Penetrating keratoplasty: a computer analysis.
A computer analysis of 87 penetrating kertoplasties done in a uniform manner by a single surgeon revealed the following: 1. On a statistical basis small grafts (7.0 mm) provided better visual acuity than larger grafts (8.0 mm). 2. On a statistical basis small grafts will be clearer postoperatively than larger grafts. 3. On a statistical basis the age of the donor is not related to either graft clarity or visual acuity.
