Corneal Transplantation and Glaucoma
Seminars in Ophthalmology, 2014Glaucoma is the leading cause of irreversible vision loss post-keratoplasty and an important cause of graft failure. With newer techniques, such as lamellar, endothelial, and laser-assisted keratoplasty as well as keratoprosthesis gaining popularity, clinicians will need to consider the incidence, risks, evaluation, and management of glaucoma for each ...

Targeted corneal transplantation
Current Opinion in Ophthalmology, 2012Corneal transplantation surgery has moved from an era of conventional penetrating keratoplasty to selective replacement of the diseased corneal layer with complementary healthy donor corneal tissue. Anterior lamellar transplantation surgeries do not involve replacement of corneal endothelium, consequently eliminating the occurrence of endothelial ...

Pharmacotherapy of corneal transplantation
Expert Opinion on Pharmacotherapy, 2012Corneal transplantation is a surgical procedure in which damaged or diseased cornea is replaced by cadaveric corneal tissue. It is the most common form of solid-tissue transplantation in humans but its pharmacotherapy (in relation to graft rejection) has changed little for several decades.

Journal of Perioperative Practice, 2009
Corneal disease is one of the major causes of blindness worldwide. Removal of the damaged cornea and transplant of donated tissue is often the only option available to patients to improve and restore vision. This paper discusses corneal transplant with consideration given to penetrating keratoplasty (PK), a traditional full thickness corneal ...

Lamellar Corneal Transplantation
Survey of Ophthalmology, 2012Penetrating keratoplasty (PK) has been the gold standard for the surgical treatment of most corneal pathologies; lamellar keratoplasty that only replaces the diseased corneal layers has recently evolved as an alternative, however. Innovations in surgical technique and instrumentation provide visual outcomes comparable to PK.

Pediatric keratoplasty poses unique challenges in clinical and surgical management. However, successful transplantation can afford a child vision in an otherwise poorly seeing eye. This review will provide an update on recent advances in pediatric keratoplasty.Although children who receive corneal transplants remain at increased risk of rejection ...

Corneal transplantation is the most common form of organ transplantation worldwide. Transplant survival depends on various factors, many of which are not fully understood. Due to the existence of many genetically defined strains, mouse models of corneal transplantation are most commonly used.

Corneal Transplantation in an Infant with Corneal Dermoid
American Journal of Ophthalmology, 1982A 1-month-old infant had a protuberant congenital corneal dermoid that extended into the anterior chamber. The dermoid was excised in two stages. A 12-mm lamellar keratectomy was followed three months later by a smaller (8-mm) penetrating keratoplasty.

Corneal Transplant Allograft Reactions in Unilateral, Double Corneal Transplants
Cornea, 1985In support of the idea that the HLA system plays a major role in corneal graft rejection, we report these two unique cases. Both had two penetrating grafts in the same eye. One was a regular graft and the second a patch graft to repair a perforation in the initial one.
