PREOPERATIVE DIAGNOSES IN CLEAR GRAFTS AND GRAFTS WITH LATE ENDOTHELIAL FAILURE
| PREOPERATIVE DIAGNOSIS | CLEAR PENETRATING GRAFTS (n=99) | GRAFTS WITH LATE ENDOTHELIAL FAILURE (n=21)* |
|---|---|---|
| Keratoconus | 52 | 13 |
| Fuchs dystrophy | 33 | 5 |
| Pseudophakic corneal edema | 6 | 2 |
| Aphakic corneal edema | 2 | 0 |
| Traumatic scar | 2 | 0 |
| Other | 4† | 1‡ |
*
Quantitative analysis of confocal microscopy images was possible in only 12 eyes (10 eyes with keratoconus, 1 eye with Fuchs dystrophy, and 1 eye with pseudophakic corneal edema).
†
Includes 1 eye each with herpes simplex keratitis, interstitial keratitis, granular dystrophy, and central cloudy dystrophy of François.
‡
Failed graft; original diagnosis was keratoconus.
