Recurrence of granular corneal dystrophy type 1 after phototherapeutic keratectomy, lamellar keratoplasty, and penetrating keratoplasty in a single population
Cornea Sep 16, 2017
Lewis DR, et al. - A retrospective review is performed to depict the recurrence of granular corneal dystrophy type 1 (GCD1) after penetrating keratoplasty (PKP), anterior lamellar keratoplasty (ALK), deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty (DALK), and phototherapeutic keratectomy (PTK) in a single population. This series demonstrates that GCD1 recurrence-free survival is longest after PKP with a related delay in attaining best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA). Conversely, PTK provided the fastest visual recovery with shorter recurrence-free survival.
