Methods: This was a retrospective cross-sectional study of 20 patients who had DALK in one eye over a three-month period. LTMH, CTFT, and CCET of the operated eyes and the unoperated fellow eyes were measured using high-definition optical coherence tomography(HD-OCT). Correlations between three OCT assessments and age, time following surgery, graft size, bed size, and the number of residual sutures were analyzed. Results: Compared to patients with keratoconus, patients with other corneal conditions had significantly higher CCET in the fellow eye(P=0.024). For all patients, CCET in the operated eye was significantly negatively correlated with the number of residual sutures(R=-0.579, P=0.008), and was significantly positively correlated with time following surgery(R=0.636, P=0.003). In the fellow eye, a significant positive correlation was found between age and CCET(R=0.551, P=0.012), and a significant negative correlation between age and CTFT(R=-0.491, P=0.028). LTMH was found to be significantly correlated between operated and fellow eyes(R=0.554, P=0.011). There was no significant correlation between LTMH and age, bed/graft size, time following surgery, or residual sutures(all possible correlations, P0.05). Conclusions: Patients with keratoconus tend to have a thinner central corneal epithelium. Corneal epithelium keeps regenerating over time after DALK. DALK did not induce a significant change in tear volume compared with the fellow eye. Postoperative tear function might depend on an individual's general condition, rather than on age, gender, bed/graft size, time following surgery, or residual sutures.展开更多
