摘要
Dear Editor,We would like to report complications of intrastromal bevacizumab injection for corneal neovascularization(CNV)after lamellar keratoplasty(LK)in two patients.CNV is a significant risk factor for graft rejection.CNV leads to graft failure by disturbing the immune function of the cornea after penetrating keratoplasty(PKP).Studies reported that more than fifty percent of graft failure occurs in this condition[1].
