Summary

Corneal implants (keratoplasty) showed good short-term results for nodular degeneration. Long-term outcomes revealed potential precursors to Salzmann

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Corneal Surgery
  • Histopathology

Background:

  • Nodular degeneration of the cornea necessitates keratoplasty for visual restoration.
  • Understanding long-term outcomes of corneal implants is crucial for patient management.

Observation:

  • Three keratoplasties were performed on two patients with nodular corneal degeneration.
  • Follow-up periods ranged from 17 months to 9 years.

Findings:

  • Short-term follow-up (17 months) showed clear corneal implants.
  • Long-term follow-up revealed a late epithelial immune response and superficial opacity in one eye (2.5 years).
  • Another eye showed dense, superficial opacities after 9 years, potentially precursors to Salzmann's degeneration.

Implications:

  • Corneal implants demonstrate favorable short-term clarity in nodular degeneration.
  • Long-term monitoring is essential to detect late complications like immune responses and opacities.
  • Findings suggest potential links between post-keratoplasty changes and Salzmann's corneal degeneration.
