Suture-related complications frequently occurred after DALK for keratoconus. Ocular surface inflammation, large grafts, and late suture removal increased the risk of suture-related complications. While these complications had no negative impact on clinical outcomes in the majority of cases, some of them led to sight-threatening morbidity, underlining the importance of early diagnosis and treatment.
