Corneal Transplantation in Australia Over 29 Years: A Retrospective Analysis of Medicare Data from 1994 to 2022

We performed a longitudinal analysis of corneal transplantation in Australia using a comprehensive, routinely collected, population-based data source. Prior studies examining corneal transplantation have interrogated data from the Australian Corneal Graft Registry, which relies on voluntary reporting. Corneal transplantation rates have increased during the last 15 years, likely as new corneal transplant techniques have evolved, with increasing demand for corneal donation and eye banking services.
