Japanese KeraKlear Patient Interview
May 4, 2015
Watch an interview with a Japanese cornea blind patient that achieved 20/20 vision with the KeraKlear artificial cornea. The patient underwent KeraKlear surgery by Kazuo Tsubota, MD, Chairman of Ophthalmology at Keio University, Tokyo, Japan.
Variable Thickness Foldable Non-Penetrating Artificial Cornea
The new KeraKlear XT models of the KeraKlear Artificial Cornea can now be implanted at variable depths to treat a wide variety of corneal conditions. Depths range from 200 to 700 microns in 100 micron steps to allow customized treatment of keratoconus, stromal corneal opacities, and corneal edema.

Keraklear Implantation Using Z6 Ziemer Laser for the treatment of anterior stroma leukoma
November 30, 2014
An anterior stromal opacity was treated, implanting a foldable artificial cornea (KeraKlear) into a 400 microns depth, 8 mm diameter stromal pocket made using a Z6 Ziemer femtosecond laser.
The patient improved her vision from 20/200 to 20/70. At this time, 4 months post-op no adverse reactions or corneal complications were observed.

KeraKlear - Foldable Acrylic Inlay Keratoprosthesis
October 22, 2013
John A. Kanellopoulos, MD, demonstrates the preparation of the KeraKlear II artificial cornea and shares the first clinical application in a patient. This is a cornea bottom of 3.8mm diameter 400 microns depth the preparation video. This was a fresh donor cornea that had flash CXL in a 400 depth pocket 7.2 joules, 20mW for about 6 min and then again has epithelium removed, soaking with 0.25% ribo for 10 minutes and same flash CXL treatment on the surface.
