Wound dehiscence is an uncommon but significant complication following keratoplasty. This study analysed the incidence, risk factors, clinical features and outcomes of traumatic wound dehiscence following keratoplasty. ⋯ Traumatic wound dehiscence may occur following minor trauma, even years after PK and frequently causes severe vision loss. Patients should be advised of this longer term risk and protective eye-wear should be encouraged by eye care providers.
