Purpose: To report midterm outcomes of Boston Keratoprosthesis type II at a reference center in Spain.
Design: Retrospective case series.
Methods: This observational study included medical records of 9 patients who underwent Boston Keratoprosthesis type II surgery at Cruces University Hospital from May 2016 through May 2023.
Purpose: The purpose of this report was to describe a new alternative surgical technique combining oral mucosa and the Boston Keratoprosthesis type II (BKPro II) in a patient with severe chemical burn.
Methods: We present a case of a 37-year-old man who suffered a severe bilateral chemical burn. Visual acuity was light perception and projection in both eyes.
Candida Colonization on the Surface of Contact Lenses in Long-Term Wearers and Boston Type 1 Keratoprosthesis Patients Presenting as White Mulberry-Shaped Deposits.
Eye Contact Lens
May 2023
Purpose: To report Candida colonies on the surface of the contact lens in long-term contact lens wearers and patients with Boston type 1 keratoprosthesis (KPro I).
Methods: A retrospective study was performed based on analyzing cultures from bandage contact lenses with small whitish mulberry-shaped deposits on their surface.
Results: Eight samples (from seven patients) were positive for Candida.
To report sterile corneal necrosis as a severe and rare complication after Bowman Layer Transplantation (BTL). A 35-year-old woman with Down syndrome and advanced progressive keratoconus in her left eye was scheduled for a BLT. The patient rubbed her eyes and did not tolerate contact lenses.

Methods: Overall, 230 eyes in 158 patients with keratoconus were analysed. We performed five consecutive corneal tomography examinations for each eye with a Pentacam HR in patients with keratoconus.
Purpose: To assess the physiological changes in the cornea over time in patients with irregular cornea fitted with Rose K2 XL gas-permeable scleral contact lenses.
Methods: Prospective study of 16 eyes of patients who did not tolerate gas-permeable corneal contact lenses and were fitted with Rose K2 XL scleral lenses. We assessed the central vault and the corneal thickness centrally and at peripheral regions (2 to 5 mm annulus).
Background: Although fortunately very rare in countries with a temperate climate, certain factors, such as clinical or pharmacological immunosuppression, may cause Fusarium-related fungal infections to become an emerging problem. Moreover, Fusarium is one of the most important etiological agents in exogenous endophthalmitis, which is often favored by the disruption of the epithelial barriers.
Aims: The aim of this series of clinical cases is to identify characteristic clinical findings that may allow an early diagnosis and more efficient management of this ophthalmologic emergency.
Objectives: To assess visual function in patients with irregular cornea who do not tolerate gas permeable (GP) corneal contact lenses and are fitted with GP scleral contact lenses (Rose K2 XL).
Methods: In this prospective study, we analyzed 15 eyes of 15 patients who did not tolerate GP corneal contact lenses and were fitted with scleral contact lenses (Rose K2 XL). We assessed visual function using visual acuity and the visual function index (VF-14); we used the VF-14 as an indicator of patient satisfaction.
