Keratoplasty sensitivity

Br J Ophthalmol. 1979 Apr;63(4):265-7. doi: 10.1136/bjo.63.4.265.

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.
