The symposium organized by Christopher States and Glenn McGregor was attended by more than 65 scientists. In addition to participants from the midwestern states (KY, OH, MI, IN, IL) attendees from NY, NJ and TX also made presentations. The meeting gained an international flavor with representation from Universidad de los Andes in Columbia. The conference was sponsored by the James G. Brown Cancer Center and the Center for Environmental and Occupational Heath of the University of Louisville. The program included a keynote address by Errol C. Friedberg (University of Texas Southwestern at Dallas), 15 oral platform presentations in three sessions and 23 posters. The symposium website (http://www.louisville.edu/∼jcstat01/Symposium2000.html) includes the program and the full text of the abstracts. Students and post-doctoral fellows were prominent in the program and were responsible for one-third of the oral presentations and over half of the posters. The venue at the University of Louisville was highly conducive to interaction among the attendees. It was decided to continue rotating the symposium among different universities and next year’s symposium is planned for Indiana University.

N2 - Background: The topography of corneas after penetrating keratoplasty is highly variable. We classify the topography into five groups. Methods: We performed videokeratography on 45 clear compact penetrating keratoplasties, with all sutures removed. Three ophthalmologists classified the keratographs independently into five previously defined topographic groups, based on the pattern of the normalized color-coded videokeratograph. Results: The five topographic patterns included: prolate bow tie, 14 (30%); oblate bow tie, 14 (30%); mixed prolate and oblate bow tie, 8 (17%); asymmetric, 3 (9%); and steep/flat, 6 (14%). The three ophthalmologists agreed in their initial classification in 87% of the cases and after discussion, in 96%. Conclusion: The topography of the cornea after penetrating keratoplasty can be classified into five qualitative groups by trained observers, with good clinical reliability.
