Abstract:
Penetrating keratoplasty is difficult to perform, especially for the beginning ophthalmologist or corneal surgeon. This investigation describes, step by step, a simplified technique of performing experimental keratoplasty on rabbit eyes. Use of this method resulted in 20 of 24 (83%) rabbit eyes maintaining technically successful clear grafts without anterior synechiae or angle-closure glaucoma for up to 3 months postoperatively.
