Evaluation of intraocular light scattering and color vision in eyes implanted with Boston Keratoprosthesis

Abstract

The Boston keratoprosthesis (KPro) is used for the treatment of corneal blindness in cases of poor prognosis for traditional keratoplasty, with favorable visual outcomes and improvement in quality of life. However, patients implanted with this device often complain of disabling glare under certain conditions and it is unknown how visual function differs from that of a normal cornea. The purpose of this study is to evaluate intraocular light scattering and color vision in patients implanted with KPro.
