Research progress in anti-rejection of heterokeratoplasty

Abstract:

On account of vastity and easy availability of the corneal donor, heterokeratoplasty is indicated for a number of serious corneal disorders, such as severe degeneration of corneal scar, cone-shaped deformation. However, the postoperative rejection continues to be a major barrier to the application of this technique. Now this paper reviews the relevant mechanisms and prevention of rejection.
