Risk factors for recurrence of Mooren's ulcer after keratoplasty
MU mostly occurs in elderly men, often with monocular onset. The recurrence rate after keratoplasty is high at 37.3 %. Deep ulcer infiltration, corneal perforation, and a history of ocular surgery or trauma are associated with recurrence after keratoplasty. A scoring system has been established based on these clinical characteristics and can be used to predict the risk of recurrence after keratoplasty.
