Total Corneal Transplantation after Trauma

The first successful corneal transplantation is known since 1905, performed by Eduard Zirm (2). It has been implemented in order to restore vision in a variety of corneal diseases and after ocular traumas. The traditional technique for corneal transplantation, penetrating keratoplasty (PKP), refers to the full-thickness replacement of corneal tissue with a healthy donor graft (1). Authors report a well-documented case about successfully transplanted cornea after penetrating ocular trauma to improve visual outcome.
