Abstract

Evaluate a sample of patients who underwent surgical treatment for corneal perforation in brittle cornea by Penetrating keratoplasty and patch graft. In this study, 466 patients experiencing corneal perforation (CP) in brittle corneas that underwent surgery were retrospectively reviewed. They were divided into two categories. Category A: Patients received Penetrating keratoplasty (n= 232). Category B: Patients received patch graft (n=234) Following surgery, patients were evaluated on days one, seven, four, six, and 12 weeks. There was significant improvement in best corrected visual acuity (BCVA), uncorrected visual acuity (UCVA) in both Penetrating keratoplasty and Patch graft procedure for management of corneal perforation in brittle eyes. However, complications were lesser in patch graft method.
