Severe irregular astigmatism is often seen after keratoplasty which can delay visual rehabilitation, even with a clear graft.&#13;
Aim: The aim of this study was to co-relate post- keratoplasty astigmatism by using different number of sutures and different donor graft sizes.&#13;
Material and Method: In this prospective study, 80 eyes of patients underwent penetrating keratoplasty with interuppted suturing techniques with different numbers of sutures and by using different size of donor graft size.&#13;
Conclusion: Post operative corneal irregular astigmatism was noted to be more common with increased number of sutures and large donor graft size.&#13;
