Keratoplasty sensitivity

M Ruben et al. Br J Ophthalmol. 1979 Apr.

Abstract

Analysis of graft sensitivity showed a return to normal after 3 years in only one-third of the eyes. It is not known whether this is due to regeneration of abnormal or superficial nerve fibres. Contact lens wearers showed less sensitivity than spectacle wearers.
