The authors performed logistic regression analysis of risk factors of glaucoma after penetrating keratoplasty in 277 eyes of 277 cases for nine years up to 1996. Cases of glaucoma at the time of surgery were excluded. The series comprised 165 males and 112 females. Their ages averaged 49.5 years. The postoperative follow-up ranged from six months to five years, average 3.98 ± 1.51 years (mean ± SD). The incidence of glaucoma was 12% at six months after surgery and 23% during the whole follow-up period. The following items were identified as being risk factors for glaucoma: size of corneal graft, postoperative aphakia, and pseudophakia. The presence of bullous keratopathy and chemical burn at the time of keratoplasty were associated with a higher risk of glaucoma. LA: Japanese
