ZABBYS KERATOPROSTHESIS is an artificial cornea, used in cases of severe corneal opacity when a standard corneal opacity does not succeed
|
|
Product Description
|
|
An artificial cornea (keratoprosthesis) used to treat corneal opacity which provides good central vision.
|
|
|
| |
|
ZABBYS KERATOPROSTHESIS design is similar to Boston Keratoprosthesis.
|
|
|
The KERATOPROSTHESIS is made of clinical grade PMMA.
|
|
|
It consists of three parts,
|
|
|
|
|
The front part (front plate with stem)
|
|
|
The back plate
|
|
|
The lock ring
|
|
|

|
Optical properties:
|
|
|
The KERATOPROSTHESIS are manufactured to match the refractive need of the individual patient according to their lens status. (phakic /aphakic/ pseudophakic)
|
|
|
For the eye that is pseudophakic and therefore, approximately emmetropic, and where the IOL is left in place at surgery, a single standard power (45 D) is manufactured
|
|
|
For aphakic eyes of different axial lengths, however, devices with varying degrees of power are made to allow a match to the patient’s need as closely as possible.
|
|
|
Thus, the axial length of the individual aphakic patient is always requested from the surgeon to allow the choice of a KERATOPROSTHESIS that theoretically matches the dioptric requirement of the eye to be operated.
|
|
|
|
|
Post operative outcome after keratoprosthesis:
|
|
|
Improved vision restricted to the center field
|
|
|
Immediate recovery period
|
|
|
Post of antibiotic usage throughout their life time.
