Abstract
Urgent penetrating keratoplasty can preserve eye integrity and eradication of the infectious process in a large part of perforated bacterial and herpetic corneal ulcers. Visual rehabilitation is often a secondary objective. Adapted antimicrobial treatment reduces graft reinfection and steroid treatment reduces the frequency of some complications, especially graft rejection.
