Study Summary

This is a phase I/II prospective, randomized, multi-center, double-masked, vehicle-controlled clinical trial evaluating the safety and efficacy of corneal collagen cross-linking the keratoprosthesis carrier tissue in subjects who are candidates for high-risk keratoprosthesis implantation but because of a history of corneal melts or autoimmune diseases are not candidate for a traditional corneal transplant.

Primary Outcome

If the device fails after surgery the time and reason behind the failure will be recorded. The number of device losses in the control group will be compared to the number of device losses in investigational group.
