Abstract
Objective
To evaluate the efficacy of deep lamellar keratoplasty for the treatment of stromal corneal dystrophy.
Methods
The data of 59 eyes of 49 patients with stromal corneal dystrophy in this hospital from Jan.2012 to Dec.2018 were analyzed retrospectively.All cases were treated with deep lamellar keratoplasty.The follow-up time was 6 months-4 years.The corneal graft and the complications of intra-operation and post-operation were observed.
Results
The corneal graft remained clear in all cases after surgery. The best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) postoperatively was 0.3 in 8 eyes, 0.4-0.6 in 40 eyes, 0.6-0.8 in 11 eyes. Intraoperative complications included perforation of descemet’s membrane in 5 eyes, postoperative temporary elevation of intraocular pressure in 4 eyes, descemet’s membrane striae in 6 cases and recurrence of primary disease in 3 eyes. No reject reaction occurred after keratoplasty.
Conclusion
Deep lamellar keratoplasty is a safe and effective method for the treatment of stromal corneal dystrophy.
