“…A similar observation was made by Ardjomand et al, who found a significantly better success rate in those patients who received grafts stored for more than 5 days than in patients who received grafts stored for less than 6 days [1]. One possible explanation for this phenomenon is the observation that storage of corneas leads to loss of corneal Langerhans cells [2,22], even though -in an experimental mouse model -storage of corneas in a tissue culture did not cause a loss of the ability to sensitize multiple minor H-disparate hosts [11].…”

The incidence of episodes of corneal endothelial allograft rejection following normal-risk keratoplasty was 13.5% within the first two postoperative years. However, the frequency of irreversible immunologic graft failure (3 per thousand) was lower than reported in the literature. Patients should be regularly followed up for at least 18 months postoperatively. Patients with underlying atopic dermatitis or dry eyes should receive special ophthalmological care.
