This study demonstrated a poor outcome from penetrating keratoplasty for CHED in Irish patients due to dense amblyopia and a high risk of graft failure.The information available about emergency corneal graft surgery is limited. In this study, 6 years of data were analysed from UK Blood & Tissue transplant. Emergency corneal graft surgery, although less successful than routine corneal graft surgery, was observed to be a successful eye and sight saving operation.By using femtosecond laser assisted lamellar keratectomy with phototherapeutic keratectomy, the authors report that vision could be improved through reducing corneal irregularity and high order aberration in anterior corneal stromal dystrophy without recurrence for up to 9.5 years.Most patients who received a corneal transplant for keratoconus or Fuchs endothelial dystrophy in the United Kingdom … ER -
