Conjunctival Impression Cytology and Tear-Film Changes in Patients with Psoriasis

Abstract

Traumatic wound dehiscence is not rare after PK. The elderly corneal transplant patient may be more prone to such an injury. Corneal rupture at the graft-host junction in all of our cases means the persistence of wound weakness after PK. Although graft survival and visual outcome are generally poor after the injury, the restoration of a satisfactory visual result is possible after regrafting, insofar as the involved eye is free of intractable glaucoma or posterior segment damage.
