[]
To
study
the
indications
of
penetrating
keratoplasty
in
Southern
India
.
Retrospective
study
.
Retrospective
evaluation
of
eye
bank
records
from
December
,
2002
to
December
,
2012
with
respect
to
indications
for
penetrating
keratoplasty
.
During
the
period
considered
for
study
,
102
penetrating
keratoplasties
were
performed
.
The
leading
indications
for
penetrating
keratoplasty
were
corneal
scarring
(
60
.
7
%
)
,
followed
by
regrafting
(

.
7
%
)
,
spheroidal
degeneration
(

8
%
)
,
aphakic
bullous
keratopathy
(

88

)
,
pseudophakic
bullous

(

,
acute
infectious
keratitis
(

.
94
%
)
,
corneal
dystrophy
and
keratoconus
(

.
9
%
)
.
Healed
infectious
keratitis
(
72
.
88
%
)
was
the
most
common
subcategory
among
the
eyes
with
corneal
scarring
followed
by
traumatic
corneal
scars
(
16
.
12
%
)
.
Corneal
scarring
from
healed
infectious
keratitis
are
the
most
common
indication
for
keratoplasty
in
