| description | The aim of the retrospective study was to analyze results after penetrating keratoplasties in patients with bullous keratopathy. The study included 60 patients with bullous keratopathy who underwent penetrating keratoplasty for the period 1990-2011, at the Eye Clinic of Pleven University Hospital. The average age of patients was 67 years (range 29-84 years). Additional risk factors were registered in 22.67% of the patients. Early postoperative complications occurred in 56.79%. In the early postoperative period, 81.31% of the patients had clear graft and improvement of visual acuity was achieved in 83.77%. In the late postoperative period, the graft failed in 28.95% of the patients. These results suggest that bullous keratopathy is an important complication after cataract surgery, and improvement of vision is possible only with keratoplasty. |
