The first keratoplasty was performed in Hungary in 1909, but the transplantations were started in large numbers after the Second World War in Debrecen. Since 1992 a National Keratoplasty Register is functioning at the Department of Ophthalmology Debrecen. The present paper gives an overview on the current status of keratoplasty in Hungary based on the data of this Register. The number of corneal transplantations more than doubled in the past two decades. In the past 3 years (2005 to 2008) the number of transplantation seemed to stabilize around a bit more than 700. The ratio of preserved corneas disclosed a constant increase. The turning point was 1997, few years after the establishment of the Debrecen Eye Bank in 1994, when more preserved corneas were transplanted than fresh ones. The law regulating the procurement and the transplantation of corneas in our country is based on presumed consent and explicit objection which is the better type of regulation for the performance of keratoplasties in large numbers. The number of corneal transplantations in Hungary in the past decades was similar to the figures of industrial countries.
1909年匈牙利进行了首例角膜移植手术，但在第二次世界大战后德布勒森开始大量开展此类移植手术。自1992年起，德布勒森眼科部设立了全国角膜移植登记处。本文基于该登记处的数据概述了匈牙利角膜移植的现状。在过去二十年中，角膜移植的数量增加了一倍多。在过去三年（2005年至2008年），移植数量似乎稳定在略多于700例的水平。保存角膜的比例持续上升。转折点是1997年，即1994年德布勒森眼库成立几年后，当时移植的保存角膜数量超过了新鲜角膜。我国规范角膜获取和移植的法律基于推定同意和明确反对原则，这是大量开展角膜移植手术的更好监管方式。过去几十年匈牙利的角膜移植数量与工业国家的数字相近。
