  • Title: [Histopathologic study following optic keratoprosthesis. A case report].
    Author: Jähne M, Büttner W.
    Journal: Klin Monbl Augenheilkd; 1984 Dec; 185(6):531-4. PubMed ID: 6527508.
    Abstract:
    The authors present the case history of a patient in whom an optical keratoprosthesis was implanted after recurrent corneal ulcers in aphakia at the age of 80. The globe was examined histologically post mortem. A solid retroprosthetic membrane, a hemorrhage in the vitreous and retinal detachment after trauma were found to be the causes of the visual disorder. Wound healing following implantation of a keratoprosthesis is discussed in the light of the histopathological findings.
