A study to evaluate the keratoanalyzer in success of penetrating kertoplasty
Journal Title: Indian Journal of Clinical and Experimental Ophthalmology - Year 2018, Vol 4, Issue 4
Abstract
Aims To evaluate donor cornea by using eye bank specular microscope and evaluate outcome of keratolplasty according to the graft conditionMaterials and Methods This was a prospective study of 30 patients who undergone keratoplasty Donor cornea was evaluated by slit lamp biomicroscopy and after preservation in MK media evaluated using eye bank specular microscope Final decision of transplantation was made on grading of specular microscopy All patients undergone penetrating keratoplasty and postoperative outcome was measuredResults In our study majority of donors were in age group of 2140 years Endothelial cell count of 3000 cellsmm2 was observed in 60 cases while 25003000 cellsmm2 in 2667 cases The reason for penetrating keratoplasty were corneal opacity or scarring 40 PBK 2333 acute infective keratitis 1333 regraft due to graft failure 10 ABK 10 and corneal dystrophy 333 Postoperative clear graft was seen in 60 cases while cloudy in 20 and opaque in 20 cases It was observed that large number of recipients 4666 had postoperative visual acuity more than 660Conclusions Though tissue utilization can be optimized with the use of eye bank specular analyzer final outcome depends on multiple factors Few tissues of older age can be utilized if having good endothelial countKeywords Corneal blindness Eye bank specular analyzer Keratoplasty
