Abstract
Half of the patients with tibial bone KPro had retained the keratoprosthesis after 10Â years post-surgery and one-fifth of them had visual acuity of 0.05 or better at the same period. Considering that these patients have no other way to recover their vision either because they have no canine tooth or their buccal or dental conditions are not adequate for OOKP, this modified surgery is their only hope.
