Study Summary

The purpose of the pilot study is to test the efficacy and safety of riboflavin/Ultraviolet A (UVA) cross-linked human donor corneas as carriers for the Boston Keratoprosthesis (Boston KPro) in patients with higher risk for corneal melting (keratolysis).

Primary Outcome

The average carrier graft thickness over the first year of postoperative follow-up. The corneal thickness was measured at each visit using AS-OCT imaging 1 mm away from the KPro stem at 3, 6, 9, and 12 o'clock. The individual corneal thickness measurements (3, 6, 9, and 12 o'clock) where then averaged. The average corneal thickness measurements for week 4, 6, 26, 32 and 52 are reported below.
