Keratoprosthetics Interlamellar

Keratoprotection interlamellar (KPI) is a surgical method of vision correction for severe corneal dystrophies. It involves placing a thin plastic disc between the layers of corneal stroma to prevent moisture from penetrating the anterior chamber. This method is intended for the treatment of patients with complex keratopathies such as keratoconus, bullous keratopathy and others.

Features of the KPI method The installation of a plastic disc between the layers of the cornea is carried out in several stages. The surgeon performs an ophthalmoscopy to determine the location and condition of the layers of the cornea. He then implants a thin plastic disc into the patient's corneal tissue using microsurgery.

Keratoprosthesis is a surgical method for treating corneal diseases. During the operation, the surgeon removes damaged corneal tissue and then replaces it with artificial material.

This procedure is considered one of the most complex among all types of eye microsurgery. It allows you to restore damaged areas of the cornea and stop the progression of the disease.

Indications for keratoprotective implantation include: - Keratoconus - Correction of congenital corneal pathologies - Scars after corneal ulcers The main contraindications for the procedure relate to rare diseases or the general condition of the human body. These are cancer, weakened immunity, HIV, allergies. The procedure may not be suitable for everyone. It is strictly contraindicated for patients with inflammatory eye diseases or exacerbation of chronic ones. In this case, the damaged cornea will not accept the inserts and fuse with it properly. Also, the procedure is impossible in the stage of exacerbation of eye infections. Additionally, glaucoma patients must first relieve excess intraocular pressure.
