatment, e.g., topical corticosteroid and non-steroidal (NSAID) eye drops.
