• Resumen

  • Three cases of keratoconus treated with corneal graft. All of them were successful, and with very good visual acuity. One of them was prescribed corneal contact lens six months after surgery, which is tolerated very well without producing any corneal abrasión. It is recommended that the corneal grafts for the treatment of keratoconus should have at least 8 millimetres in diameter. One case of corneal graft to treat corneal leukoma due to traumatic corneal ulcer. The graft obtained was transparent, but it has a partial retrocorneal membrane which does not affect the pupillary area and due probably to lack of sharpness in the trephination. One case of total corneal graft which remained transparent enough to see the fundus clearly. It is recommended in these cases to have a complete removal of the iris and lens extraction. Two cases of corneal graft in aphakic patients, both remaining transparent. One was an autologous graft. It is recommended in these cases, to avoid vitreous loss, a very deep premedication of the patient, high-dosis of hyaluronidase with the local anesthetic, and a very delicate corneal trephination. Two cases of corneal graft in the same patient with atypical familiar corneal distrophy. Both cases were perfectly transparent with optimal visual cuity, which is in agreement with the experience of others that the corneal graft in this type of disease is successful in eighty percent of the cases. Finally, we describe the treatment of an iris cyst with the intracystic injection of iodine tincture diluted to 50%, which produced the complete atrophy of the cyst. Palabra clave: Artículo
