NCT04752020

Brief Summary

This will be a prospective assessment of whether adjuvant Netarsudil use in patients undergoing Descemetorhexis without endothelial keratoplasty improves time to corneal clearance and post-operative central endothelial cell counts. The anticipated enrollment is 25 patients.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

  • Change in central corneal pachymetry over time
