Glaucoma after corneal transplantation is a leading cause of ocular morbidity after penetrating keratoplasty. The incidence reported is highly variable and a number of etiologic factors have been identified. A number of treatment options are available; surgical intervention for IOP control is associated with a high incidence of graft failure. IOP elevation is less frequently seen following deep...

purpose: to investigate the incidence, mechanisms, characteristics, and visual outcomes of traumatic wound dehiscence following keratoplasty. methods: medical records of 32 consecutive patients with traumatic globe rupture following keratoplasty who had been treated at our center from 2001 to 2009 were retrospectively reviewed. results: the study population consisted of 32 eyes of 32 patients i...

This review discusses current techniques of corneal transplantation for moderate to advanced keratoconus. The aim of this article is to provide primary eye care practitioners with an overview of two current corneal transplantation modalities, namely penetrating and deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty. The main surgical techniques, the outcome of the procedures, common complications and the prog...

Chronic graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) is a common complication following allogeneic hematopoietic stem-cell transplantation (alloHSCT), frequently involving the ocular system. Topical or systemic use of corticosteroid is occasionally beneficial; however, there has been cases to progress to corneal perforation. We will report a case of a patient who developed corneal perforation in the course...

The concept of lamellar keratoplasty (LK) is that of targeted lamellar replacement of corneal tissue while retaining normal cornea. It involves replacing anterior stroma at different deepness with an anterior lamellar keratoplasty (ALK). Despite the significant advantages of LK surgery, penetrating keratoplasty (PK) remains the most common procedure, largely because lamellar surgery is more tec...
