    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Smaller corneal grafts (7.0 mm) improve visual acuity and clarity after penetrating keratoplasty compared to larger grafts (8.0 mm). Donor age did not impact graft outcomes in this study.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Corneal Surgery
    • Transplantation Science

    Background:

    • Penetrating keratoplasty is a common corneal transplant procedure.
    • Graft size and donor age are potential factors influencing outcomes.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the impact of graft size on visual acuity and clarity.
    • To assess the relationship between donor age and graft outcomes.

    Main Methods:

    • Computer analysis of 87 penetrating keratoplasty cases.
    • Uniform surgical technique performed by a single surgeon.

    Main Results:

    • Smaller grafts (7.0 mm) statistically improved visual acuity compared to larger grafts (8.0 mm).
    • Smaller grafts demonstrated statistically better postoperative clarity than larger grafts.

  • Donor age showed no statistical correlation with graft clarity or visual acuity.

    • Conclusions:

    • Optimal graft size for penetrating keratoplasty appears to be smaller (7.0 mm) for better visual and clarity outcomes.
    • Donor age is not a significant predictor of graft success in this cohort.
