Outcomes of Corneal Transplantation for Irreversible Corneal Decompensation Secondary to Corneal Endotheliitis in Asian Eyes

Such patients were more likely to have a recurrence of endothelial inflammation if they were CMV positive preoperatively, despite successful anti-CMV treatment before surgery.
