Preoperative Structural Risk Factors for Glaucoma After Penetrating Keratoplasty for Congenital Corneal Opacity: An Observational Study.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Post-keratoplasty glaucoma (PKG) is a major complication following penetrating keratoplasty (PKP) for congenital corneal opacity (CCO). This study aims to assess the preoperative structural risk factors for PKG following PKP for CCO using ultrasound biomicroscopy (UBM).

Methods

Pediatric patients with CCO who underwent preoperative UBM and primary PKP were enrolled. Patients with anterior segment operation history or with a follow-up duration less than 12 months were excluded. The structural features of the anterior segment including central corneal thickness, anterior chamber depth, angle closure range (ACR), anterior synechia range, maximum iridocorneal adhesion length, abnormal iridocorneal synechia, and lens anomalies were identified on UBM images.
