1. Aims:
   To examine the wound configuration after penetrating keratoplasty (PKP) using anterior segment optical coherence tomography (OCT).
   
   Methods:
   All PKP patients who were examined for routine follow-up, between November and December 2006, after having all their sutures removed were included. Patients underwent clinical examination, refraction, corneal topography, aberrometry and Visante anterior segment OCT.
   
   Results:
   204 graft–host sections from 27 eyes (25 patients, mean age 51.6 (SD 17.7) years) were analysed. Although all the graft–host junctions had continuous smooth epithelial surfaces, 124 of them (60.8%) had internal graft–host malappositions such as ... (Read Full Article)
