Transplantation of congenitally opaque corneas from eyes with exaggerated buphthalmos.
We treated three eyes with marked buphthalmos and congenitally opaque corneas with cyclocryotherapy, one application in one eye and two applications in two eyes. The size of the eyes became rapidly smaller during the first two weeks postoperatively. Thereafter, corneal transplantation improved vision in each eye.
