| Abstract Background: Using a manual trephination technique, a diseased cornea is replaced with a healthy one in a process referred to as conventional Penetrating Keratoplasty (PKP). Healthy cornea can be obtained from a donated human cornea, which is usually obtained from an eye bank. Keratoplasty is a promising visual rehabilitation for end stage corneal cases. Purpose: to evaluate clinical outcomes after conventional PKP within 12 months postoperatively. Patients and Methods: Prospective study including 12 cases of conventional PKP. Six and twelve months after surgery, patients had slit lamp and fundus examinations, uncorrected and best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) tests, postoperative refraction and spherical equivalent evaluations.Results: The mean BCVA was 0.05(0.1) at 6 months and 0.3(0.2) at 12 months, with 12 months having a significantly higher value (p = 0.004). Manifest astigmatism is quite higher at 12 m than at 6 m.Conclusion: Clinical results, such as BCVA have significantly improved after conventional PKP. | ||
