Five Year Review of All Examined Corneal Tissue in a Tertiary Eye Care Center: Demographics and Surgical Indications
Our findings highlight the evolving landscape of corneal transplantation and the importance of tailoring surgical approaches to address the specific needs and risk profiles in different populations. Keratoconus is a leading cause for corneal grafting and seems to constitute a major treatable and visually disabling disease in Saudi Arabia, thus may require further screening and genetic studies with consideration for preventive measures.
