title: Early visual rehabilitation after keratoplasty: a double running suture technique.
abstract: A series of keratoplasties was performed using 2 running nylon sutures of unequal size, 23 micrometer (10-0) and 16 micrometer. Visual acuities were assessed within 6 months of surgery and following removal of the 10-0 suture at 2 months. Thirty percent of aphakic and 80% of phakic had acuities of 20/70 or better.
