Keratoprosthesis surgery outcomes over 20 years show lasting results in one-third of cases. Attaching the prosthesis with cyanoacrylate may prevent rejection, alongside new biopolymeric materials.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Biomaterials Science

Context:

  • Presents findings from 32 keratoprosthesis operations conducted over a 20-year period.
  • Evaluates the long-term efficacy and challenges associated with artificial cornea implantation.

Purpose:

  • To analyze the outcomes of keratoprosthesis surgery.
  • To explore methods for improving graft survival rates and preventing implant rejection.
  • To discuss the role of novel biopolymeric materials in ocular prosthetics.

Summary:

  • Approximately one-third of the 32 keratoprosthesis operations yielded lasting positive results.
  • Author's experience suggests that using cyanoacrylate adhesive for prosthesis fixation can extend the period before rejection occurs.
  • The study highlights the potential benefits of new biopolymeric materials in enhancing keratoprosthesis performance and durability.
