Neovascularization Patterns in Corneal Graft Rejection

Completed

Conditions studied: Corneal Transplant

In brief

Corneal transplantation is the most commonly performed human tissue transplant worldwide. Over 40,000 corneal transplants occur in the US each year. . This study will determine specific corneal neovascularization (CN) patterns in human corneal allograft recipients to determine the characteristics that worsen the prognosis for graft survival. We will test the hypothesis that specific characteristics of CN are prognostic for corneal allograft rejection.
