Abstract:Corneal endothelial cell loss and complications are comparable between eyes with endothelial decompensation after RPK and those after PPK, although VA is worse in eyes after RPK. The outcomes after a first RPK did not differ from those after multiple RPKs.
These results demonstrate favorable outcomes of KPro surgery for donor corneal graft failure with a greater likelihood of maintaining visual improvement without higher risk of postoperative glaucoma compared with repeat donor PK.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
