Article Synopsis
- This study evaluates the risk factors and management strategies for corneal plaques that can develop after keratoplasty surgeries conducted between January 2014 and January 2022.
- Thirteen eyes were analyzed, revealing that pre-existing ocular conditions, particularly surface disorders and autoimmune issues, contribute significantly to plaque formation, with surgical excision and amniotic membrane transplantation being common treatments.
- Results indicated a high recurrence rate after treatment and showed that most plaques were primarily made up of ammonium magnesium phosphate and calcium phosphate carbonate, suggesting that regrafting may be necessary for restoring clarity in cases where other treatments fail.
