Prognosis
Early stages may be asymptomatic and may not require any intervention. Initial treatment may include hypertonic eyedrops and/or ointment to reduce the corneal edema and may offer symptomatic improvement prior to surgical intervention.

However, recurrence of the disease in the donor graft is not ruled out.
