Corneal Transplantation in Bristol, 1970-80

چکیده
are: improvements in microsurgical technique; advances in drug therapy including antivirals, and in particular anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive drugs; improved diagnosis and case selection aided by tissue typing of the potential recipient who has a vascularised cornea. The use of eye banks is commonplace in America3, but in this country fresh donor material is used, usually within 24 hours of the death of the donor. A review has been undertaken of all corneal grafts carried out in the Bristol Eye Hospital (BEH) during the years 1970-80. The results obtained in the first and second five year periods are compared, and discussed.
