Risk factors and evaluation of keratoconus progression after penetrating keratoplasty with anterior segment optical coherence tomography

Abstract To determine the risk factors and unique characteristics of keratoconus (KC) progression after penetrating keratoplasty (PK), anterior segment optical coherence tomography parameters were statistically analyzed in comparison with eyes undergoing PK for other diseases as a control. Ninety-on...
