ZABBYS KERATOPROSTHESIS Z-KPRO:
|
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. |
