First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This completed study looked at whether diabetes in a cornea donor affects the success of a corneal transplant called DMEK. Over 1,000 participants received a cornea from either a donor with or without diabetes. Researchers tracked graft failure and cell loss for one year to see if donor diabetes plays a role.
