Brief Answer:
Prognosis is usually good but requires long term follow-up
Detailed Answer:
hello shrikant
i have gone through the query and understand your concern.
prognosis post keratoplasty is usually good considering there were no complications during the surgery.
you must be knowing that she has undergone keratoplasty as she had pseudophakic bullous keratopathy (PBK).
right eye cataract surgery must have been complicated that's why she developed PBK.
i would like to know her vision of both the eyes
hope this was of help.
let me know if you have other queries.
thank you.
regards
