Abstract
165 Keratoconus is a non-inflammatory ectatic disease. The prevalence of keratoconus varies with location, population, ethnicity, environmental factors and diagnostic criteria1,2. Penetrating keratoplasty (PK) is the most common type of corneal transplant3. Approximately 20% of normal-risk corneal transplants experience an episode of acute rejection4. Management of keratoconus varies with disease severity. Topical steroids are effective in the prophylaxis against immune reactions observed after PK5.
