Purpose of Study

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the clinical safety and performance of the CorNeat Keratoprosthesis (KPro). The CorNeat KPro is a synthetic cornea developed to provide a long-lasting medical solution for corneal blindness, pathology and injury. The solution is designed to provide an accessible, efficient, effective and reliable remedy for people with cornea-related visual impairments.

Eligible participants will undergo a procedure to implant the keratoprosthesis. Following this, a total of 16 follow-up visits would be scheduled post operation.
