Evaluation of Posterior Wound Profile After Penetrating Keratoplasty Using Anterior Segment Optical Coherence Tomography
Purpose: To study the wound configuration after penetrating keratoplasty (PKP) using anterior segment optical coherence tomography.
Methods: All post-PKP patients who were examined at the Cornea Services of the Royal Victorian Eye and Ear Hospital, Melbourne, between February and November 2008, were enrolled in the study. The wound profile was studied using anterior segment optical coherence tomography.
Results: A total of 159 graft-host sections from 29 eyes (24 patients, mean age 57 ± 20 years) were analyzed. Cases with remaining sutures were excluded from the study. The majority of patients included were operated for keratoconus (16 eyes, 55%) followed by endothelial ...
