Abstract
A review of current literature reveals continuing concerns regarding the safety and success of penetrating keratoplasty. Quality assurance within eyebanks is directed inter alia at the prevention of transmission of infection from donor to host. Recent controversy in the United Kingdom regarding the transmission of Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease underscores the need for constant vigilance and regular review of eyebank standards. The improvement of the success rates for keratoplasty in difficult cases and the elimination or reduction of side effects assume increasing importance as the technical difficulties in more straightforward cases are solved. This review discusses some recent publications in this field.
