The causes include infectious and noninfectious etiologies including immune-induced corneal ulcers. Both etiologies can lead to severe complications such as corneal melting, necrosis and perforation. When conventional therapies fail, emergency measures like penetrating keratoplasty become necessary to preserve ocular integrity and eradicate the pathogen in infectious cases. Our study investigates the outcomes of emergency penetrating keratoplasty for advanced keratitis cases, focusing on anatomical restoration, therapeutic efficacy, and functional outcomes. We found that while anatomical and therapeutic goals were partially achieved, visual outcomes remained poor, with a high incidence of postoperative complications. Our findings underscore the challenges associated with delayed surgical intervention and emphasize the importance of early consideration of surgical options in refractory cases to improve patient outcomes.
