Abstract
Sixteen penetrating keratoplasties were performed in 14 patients less than 16 years old. Clear corneas were obtained in 62.5% of eyes with significantly improved vision in 56.2% of cases. The problems of postoperative treatments, complications, and amblyopia were found to be manageable. The visual benefits of corneal transplantation in selected cases in children appear to outweigh the difficulties and problems engendered by this procedure.Entities:
