[Keratoplasty in infants and children (author's transl)].
In infants, keratoplasty is only performed in cases of bilateral, congenital, total corneal opacity. Results are very poor. Only one out of 16 grafts remained clear. From the age of about five or six years the results depend on the condition of the eye, as is the case in adults.
