Auro KPro is an artificial cornea, used in cases of severe corneal opacity when a standard corneal opacity does not succeed
Product Description
An artificial cornea (keratoprosthesis) used to treat corneal opacity which provides good central vision.
Auro K pro design is similar to Boston Keratoprosthesis.
The KPro is made of clinical grade PMMA.
It consists of three parts,
The front part (front plate with stem)
The back plate
The lock ring
Optical properties:
The KPros are manufactured to match the refractive need of the individual patient according to their lens status. (phakic /aphakic/ pseudophakic)
For the eye that is pseudophakic and therefore, approximately emmetropic, and where the IOL is left in place at surgery, a single standard power (45 D) is manufactured
For aphakic eyes of different axial lengths, however, devices with varying degrees of power are made to allow a match to the patient’s need as closely as possible.
Thus, the axial length of the individual aphakic patient is always requested from the surgeon to allow the choice of a KPro that theoretically matches the dioptric requirement of the eye to be operated.
Post operative outcome after keratoprosthesis:
Improved vision restricted to the center field
Immediate recovery period
Post op antibiotic usage throughout their life time.
