Keratoplasty sensitivity.

M Ruben, E Colebrook

    The British Journal of Ophthalmology
    |April 1, 1979

    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Graft sensitivity recovery is slow, with only one-third of eyes returning to normal after three years. Contact lens wearers experienced reduced sensitivity compared to spectacle wearers.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Corneal Grafting
    • Neuroscience

    Background:

    • Corneal graft sensitivity is crucial for ocular surface health and function.
    • Understanding nerve regeneration post-transplantation is vital for improving patient outcomes.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To analyze the long-term recovery of corneal graft sensitivity.
    • To investigate factors influencing sensitivity restoration, such as nerve fiber regeneration and contact lens wear.

    Main Methods:

    • Graft sensitivity was assessed over a three-year period.
    • Comparison of sensitivity between contact lens wearers and spectacle wearers was performed.

    Main Results:

    • Only one-third of eyes showed a return to normal graft sensitivity after three years.

  • Contact lens wearers exhibited significantly less sensitivity compared to spectacle wearers.
  • The underlying cause for incomplete nerve regeneration remains undetermined.

    • Conclusions:

    • Corneal graft sensitivity recovery is prolonged and incomplete in a significant portion of patients.
    • Contact lens wear may negatively impact corneal nerve sensitivity post-grafting.
    • Further research is needed to elucidate the mechanisms of nerve fiber regeneration.
