KeraKlear Non-Penetrating Artificial Cornea
The KeraKlear Artificial Cornea is a medical device for the treatment of cornea blindness. The KeraKlear is designed to be implanted into a partial thickness corneal pocket made by a femtosecond laser through an opening of 3.5 mm in diameter.
The success of the KeraKlear for treating multiple corneal transplant failures gives hope that a minimally invasive surgery may become available for this important group of cornea blind patients.
This case also demonstrates the feasibility of the KeraKlear to improve the vision in the setting of cornea endothelial dysfunction.
The KeraKlear is indicated for patients that have non-inflammatory forms of corneal blindness (e.g. keratoconus, corneal dystrophies, corneal scars, and corneal edema).
The KeraKlear procedure can be undertaken in a refractive laser suite.
KeraKlear has a 90% retention rate after 4.5 years
