ABSTRACT

Objective: to describe some clinical characteristics and visual outcomes in patients undergoing corneal transplants in the Eye Center "Arnaldo Milian Castro" University Hospital.
Method: an observational, descriptive, cross-sectional study was carried out in 47 patients undergoing corneal transplants in the Eye Center "Arnaldo Milian Castro" University Hospital in Villa Clara province. The universe consisted of 47 patients. the variables studied were: age, sex, cause of corneal transplant surgery and lens best corrected visual acuity before and after transplantation.
Results: the predominant age groups were those between 60 and 69 years and 70 to 79 years in both sexes. The most frequent cause of keratoplasty was pseudophakic bullous keratopathy, followed by corneal scarring and graft rejection, and the goal of surgery that prevailed was the optician.
Conclusions: after the cornea transplant there is a significant increase in best corrected visual acuity. Corneal transplantation contributes significantly to provide an adequate level of visual recovery in patients with corneal opacities and blindness prevention of corneal origin.
