title: Corneal regrafts.
abstract: Report on the clarity of 45 corneal regrafts with a minimum follow-up time of 1 year. The results of regrafts in keratoconus are good. In herpetic disease with corneal vascularization and frequent secondary glaucoma the results are poor. In patients with failed grafts for corneal dystrophies or degenerations the regrafts can be beneficial.
