This short report includes 5 eyes of 5 patients(mean age 63.2±12 years)who underwent a tectonic keratoplasty[deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty(DALK)or penetrating keratoplasty(PK)]in order to rehabilitate the eye a...
AIM:To investigate the safety of vitreoretinal surgery when using a soft contact lens as a temporary keratoprosthesis(TKP)in patients with severe corneal opacifications.METHODS:Three patients with simultaneous corneal...

AIM:To investigate whether hydroxyapatite(HAp)coating can improve keratoprosthesis(KPro)implant biointegration,ultimately to decrease the risk of implantassociated complications.METHODS:The modified titanium imp...
Background:To determine patient-reported vision-related quality of life(VR-QoL)following Boston type I keratoprosthesis(BI-KPro)surgery and its association with postoperative best-corrected visual acuity(BCVA).Methods...

Corneal transplantation is the most common surgical procedure amongst solid organ transplants with a high survival rate of 86% at 1-year post-grafting. This high success rate has been attributed to the immune privileg...
Stable tissue integration is important to keratoprosthesis (KPro). The aim of this study was to evaluate the tissue bonding ability of hydroxyapatite (HAp)-coated titanium KPro. The samples were divided into three...
A large subset of corneal pathologies involves the formation of new vessels(neovascularization), leading to compromised visual acuity. This article aims to review the clinical causes and presentations of corneal neova...
