title: [Keratoplasty. Progress and distant goals].
abstract: Rapid practical progress in perforating keratoplasty has been achieved in the prophylaxis and therapy of immune reactions and herpes recurrences, as well as in intraocular lenses and eye banks. In other areas like normal transplant optics, normally surviving transplant endothelium and epithelium, the recurrence of epithelial dystrophies and the functional equivalence of lamellar transplants, progress has been limited and will presumably be slow despite all efforts.
