Report of Descemet-Sparing Technique for Boston Type I Keratoprosthesis With Clinical Follow-Up
This modified surgical technique for placement of Boston type I KPro is less invasive compared with conventional methods and may prevent complications associated with an open-sky surgery, making it a safer alternative. Furthermore, when combined with Nd:YAG laser membranectomy of the Descemet membrane, vision can be further improved.
