Five Cases of Corneal Graft Rejection After Recent COVID-19 Vaccinations and a Review of the Literature
Conclusions:
Corneal graft rejection has recently been reported after COVID-19 vaccination. Patients with keratoplasty need to be advised regarding the risk of corneal graft rejection and warning symptoms of rejection after COVID-19 vaccination. Seeking early referral to the emergency department and increasing topical steroids pre–COVID-19 and post–COVID-19 vaccination may reduce the risk of rejection.
