Objective:
To explore the clinical safety and efficacy of deep lamellar keratoplasty for corneal macula after viral keratitis.
Methods:
A total of 16 patients (16 eyes) of corneal macula after viral keratitis at our center from January 2009 to June 2011 received anti-virus eye-drops and then underwent deep lamellar keratoplasty when inflammation were dissolved or quiescent. And the corneal graft diaphaneity and corneal graft rejection reactions were observed.
Results:
All 16 patients were recovered with a success rate of 100%. After a follow-up of 18-24 months, all corneal grafts were transparent and best-corrected visual acuity was 0.2-0.6. There was no reoccurrence during the follow-up period. After a follow-up of several months, 2 of them had rejection reaction and were controlled after treatment. No rejection reaction occurred during the long-term follow-up.
Conclusion:
As a safe and efficacious procedure, deep lamellar keratoplasty can significantly raise vision acuity with few complications.
