RESUMO

A group of successful keratonic grafts (51 eyes) up to 10 years from operation were examined to establish a relationship between graft thickness and acuity. Best acuity occurred in the grafts of normal corneal thickness. No grafts were thinner than normal; thus no tendency to keratonic thinning occurred. No relationship between age of graft and thickness was determined. Endothelial cell studies in vivo of a small number of grafts showed that cell counts a third of normal coexisted with normal acuity and corneal thickness.
