摘要

Corneal allografts are the most commonly transplanted tissue worldwide; according to the Eye Bank Association of America (EBAA), member eye banks in the United States provided 38,413 corneas for penetrating keratoplasty (PKP) in 2016.1 Given the corneal histological characteristics of being immune-privileged, it’s not surprising that corneal keratoplasty studies often report good long-term prognosis, with high graft survival rates.2,3 This procedure is performed mainly for corneal diseases of degenerative, dystrophic, infectious, or inflammatory origin as well as for corneal damages sustained from ocular surface disease.4 Specifically, keratoconus, pseudophakic bullous keratopathy, Fuchs’ dystrophy, corneal scarring, and aphakic bullous keratopathy remain the primary indications for PKP in the United States.
