Introduction: The aim of the study is retrospective analysis of perforating keratoplasty (PKP) indications at the Department of Ophthalmology, Faculty Hospital, Masaryk University, Brno, Czech Republic, E.U., during the period of 5 years, from January 1st, 2008 to December 31st, 2012. Material and Methods: We performed the PKP indications’ retrospective analysis at the Department of Ophthalmology, Faculty Hospital, Masaryk University, Brno, Czech Republic, E.U., during the period of 5 years, from January 1st, 2008 to December 31st, 2012, with complex evaluation of demographic and clinical data. The clinical diagnoses indicating the perforating keratoplasty were divided into 6 groups (keratoconus, bulous keratopathy, keratitis, corneal dystrophies, injuries, corneal transplant failure, and others) according to Cunningham et al. 2011 (2) and Boimer et al. 2012(1) methods. Results: Our results correspond to data in the literature published abroad, where the majority of recently published papers refer significant increase of corneal transplant failure in the last years of follow-up.
