Comparison of corneal thickness, visual acuity, and cell counts at 12 months postoperatively by difference between full thickness grafts and cryolathed grafts
Full thickness | Cryolathed | p Value | |
---|---|---|---|
Pachymeter (μm) | |||
Pre-op | 540 (95) (n=54) | 548 (97) (n=46) | 0.658 |
Post-op | 592 (57) (n=33) | 453 (90) (n=27) | 0.000 |
12 months postop | |||
Cells (/mm2) | 1873 (678) (n=35) | 2119 (728) (n=31) | 0.166 |
VA | 0.5 (n=35) | 0.5 (n=42) |
Cells = endothelial cell counts.
