ABSTRACT
The Boston Keratoprosthesis type I (KPro-I) has been shown to be successful in restoring vision after severe ocular burns; however, its long-term outcomes in phthisical eyes have rarely been reported. A monocular woman with a history of severe alkali chemical injury necessitating facial transplantation presented with a light perception left eye after a complicated course, including failed KPro-I, therapeutic penetrating keratoplasty, endophthalmitis, hypotony, total retinal detachment, and structural changes, including a shrunken 18 mm axial length and eye wall thickening. The patient underwent a combined vitrectomy with silicone oil and KPro-I implantation, resulting in her regaining ambulatory visual acuity (20/250) at 3 years' follow-up.
