Permanent keratoprosthesis combined with pars plana vitrectomy and silicone oil injection for visual rehabilitation of chronic hypotony and corneal opacity.

abstract：:Keratoconus is a bilateral disorder of corneal shape which may be sporadic or genetically determined. Early corneal thinning suggests that a functional loss of structural elements is a primary event in the disease. Tensile strength of the cornea is reduced and is expressed by signs of rupture and scarring in Bowman's ...
