Rationale: The cornea is the most transplanted tissue in the Netherlands, with more than 1,500 procedures performed each year. A minimally invasive technique called Descemet Membrane Endothelial Keratoplasty (DMEK) has become the preferred method in the past decade. The main advantage of DMEK over previous techniques is a low graft rejection rate (1-2% per year). Despite this, rejection prophylaxis after DMEK follows the same high potency regimen as previous techniques in the first year, and patients are burdened with indefinite immunosuppression. The current project, OPTIMISE, aims to establish an evidence-based, cost-effective regimen that effectively prevents rejection and minimizes side effects. Corticosteroid eye drops are the mainstay of ocular immunomodulatory therapy. Their main side effect is a steroid-induced increase in intraocular pressure (IOP). It manifests in about one-f
