OBJECTIVE: To study in a masked fashion whether an objective histological feature associated with keratoconus (KCN) occurs in donor corneas in eyes originally receiving a corneal graft for KCN.
METHODS: Two ocular pathologists performed a retrospective masked histological analysis of slides from donor buttons recovered from 21 eyes with a history of KCN undergoing repeat penetrating keratoplasty (failed-PK-KCN), 11 eyes that underwent their first PK due to KCN (primary KCN), and 11 eyes without history of KCN which underwent PK for other conditions (failed-PK-non-KCN). Breaks/gaps in Bowman's layer served as the pathological feature indicative of recurrent KCN.
RESULTS: Breaks in Bowman's layer were present in 18/21 (86%) of the failed-PK-KCN group, 10/11 (91%) of the primary KCN group, and in 3/11 (27%) of the failed-PK-non-KCN group. Pathological evidence suggests that the prevalence of breaks is significantly higher in grafted patients with a history of KCN than non-KCN controls (OR: 16.0, 95% CI 2.63 to 97.2, Fisher's exact test p=0.0018) with a conservative Bonferroni criterion of p <0.017 to account for multiple group comparisons. There was no statistically significant difference found between the failed-PK-KCN and primary KCN groups.
CONCLUSIONS: This study provides histological evidence that breaks and gaps in Bowman's layer, consistent with those found in primary KCN, may develop within the donor tissue in eyes with a history of KCN.
