Keratoprostheses in silicone oil-filled eyes: long-term outcomes.

Purpose: To analyse the functional and anatomical outcomes of different types of keratoprostheses in eyes with retained silicone oil following vitreoretinal surgery.

Methods: Retrospective chart review of patients operated with any type of permanent keratoprosthesis (Kpro) in silicone oil-filled eyes between March 2003 and June 2017 were analysed.

Results: 40 silicone oil-filled eyes underwent keratoprostheses, of which 22 were type 1 and 18 were type 2 Kpros (Lucia variant-nine, modified osteo odonto kerato prosthesis (MOOKP)-four, Boston type 2-three and osteoKpro-two) with a mean follow-up of 61.

Bone augmentation of the osteo-odonto alveolar lamina in MOOKP--will it delay laminar resorption?

Purpose: We aimed to describe a new technique and analyse the early outcomes of augmenting the canine tooth using a mandibular bone graft in an attempt to delay or retard the process of laminar resorption following the modified osteo odonto keratoprosthesis (MOOKP) procedure.

Design: This was a retrospective case series.

Patients And Methods: Eyes that underwent the bone augmentation procedure between December 2012 and February 2014 were retrospectively analysed.

Structural & functional rehabilitation in eyes with lamina resorption following MOOKP--can the lamina be salvaged?

Purpose: To describe a new technique and analyze the outcome of procedures performed for anatomic and functional rehabilitation in eyes with lamina resorption following the modified osteo-odonto keratoprosthesis (MOOKP) procedure.

Design: Retrospective case series.

Patients & Methods: Eighteen eyes were noted to have lamina resorption of the 85 eyes that underwent the MOOKP surgery over the last 10 years.
