Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Functional result (visual acuity testing, Snellen chart), transplant survival (slit lamp investigation). The investigations are performed preoperatively, and 6 weeks, 4-6 months, and 12 months postoperatively, followed by annual investigations in a 10 year follow up. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Quality of vision (color vision, visual field testing), corneal status (endothelial cell density, corneal thickness, optical coherence tomography), intraocular pressure (standardised measurement by Goldmann applanation tonometry), development/progression of ocular comorbidities (fundus control, dry eye evaluation, corneal sensitivity measurement). The investigations are performed preoperatively, and 6 weeks, 4-6 months, and 12 months postoperatively, followed by annual investigations in a 10 year follow up. | — |
