Glaucoma in keratoplasty.

F M Polack

    Cornea
    |January 1, 1988

    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Penetrating keratoplasty outcomes reveal varied intraocular pressure risks. Aphakic and pseudophakic eyes showed higher rates of early and persistent glaucoma after corneal transplant surgery.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Corneal Surgery
    • Glaucoma Research

    Background:

    • Penetrating keratoplasty is a common corneal transplant procedure.
    • Intraocular pressure (IOP) management is crucial post-keratoplasty.
    • Glaucoma is a potential complication affecting visual outcomes.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To analyze intraocular pressure findings in patients undergoing penetrating keratoplasty.
    • To identify risk factors for elevated IOP and glaucoma development after corneal transplantation.
    • To compare IOP profiles across different patient groups undergoing keratoplasty.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of 676 eyes undergoing penetrating keratoplasty.
    • Categorization into four groups: keratoconus, Fuchs' dystrophy/cataract (triple procedure), aphakic, and pseudophakic eyes.

  • Monitoring of intraocular pressure and glaucoma incidence pre- and post-surgery.

    • Main Results:

    • No glaucoma cases observed in the keratoconus group.
    • Mild, early IOP elevation in a few triple procedure cases.
    • Significant early glaucoma incidence in 30% of aphakic eyes and 52% of pseudophakic eyes.
    • Persistent glaucoma affected 20% of aphakic and 25% of pseudophakic eyes.

    Conclusions:

    • Aphakic and pseudophakic eyes are at higher risk for developing glaucoma after penetrating keratoplasty.
    • Corneal transplant patients, particularly those who are aphakic or pseudophakic, require vigilant IOP monitoring.
    • Early detection and management of glaucoma are essential for preserving vision in post-keratoplasty patients.
