[Experience with kerato-prosthetics].

Abstract

The results of 32 keratoprosthesis operations performed in the course of 20 years are presented. In about one-third of the cases the results proved to be lasting. On the basis of the author's experience, rejection can be prevented for a longer period provided that the prosthesis is attached with cyanoacrylate on its basis. The importance of the new biopolymeric materials is discussed.
