Methods:
32 patients with keratonosus treated by corneal transplantation were clinically observed.
Results:
In 32 keratonosus cases, 59.37% (19 cases) of the grafts remained transparant; in 24 corneal ulcer preforation cases, 45.83% (11 cases) of the grafts were transparent, all eyeballs(100%) were remained.
Conclusion:
Corneal cryopreservation can be a practical, effective method in the treatment of keratonosus in district hospitals.
