ABSTRACT
Glaucoma is a serious complication after keratoplasty because of its high
incidence, its severity and the challenges associated with diagnosis and
treatment; it represents the second leading cause of graft failure and is a
devastating complication for corneal transplantation. Its diagnosis is customary
to be done by indirect signs that the triad of diagnosis and monitoring of
glaucoma is difficult to accomplish due to the characteristics of the
postoperative penetrating keratoplasty features. The primary goal after corneal
transplantation is to restore visual acuity for the patient. To achieve good visual acuity, which may be limited by glaucoma, requires a clear graft and regular
and low corneal astigmatism.
