Association between Retro-prosthetic Membrane Formation and Angle Closure Complicating Boston Keratoprosthesis.

Faris Ishak Faris Karas;

Abstract


To investigate the relationship between retroprosthetic membrane (RPM) formation and angle closure that commonly occurs after Boston type 1 Keratoprosthesis (KPro) implantation and is a major causative factor for elevated intraocular pressure (IOP), secondary glaucoma, and vision loss. RPM is the most common complication after KPro surgery and we believe it could play a causative role in development of angle closure in eyes with KPro.
