Abstract
The long-term outcome for optical indications in Asian eyes follows a trend in endothelium-related attrition similar to that seen in the West. Tectonic and therapeutic keratoplasty for corneal infections and perforation, however, constitute a significant proportion of corneal transplantation performed in Asia and carry a graver prognosis in terms of graft survival.
