Case Report of Penetrating Keratoplasty in Leprosy Patient
Keywords:
Leprosy Patient, Penetrating KeratoplastyAbstract
The purpose of this report was to study about the corneal abnormalities of a leprosy patient after undergo phacoemulsification with intraocular lens implantation. His vision was worse post-operative. He was diagnosed and suggested to undergo the penetrating keratoplasty. The technique of penetrating keratoplasty, post operative care, follow up and treatment was discussed. In this case the graft failure occurred 19 months after the surgery. However, there was no conclusion that what factor was the key of success because this was the first case reported.
