Incidence, risk factors and treatment outcomes of intraocular hypertension and/or glaucoma post-penetrating keratoplasty: A 5-year Lebanese retrospective descriptive study

Clinical Ophthalmology Aug 28, 2020

Chanbour W, Ayoub MH, Towair E, et al. - In this 5-year descriptive retrospective study, researchers reported the incidence, risk factors, and treatment outcomes of intraocular hypertension (IOH) or/and glaucoma post-penetrating keratoplasty (PKG). Between 2012 and 2017, Lebanese patients who underwent PK at Beirut Eye & ENT Specialist Hospital were involved. Patients with a history of glaucoma have been excluded. In total, 189 eyes of 159 patients were involved, with male/female ratio 1.6 and the mean age 47.2 ± 21.3 years. According to findings, IOH developed in one out of three patients who had penetrating keratoplasty. DM, bullous keratopathy, infectious keratitis and redo-PK were highly related to PKG, while high IOP was less likely to develop in cases with keratoconus. Glaucoma is considered to be a poor prognostic factor in patients post-PK.
