Pocklington Transplantation Unit & Corneal Clinic, Moorfields Eye Hospital, London.
Penetrating keratoplasty was performed as an emergency procedure in 52 eyes which had perforated from acute microbial keratitis and in a further 11 where perforation had not yet occurred. The results are compared with those of keratoplasty in 33 non-infected perforations and 20 eyes where there had been microbial keratitis which had responded to medical therapy leaving a scarred cornea. This latter group had both a better five year survival (90%) compared to all the others (51%), p less than 0.05, and achieved significantly better visual acuities, p less than 0.005.
