Summary
Orbital decompression surgery can improve ocular surface health and cosmesis for patients with keratoprosthesis (KPro) by reducing globe prominence. This novel approach helps optimize outcomes for these complex cases.
Area of Science:
- Ophthalmology
- Oculoplastics
- Reconstructive Surgery
Background:
- Optimizing ocular surface and cosmesis are critical for keratoprosthesis (KPro) patient rehabilitation.
- A healthy ocular surface is essential for functional success in osteo-odonto-keratoprosthesis (OOKP) and Boston type 1 KPro surgery.
