A group of 70 patients who had attended the Keratoconus Clinic at Moorfields Eye Hospital over a 10-year period were analysed retrospectively. At the end of this period 23 eyes had undergone corneal transplantation. This gave an overall probability of 16%, various information obtained at the initial visit was then analysed for a possible relationship with the probability of needing a transplant within ten years. The only significant relationship found was the initial corneal radius as determined by the back optic radius of the first contact lens. A graph was constructed plotting probability of corneal transplant against each radius at the first visit, which could assist clinicians in advising patients.
回顾性分析了在10年期间就诊于摩尔费尔德眼科医院圆锥角膜诊所的70例患者。在此期间结束时，23只眼睛接受了角膜移植。总体概率为16%，然后分析了初次就诊时获得的各种信息，以寻找与10年内需要移植的概率之间可能存在的关系。发现的唯一显著关系是由第一副接触镜的后光学区半径所确定的初始角膜半径。绘制了初次就诊时角膜移植概率与各半径的关系图，这可以帮助临床医生为患者提供建议。
