Use of intraoperative UBM to determine graft orientation during DMEK correlated with proper graft orientation, as was verified postoperatively by anterior segment-OCT. The use of UBM can be particularly helpful in cases of poor graft visibility due to opaque corneal stroma, pigment or blood in the anterior chamber during surgery, or when the blue tint of the graft fades rapidly, which may preclude proper determination of graft's orientation.
