Corneal guttae can occur after DMEK including in eyes operated for indications other than Fuchs endothelial corneal dystrophy and most likely guttae were present on the donor graft but were not detectable by routine slit-lamp and light microscopy evaluation in the eye bank. Postoperative guttae density varies among patients and especially small isolated guttae do not seem to affect clinical outcomes.
