Siti Sundari Dept. of Opthalmology Fac of Medicine Universitas Gadjah Mada Purpose: To report the evaluation of keratoplasty at Dr Yap Eye Hospital and Sardjito General Hospital. Materials and Methods: A retrospective study. This study performed corneal disease patients who underwent penetrating keratoplasty at two hospitals. The relationship between ages, sex, donor origin, etiology of cloudy cornea and visual acuity before and after penetrating keratoplasty were investigated. Results: Fifty nine eyes from 59 patients (39 male, 20 female) were underwent penetrating keratoplasty. There is no influence of the age of the donor to the outcomes. Forty one donor with age > 60 years old have positive outcome (improvement of visual acuity) to the 30 recipient (73%) while younger donor have 67% positive outcome. Significantly difference figure was observed for the age of recipient. The young recipient (<60 years old) obtained much higher positive result (76%) than the older ones (46%). In term of sex of the recipient, there is a light difference between male and recipient to the outcomes, 75% positive outcome for male , and 65% for female. Most of the donors were originated from foreign country (80%). The outcomes were not influenced by the origin of the donor (70% positive result for local and 69% for foreign) The outcome of keratoplasty to the eyes with cloudy cornea caused by infection (45 eyes) and non infection (14 eyes) was slightly difference, positive outcome up to 71% and 65% respectively. Conclusion: Ages and origin of the donor origin did not influence to the outcome of the keratoplasty in term of visual acuity, while recipient age and sex significantly influence the outcome. The infectious cloudy cornea seems to have more chance to get improvement outcome through keratoplasty than non infectious ones. Keyword: keratoplasty, visual acuity, age, sex, etiology |
