Purpose:To observe the effects of perforating prosthokeratoplasty on patients with leucoma who failed in keratoplasty or were not suitable for keratoplasty, and improved their vision.Methods:Five cases with leucoma (4 with chemical burn and 1 with blast) received Yakimenko Style keratoprosthesis implantation. Preoperative examination showed the visual acuity in 4 of the 5 cases was light perception, and that of the other one was FC/20 cm. The light orientation in 3 patients was definite, and that in the other two was indefinite.Results:The vision improved in 4 of 5 patients in the follow-up period of 9 months to 3 years. Their visual acuity showed 0.09 to 0.8. And there was no change of vision in the other 1 case.Conclutions:Prosthokeratoplasty is the first choice for rehabilitation of the blind that have leucoma but are not suitable for or failed in penetrating keratoplasty. Eye Science 2003;19:146-149.
