Complications After Pediatric Penetrating Keratoplasty: An IRIS Registry Study

More complications occurred in the anterior segment (70%) of the eye as compared with the posterior segment (30%). These findings demonstrate the challenges associated with pediatric PK and may help guide postoperative monitoring and management.
