Abstract:
Autologous keratoplasty from an amblyopic eye to the fellow oculus ultimus is a rarely used procedure. This is due to the relatively uncommon constellation of pathology. The following article reports the case of a graft rejection after autologous keratoplasty, while the homologous graft on the amblyopic fellow eye remained clear.
