Clinical outcomes of patients with non-inflammatory conditions undergoing anterior lamellar or full-thickness keratoplasty using gamma-irradiated corneal lenticules

Patient	Indication for surgery	Type of surgery	Preoperative		Last follow-up after surgery		Follow-up duration (months)	Clinical outcome
Patient	Indication for surgery	Type of surgery	UCVA	BSCVA	UCVA	BSCVA	Follow-up duration (months)	Clinical outcome
1	Macular dystrophy	DALK	20/200	20/80	20/120	20/40	24	Clear graft, epithelialised.
2	Granular dystrophy	DALK	20/120	20/40	20/200	20/60*	12	Clear graft, epithelialised.
3	Keratoconus	DALK	20/240	20/60	20/40	20/20	12	Clear graft, epithelialised.
4	Keratoconus	DALK	20/1200	20/120	20/40	20/30	24	Clear graft, epithelialised.
5	Macular dystrophy	DALK	20/120	20/40	20/30	20/20	24	Clear graft, epithelialised.
6	Keratoconus	DALK	20/1200	20/120	20/40	20/20	12	Clear graft, epithelialised.
7	Multiple failed PKs	KPro	CF	CF	20/150	20/70†	39	Initially clear graft and epithelialised, developed infectious endophthalmitis 7 months after surgery. Underwent subsequent tectonic PK which failed within 1 year.
8	Limbal dermoid	ALK	20/30	20/30	20/30	20/30	12	Clear graft, epithelialised.
9	Multiple failed PKs	KPro	CF	20/200	20/30	20/30†	84	Initially clear graft and epithelialised, developed infectious endophthalmitis 4 months after surgery. Underwent subsequent tectonic PK which failed within 1 month, then repeat KPro which remained intact throughout follow-up.

*Patient 2 had a recurrent presumed herpetic keratitis at month 6 and noted to have cataract at month 12.

†Visual acuity reported is from the last follow-up visit after surgery but before onset of infection.

ALK, anterior lamellar keratoplasty; BSCVA, best spectacle-corrected visual acuity; CF, count fingers; DALK, deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty; KPro, Boston type 1 keratoprosthesis; PK, penetrating keratoplasty; UCVA, uncorrected visual acuity.
