Keratoconus, a corneal ectasia, can recur after penetrating keratoplasty. This study details two new cases of recurrent keratoconus, highlighting the need for continued monitoring post-surgery.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Keratoconus is a progressive corneal ectasia affecting vision, with onset typically at puberty.
  • It leads to irregular myopic astigmatism, necessitating treatment ranging from contact lenses to surgical interventions like penetrating keratoplasty.

Observation:

  • Penetrating keratoplasty demonstrates high success rates (>90%) for advanced keratoconus.
  • Recurrence of keratoconus post-penetrating keratoplasty has been documented clinically and histopathologically.

Findings:

  • This report presents the clinicopathologic features of two additional cases of recurrent keratoconus after penetrating keratoplasty.

Implications:

  • These findings underscore the possibility of keratoconus recurrence even after successful corneal transplantation.

  • Further research into the mechanisms and risk factors for post-keratoplasty recurrence is warranted.
