Main outcome measures mean change visual acuity (VA) percentage who gained 10 or more letters from...

A 72-year-old man with type II diabetes mellitus presented sudden painless vision loss and an inferior visual field defect in his right eye. He had previously tested positive for COVID-19 disease the symptoms starting 13 days before onset of loss. His decimal acuity, 55 after symptoms, was 0.3 this decreased over following week to counting fingers. 24-2 analysis revealed altitudinal defect. Dilated fundus examination mild optic disc swelling The left eye normal. diagnosed non-artertic...

Purpose: To investigate the impact of donor and recipient factors on graft survival in penetrating keratoplasty (PK).Material Methods: This retrospective study included 365 eyes that underwent PK using corneas from 231 donors between June 2010 2015.
