| Abstract: | A corneal graft is a resection of a part of a diseased and opaque cornea, and its substitution by a clear fragment of equal size taken from a healthy cornea of a person who has just died. This is a report on corneal graft operations carried on at St. Luke's Hospital, Malta in 1969 and 1975. For the first time in Malta, fresh corneal tissue was used from eyes of patients in St. Luke's Hospital. We are very grateful to the relatives of these patients. The case suffering from dendritic ulcer operated upon for the third time is still doing well six months after the operation. |
