Current status of corneal transplantation.

Abstract
Corneal transplantation offers the cure for those with blinding corneal disease. Sourcing of a shortage of corneas are important. Graft survival depends on a number of factors, the most important of which is the recipient bed. The management of graft failure by rejection includes tissue matching, local and systemic immunosuppression.
