Context:

Keratoprosthetics represent a surgical option for end-stage corneal disease unresponsive to conventional treatments.
The Cardona et al. technique laid the groundwork for modern artificial cornea development.

Purpose:

To review the historical development and technical advancements in keratoprosthetics over the last two decades.
To present the outcomes of 17 personal cases involving keratoprosthesis implantation.

Summary:

The study details the evolution of keratoprosthetics, highlighting Cardona's pioneering work and recent technical improvements.
Outcomes from 17 patient cases demonstrated varied results: 7 with definite visual acuity improvement, 5 with transient improvement, 3 with persistent poor vision, and 2 with vision deterioration.

Impact:

Keratoprosthesis implantation is currently in an early developmental stage, indicating significant potential for future innovation and improved patient vision.
This review contributes to understanding the current capabilities and future trajectory of artificial cornea technology.
