Corneal transplantation is the most widely practiced form of clinical transplantation. This was made possible by the development of donor handling and preservation techniques, such as cooled culture media and organ-culture systems, that guarantee a sufficient supply of donor tissue.

Corneal transplantation or keratoplasty has developed rapidly in the past 10 years. Penetrating keratoplasty, a procedure consisting of full-thickness replacement of the cornea, has been the dominant procedure for more than half a century, and successfully caters to most causes of corneal blindness. The adoption by specialist surgeons of newer forms of

Corneal ulcers in corneal transplants
Current Eye Research, 1981Twenty-nine eyes, representing an infection rate of 4.9%, developed corneal ulcers following corneal transplant surgery; 26 with available data are presented. All occurred in the graft or at the wound margin. The median postoperative time to ulcer development was 5.5 months. All eyes were on topical steroids when the ulcer developed.

The Immunobiology of Corneal Transplantation
Transplantation, 2007Corneal allotransplantation is highly successful in the short term, but much less successful in the longer term. Many corneal grafts in recipients with corneal neovascularization or the sequelae of ocular inflammation undergo irreversible rejection, despite topical immunosuppression with glucocorticosteroids. Sensitization to cornea-derived alloantigen

Corneal Endothelial Transplantation
Ophthalmology, 1980Patients with visually significant corneal edema, secondary to endothelial dysfunction, before the development of scaring or vascularization, need only have the corneal endothelium replaced to restore corneal clarity. This fact, plus the lack of consistently available donor material, prompted us to evaluate tissue cultured corneal endothelim (TCCE) as ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
