Quantification of collagen ultrastructure after penetrating keratoplasty - implications for corneal biomechanics.

Quantification of collagen ultrastructure after penetrating keratoplasty - implications for corneal biomechanics.

PURPOSE:To quantify long-term changes in stromal collagen ultrastructure following penetrating keratoplasty (PK), and evaluate their possible implications for corneal biomechanics. METHODS:A pair of 16 mm post-mortem corneo-scleral buttons was obtained from a patient receiving bilateral penetrating...
