AIM of the study
The aim of this study was to review the 35 patients with 55 KP insertions with regard to visual outcome, length of time vision maintained,retention time and complications

Patients and methods
Thirty five patients were reviewed with a total of 55 KP insertions of which 39 were 1 st timers, 8 were 2 nd, 4 were 3 rd, 3 were 4 th 1 was 5 th in a single eye.
Follow up time ranged from 1 month to 15 yrs with only 4 patients been followed up for less than 6 months.
A preoperative diagnosis of Bullous keratopathy was made in 20 patients of which 16 followed cataract extraction, 1 followed lens dislocation,3 had fuch’s dystrophy - surgery unrelated.

Of remaining 15 pts ,3 had corneal damage following perforating injury , 2 followed explosion, 1 followed lime burn, 1 had thermal burn sustained in road accident . 4 had herpetic keratitis , 1 interstitial keratitis, 2 had band keratopathy following iridocyclitis , 1 had SJ syndrome.
49 underwent penetrating KP and 6 underwent Intralamellar KP.

Keratoprosthesis is a surgical procedure where a severely damaged or diseased cornea is replaced with an artificial cornea to restore useful vision or to make the eye comfortable in painful keratopathy

It is a double plated PMMA device with a central rigid optic that perforates Cornea .
Type 1 is a collar button shaped device with front plate ,central optic stem, back plate .
Type 2 is a through – the – lid design with a 2 mm anterior nub designed to penetrate through a tarsorrhaphy

MOOKP – Eye tooth
Originally described by Strampelli later it was Giancario Falcinelli who modified the technique.
This technique uses a composite bone-tooth lamina to help anchor a polymethyl methacrylate cylinder to the cornea.
