Corneal transplantation (keratoplasty) outcomes can be poor due to immune rejection. Research is advancing predictive tools and therapies to improve high-risk corneal graft survival.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Immunology
  • Transplantation Science

Background:

  • Corneal transplantation (keratoplasty) is often considered successful due to immune privilege.
  • However, significant rates of rejection and graft failure occur, comparable to solid organ transplants.
  • The immunological basis for these failures, especially in high-risk cases, requires further elucidation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review current clinical and basic science insights into high-risk keratoplasty.
  • To identify factors contributing to corneal graft failure and their immunological underpinnings.
  • To highlight research priorities for enhancing long-term corneal allograft survival.

Main Methods:

  • Review of recent clinical and basic science literature on corneal transplantation.

  • Analysis of factors associated with corneal graft failure.
  • Discussion of immunological mechanisms in corneal allograft rejection.

    • Main Results:

    • Identified risk factors for corneal transplant failure, with unclear contribution from immune-mediated rejection.
    • Highlighted the need for improved predictive risk scores and assays.
    • Emphasized the potential of multicenter trials and novel immunomodulatory/regenerative therapies.

    Conclusions:

    • Further research into predictive tools, optimized immunosuppression, and novel therapies is crucial for high-risk corneal transplants.
    • Understanding the immunology of rejection is key to improving graft survival.
    • More knowledge is needed on outcomes for infection-related corneal diseases, particularly in developing nations.
