In this study, two cases with corneal edema secondary to intravitreal dexamethasone implantation for macular edema and its management with Descemet Membrane Endothelial Keratoplasty (DMEK) surgery were evaluated. At the last visits, satisfactory anatomical results but limited visual improvement related to retinal disorders were achieved. As summary, this report revealed that DMEK surgery is a good option in cases with corneal edema secondary to dexamethasone implant migration.
