Summary

This summary is machine-generated.

Corneal regrafts show good outcomes for keratoconus but poor results for herpetic disease. Regrafts can benefit patients with failed grafts due to corneal dystrophies or degenerations.

Background:

Corneal transplantation is a common procedure.
Regrafting, or repeat corneal transplantation, presents unique challenges.
Understanding outcomes for regrafts is crucial for patient selection and counseling.

Purpose of the Study:

To evaluate the clarity and outcomes of corneal regrafts.
To identify factors influencing the success of corneal regrafts.
To provide evidence-based recommendations for corneal regrafting.

Main Methods:

Retrospective analysis of 45 corneal regrafts.
Minimum follow-up period of 1 year.
Assessment of graft clarity and clinical outcomes.

Main Results:

Good outcomes observed in regrafts for keratoconus.
Poor outcomes noted in cases of herpetic disease with vascularization and glaucoma.
Beneficial results in patients with prior graft failure due to dystrophies or degenerations.

Conclusions:

Corneal regrafting can be successful in specific indications like keratoconus and failed grafts from dystrophies/degenerations.
Herpetic disease with complications poses a significant challenge for regraft success.
Careful patient selection is vital for optimizing corneal regraft outcomes.
