Abstract

Rejection is the most common cause for corneal graft failure1,2. Therefore, for obvious reason, ideal material for corneal graft is the host's own cornea, either from the same eye or the fellow eye, which is totally blind from the cause that leaves the cornea healthy and intact or possibly, from an identical twin, that has a cornea to spare for the same reason. Herewith, we report a case of Transpositional Autokeratoplasty.
