Abstract
54 corneas, 49 high risk cases and 5 low risk cases, were grafted with HLA-matched donor material. The importance of antigen compatibilitiy especially in high risk cases is demonstrated. The percentage of irreversible rejections and reversible rejections in this group is markedly smaller as compared with our own “at random” material and the “at ramdom” material of other authors. The follow-up period is 3–21 months.Keywords
