متن کاملPenetrating keratoplasty for pseudophakic corneal oedema.
AIMS The study was designed to investigate the results of penetrating keratoplasty (PK) for pseudophakic corneal oedema (PCO). METHODS Retrospective analysis of 80 consecutive patients (82 eyes) who underwent PK for PCO between the years 1980-1992 with a minimum follow up of 12 months. RESULTS PKs for PCO have accounted for as many as 20% of all grafts performed in the hospital in recent ye...
