ABSTRACT
PURPOSE:
This article reports two cases of Boston (Dohlman-Doane) Type I Keratoprosthesis procedures that were performed for the first time in Korea.METHODS:
Using the Boston Type I keratoprosthesis, we implanted ultimately these to two cases of corneal blinded patients.RESULTS:
Two Boston (Dohlman-Doane) Type I Keratoprosthesis procedures were performed successfully. The first case had poor visual prognosis due to preexisting optic neuropathy and vitreous hemorrhage, but was showed better for cosmetic effect. The second case had maintained an uncorrected visual acuity of 0.1 at postoperative 3 months.CONCLUSIONS:
We hope to perform additional procedures and long-term follow-ups to further evaluate this new surgical technique for stability and efficiency.
