    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Corneal Surgery
    • Infectious Eye Diseases

    Background:

    • Suppurative keratitis poses a significant threat to vision.
    • Prompt and effective treatment is crucial for managing this severe corneal infection.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the efficacy of keratoplasty in treating suppurative keratitis.
    • To assess visual outcomes and graft survival rates following corneal transplantation for infectious keratitis.

    Main Methods:

    • A cohort of thirteen patients with suppurative keratitis underwent keratoplasty.
    • Outcomes including symptom resolution, visual function restoration, graft clarity, and intraocular pressure were monitored.

    Main Results:

    • All patients experienced rapid improvement in clinical signs and symptoms post-keratoplasty.

    Related Experiment Videos

  • Eight out of thirteen patients achieved restoration of at least previous visual function.
  • Complications included graft opacification in three eyes and partial opacification in one; one patient developed secondary glaucoma.

    • Conclusions:

    • Keratoplasty demonstrates considerable therapeutic value in managing suppurative keratitis.
    • The procedure offers a viable option for restoring vision and function in severe corneal infections.
