An elderly male with monocular status presented with complaints of gradual loss of vision in his left eye. Slit-lamp evaluation revealed postradial keratotomy (RK) corneal decompensation. He underwent non-Descemet stripping automated endothelial keratoplasty (nDSAEK) in his left eye. Postoperatively, his visual acuity improved from counting finger at 1 m to 20/200, J5. Graft adherence was good. A preexisting epiretinal membrane with macular edema was noted, but our patient refused any further surgical intervention for the same. In conclusion, nDSAEK may be considered as an effective treatment modality for the management of post-RK corneal decompensation.
