Intraocular pressure elevation during and after corneal transplantation is a serious complication which may cause loss of transplanted
tissue and serious visual compromise. If the patient has glaucoma this should be treated before the transplantation surgery. In case of
pressure raise during the transplantation there are various methods for regulating the IOP. In cases of post transplantation glaucoma
topical antiglaucoma medications and filtrating interventions must be pursued. Recent advances in trans scleral diod lazer applications
are promising and can be used for regulating IOP on every occasion before and after trans surgery with confidence.
