title: [Autologous corneal transplants in recurring herpes corneae (author's transl)].
abstract: This paper reports the results of penetrating corneal autokeratoplasty of a man 49 years of age with chronic herpetic keratitis in his good right eye. The keratoplasty was taken from the patient's left eye with amblyopia. The diameter in both keratoplasties was 7.1 mm. In both eyes clear grafts were obtained. Visual acuity of the right eye improved to 0.5! One year after the autokeratoplasty the grafts remained clear, showed no immune reactions and no tendency towards vascularization.
