Infectious keratitis after penetrating keratoplasty (PK) is a devastating condition that may result in graft failure and poor visual outcome. In this study, we retrospectively reviewed the medical records of patients who underwent PK between 2009 and 2014, and recorded those who developed infectious keratitis. We compared the predisposing factors and organisms isolated to those identified in ou...

Purpose. To report the visual outcome of penetrating keratoplasty performed on the sympathizing eye in three cases of sympathetic ophthalmitis. Methods. Interventional case series of three patients, diagnosed with sympathetic ophthalmitis, with corneal changes in the form of band keratopathy and decompensation underwent penetrating keratoplasty to the sympathizing eye. They had each sustained p...

PURPOSE To evaluate the clinical outcome in 29 patients (29 eyes) who underwent penetrating keratoplasty and scleral-fixation of an intraocular lens. METHODS The indications for penetrating keratoplasty with scleral-fixation of an intraocular lens were anterior chamber pseudophakic corneal edema, aphakic corneal edema, trauma, and corneal scars. Patients with pseudophakic corneal edema underw...

BACKGROUND In this paper, we report our experience of the clinical features of single and repeated globe rupture after penetrating keratoplasty. METHODS We undertook a retrospective analysis of single and repeated globe ruptures following keratoplasty in eight eyes from seven consecutive patients referred to Kanazawa University Hospital over a 10-year period from January 2002 to March 2012. W...

Report on a successful clinical case of a corneal penetrating keratoplasty using inadvertently a corneal graft that had undergone laser assisted in situ keratomileusis (LASIK). Review of a clinical case of a patient of the Cornea Department of the "Hospital Oftalmológico de Sorocaba" who underwent a penetrating keratoplasty (PK) to correct keratoconus in his left eye. A corneal graft from a don...

Purpose To compare the corneal clarity measurement between penetrating keratoplasty (PK) and deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty (DALK) in patients with keratoconus, using densitometry software for the Oculus Pentacam. Methods A retrospective comparative study was carried out at Manchester Royal Eye Hospital. Data were collected 12-18 months after corneal transplantation for keratoconus, incl...

OBJECTIVE To compare the 3-year incidence of de novo ocular hypertension (OHT) after Descemet stripping automated endothelial keratoplasty (DSAEK) and penetrating keratoplasty (PK). For DSAEK, to evaluate predictors for OHT and 2-year outcomes after OHT development. METHODS This was a review of the prospective Singapore Corneal Transplant Study at a single tertiary referral center. Consecutiv...
