  2. Boston Type I Keratoprosthesis • Excellent option for high risk corneal grafts • Immunologic rejection • Multiple graft failures from rejection • Stromal neovascularization • Endothelial decompensation • Tube shunts • Aniridic intraocular lens • Severe ocular surface disease • Stevens-Johnson Syndrome • Chemical burns • Ocular CicatricialPemphigoid

  3. Purpose • To report the use of Boston Type I Keratoprosthesis (KPro) in combination with silicone oil for treatment of hypotony in prephthisical eyes • To our knowledge, this is the first report of this technique

  4. Inclusion Criteria • Hypotony • Visually Significant OR • Worsening • Poor visual acuity • In operative eye: BCVA ≤ 20/CF • In fellow eye: BCVA ≤ 20/400 • Failed cornea

  5. Study Design Technique • Retrospective, interventional case series • 5 eyes of 5 patients • Outcomes measured: • Preoperative and Postoperative Snellen VA • Intraocular Pressure by digital palpation • Complications • Aphakic Boston Type I KPro implanted and vitreous cavity filled with 5,000 centistoke silicone oil • Advanced vitreoretinal techniques applied including endoscopic visualization for concurrent disease

  6. Patient Demographics PKP = Penetrating Keratoplasty, PDR = Proliferative Diabetic Retinopathy, TRD = Traction Retinal Detachment, ERM = Epiretinal Membrane, RD = Retinal Detachment, PPV = Pars Plana Vitrectomy, PRP = Panretinal Photocoagulation, IOL = Intraocular Lens

  7. LP = Light Perception, HM = Hand Motion, ft = foot, CF = Count Fingers, mo = months

  8. Results • Vision remained stable in all eyes • 4 of 5 eyes (80%) showed improvement in visual acuity • Intraocular pressure improved in all cases • Average Preoperative IOP = 5.8 mmHg • Average Postoperative IOP = 15 mmHg • No intraoperative complications were noted • Long-term silicone oil did not result in extrusion of KPro in any of these cases

  9. Postoperative Complications • 1 eye developed stromal thinning of the donor cornea requiring lamellar patch graft for stabilization • 2 eyes developed epiretinal membranes

  10. Postoperative Complications • 4 eyes (80%) developed retroprosthetic membranes • 2 cases were observed • 2 cases underwent Nd:YAG laser • No case required surgical membrane peel

  11. Conclusions Boston Type I KPro in combination with placement of silicone oil can be a treatment for hypotony in prephthisical eyes. Retroprosthetic membranes can be managed with laser and, if needed, surgical excision.

  12. Conclusions Advanced retinal techniques including endoscopic visualization can be applied to a spectrum of diseases in the context of a KPro. Retinal detachment Rhegamatogenous Traction Vitreous hemorrhage • Fibrous proliferation • Aniridic anterior fibrosis syndrome • Hypotony
