“…Our team has previously published on the risks and benefits of sequential bilateral BKPro implantation for bilateral corneal blindness. 2 We demonstrated that multiple surgeries increase the number of complications for each patient. We recommended saving bilateral BKPro for cases in which the first eye with BKPro develops a disease limiting its visual potential.…”

“…Although improvement in the quality of life has been shown after Boston KPro for legally blind patients, 3 KPro implantation in patients with acceptable vision of the other eye would not increase visual field and stereopsis in most cases. 4,5 Bilateral implantation of any KPro, especially in younger patients, is not advisable because it may endanger visual potential of both eyes. Moreover, a reserve eye with visual potential may benefit from a better device in the future.…”

Keratoprosthesis (KPro) is the last resort for corneal blindness. Boston KPro I and osteo-odonto-keratoprosthesis (OOKP) have the most favorable outcomes for their respective indications. Recently, better outcomes have been achieved for these 2 devices mainly because of improvements in postoperative care and modifications in complication management through years of experience and research. Unfortunately, some patients cannot benefit from these KPros due to lack of access to devices, trained surgeons, or both. Boston KPro I is heading toward a more affordable variation particularly for patients in developing countries. In addition, more patients with severely compromised ocular surface will be candidates for Boston KPro II variants. Biosynthetic or synthetic OOKP analogues will make the operation less complex and suitable for patients without canine tooth.
