THREE UNUSUAL CORNEAL GRAFTS

Abstract

At a recent hospital demonstration of corneal graft cases three examples, which are described below, evoked special interest. Case 1, Contralateral Corneal Autoplasty.-There are two types of case in which the patient supplies his own donor corneal graft, i.e. an autograft. One type may be termed ipsilateral autoplasty when the graft is provided by the cornea which itself is to be grafted, and the other, contralateral autoplasty, when the graft comes from the other cornea of the same patient.
