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.
