Background: To evaluate the anatomical and functional outcomes of autologous contralateral penetrating keratoplasty (autokeratoplasty).
Methods: Kaplan-Meier survival analyses were retrospectively performed. Anatomical failure was defined as regraft or graft permanently cloudy at any time during follow-up.
Purpose: To compare anatomical and functional results between three types of keratoprosthesis (KPro) in chemical injury and autoimmune disease.
Methods: 70 clinically comparable cases were included as follows: Boston KPro Type 1 25 eyes, osteo-odonto-keratoprosthesis (OOKP) 23 eyes, Tibial bone KPro 22 eyes. Survival times for anatomical and functional success were evaluated with Kaplan-Meier estimations and Log-rank tests.
Purpose: To analyze functional and anatomical results of pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) to treat endophthalmitis in eyes with osteokeratoprosthesis.
Methods: An observational, retrospective study of five eyes suffering from endophthalmitis, after an osteokeratoprosthesis implantation, which underwent PPV associated with intravitreal antibiotics. The minimum follow-up after PPV was 6 months.
Purpose: To compare the anatomical and the functional results between osteo-odonto-keratoprosthesis (OOKP) and keratoprosthesis using tibial bone autograft (Tibial bone KPro).
Methods: We reviewed the charts of 258 patients; 145 had OOKP whereas 113 had Tibial bone KPro implanted. Functional success was defined as best corrected visual acuity ≥0.
Purpose: To evaluate the anatomical and functional results of pars plana vitrectomy in eyes with osteo-keratoprosthesis, who have suffered retinal detachment.
Methods: An observational, retrospective study of 18 eyes which underwent pars plana vitrectomy for retinal detachment after an implantation of an osteo-keratoprosthesis, with a minimum of 1-year follow-up. A descriptive study and a Kaplan-Meier survival analysis for anatomical and functional success were performed.
Purpose: To analyze the anatomical and functional results of keratoprosthesis using tibial bone autograft.
Methods: We reviewed 113 charts of patients who underwent tibial bone osteokeratoprothesis implantation at the Centro de Oftalmologia Barraquer. Kaplan-Meier survival curves with 95% confidence interval were calculated for functional success, defined as best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) ≥0.
Purpose: To determine the value of electroretinography (ERG) and visual evoked potential (VEP) in predicting visual outcome in patients undergoing osteo-keratoprosthesis (OKP) or osteo-odonto-keratoprosthesis (OOKP) surgery.
Methods: We performed a retrospective cohort study of 143 eyes in 101 patients who underwent OKP or OOKP surgery. The subjects underwent ERG, VEP testing or both up to 6 months prior to surgery.
Purpose: To report the long-term functional and anatomic outcomes of osteo-odonto-keratoprosthesis and tibial bone keratoprosthesis; to analyze the influence of clinical factors, such as surgical technique, primary diagnosis, age, and postoperative complications, on the final outcome.
Design: Retrospective cohort study.
Methods: setting: Centro de Oftalmología Barraquer, between 1974 and 2005.

Purpose: To analyse the functional and anatomical results of keratoprosthesis using tooth and tibial autograft.
Methods: We reviewed 227 charts of patients that underwent osteo-keratoprosthesis (OKP) (n = 82) or osteo-odonto-keratoprosthesis (OOKP) (n = 145) at the Centro de Oftalmología Barraquer. Mean follow-up time was 8.
Purpose: To report a rare case of keratoconus concurrent with granular dystrophy in a patient of Italian origin. It is the seventh case in the literature and the second histopathologically documented case.
Methods: Keratoconus combined with granular dystrophy developed bilaterally in a 15-year-old boy from Italy.
