Post-keratoplasty glaucoma affects approximately 30% of corneal grafts. High-risk patients include those with aphakia, previous surgeries, or trauma, requiring careful management of this complication.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Glaucoma Research
  • Corneal Transplantation

Background:

  • Post-keratoplasty glaucoma is a significant complication following corneal transplantation.
  • The incidence of this condition necessitates a thorough understanding of risk factors and management strategies.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the incidence, risk factors, mechanisms, and treatment of post-keratoplasty glaucoma.
  • To identify patient populations at higher risk for developing glaucoma after corneal grafts.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of studies on post-keratoplasty glaucoma.
  • Analysis of incidence rates and identified risk factors.
  • Synthesis of information on glaucoma mechanisms and treatment options.

Main Results:

  • The incidence of post-keratoplasty glaucoma is approximately 30% of all corneal grafts.
  • High-risk factors include aphakia (especially after intracapsular extraction), advanced age, ocular trauma, and repeat corneal grafts.
  • Mechanisms and treatment strategies for post-keratoplasty glaucoma were reviewed.

Conclusions:

  • Post-keratoplasty glaucoma is a common and serious complication.
  • Identifying and monitoring high-risk patients is crucial for timely intervention.
  • Further research into preventative and therapeutic strategies is warranted.
