Artificial corneas known as keratoprostheses were developed to manage high-risk patients by replacing the basic functions of light transmission into the eye for vision, and protection of the soft inner contents of the eyeball. Most prostheses have an optic for transmitting light and a shirt for the integration of the device into the patients’ corneas. The most successful models have been "biosynthetic" ones, which combine a biological skirt with a synthetic plastic optic. These include the osteo-odonto-keratoprosthesis(OOKP) [that] uses a toothor bone for the skirt... 1, record 1, English, - osteo%2Dodonto%2Dkeratoprosthesis

The OOKP is made partly of toothand jawbone tissue to help prevent rejection of the implant. OOKP surgery is reserved for those with bilateral(in both eyes) corneal blindness. 4, record 2, English, - osteo%2Dodonto%2Dkeratoprosthesis%20surgery
