DMEK Eye Surgery

John Barsa, 73, of Parma, Ohio, says he was as “blind as a bat” until he had eye surgery at the UH Eye Institute. John had a procedure in his right eye called DMEK (pronounced DEE-mek), in which a very thin, delicate sheet of corneal cells was transplanted. The sheet of cells is only about one one-hundredth of the thickness of a dime. John was the first patient at UH to have DMEK. His eye surgeon Dr. Pankaj Gupta, who developed the DMEK transplant program for UH, says, “DMEK is probably one of the best things that we can do for our patients. It provides them the best vision possible and it is a surgery that gives me a lot of comfort and joy knowing that at the end of the day, I have a patient that’s going to successfully be able to do a lot of the things that they want to do for the rest of their life.” As for the results, John says, “I forgot how nice colors were because everything was kind of gray. And all colors are vivid to me now and shapes are very, very sharp now. I can make things out with no problem at all; 100 percent better. There’s no comparison.” For more information about DMEK, visit http://ow.ly/GlFUQ.
