Title	Visual outcome and rejection rate in eyes with corneal grafts : a retrospective study
Abstract Nr.	1045

Purpose	The aim of this retrospective study is to establish the visual outcomes and the rejection rate in a serie of selected patients that underwent a corneal graft.
Methods	Retrospective study on eyes that underwent a corneal graft between 2010 and 2014. Indication for the procedure, pre and sequential post operative data and rejection rate are analyzed. (exact number of patients to be dertermined, around 50-100)
Results	Postoperative visual acuities show a significant upwards trend and usually exceeds preoperative visual acuity significantly. Rejections also appeared in a certain proportion of eyes.
Conclusion	This study shows that postoperative uncorrected and best-corrected visual acuity improves significantly over time. It also shows occurrences of corneal graft rejections in a small proportion of eyes.
