Abstract

Penetrating autokeratoplasty for optical has seldom been reported in recent literature. The patien presented here is a male, aged 31, farmer, who had a dense extensive corneal scar in his right eye. Keratoplasty, 6.5mm in disc diameter. 8 edge-to-edge direct sutures, postoperative beta-radiation, had been performed eventlessly on July 15. 1964 and postoperative reaction was minimum. The visual acuity improved from counting finger 30cm to 0.1 of Landolt's broken ring chart after 4 months of follow up observation. Minimum postoperative complication makes authors postulate autoplasty is relatively safe procedure.
