Descemet's Stripping Endothelial Keratectomy (DSEK) is the latest advancement in corneal transplantation where only the back layer of a diseased cornea is replaced with healthy donor cells. The doctors of Focal Point Vision were the first to bring this revolutionary procedure to South Texas and remain the most experienced having done over a hundred successful procedures.
Because all of Focal Point Vision's surgeons are Corneal Fellowship trained and the practice has invested heavily in technology to perform DSEK at the highest level, Focal Point is uniquely qualified to successfully perform DSEK surgery. Our surgeons have traveled for additional personal training with the inventors of this procedure, Frank Price M.D (Indianapolis) and Gerrit Melles M.D. (The Netherlands). No other local surgeons have such qualifications or experience with the procedure.
While the vast majority of DSEK are done in adults, one of the first DSEK on a child was done by a Focal Point Vision surgeon in San Antonio. See Coverage of DSEK in a local 6 year old boy.
