First Artificial Cornea Transplant (Boston KPro) Success in Hong Kong Private Hospital Brings Hope to Patients with Repeated Corneal Graft Failures
Hong Kong Sanatorium & Hospital (HKSH) has become the first private hospital in Hong Kong to have successfully performed artificial cornea implant (Boston Keratoprosthesis) on a patient with previous corneal graft failures. The application of this new technology brings hope of restoring vision to patients suffering from serious corneal injuries or auto-immune and inflammatory diseases.
Due to the shortage of supply, patients in Hong Kong need to wait for an average of 2-3 years for cornea transplant. In addition to applying for corneas from Lions Eye Bank of Hong Kong, HKSH also helps patients to apply the corneas from the Eye bank of United States since August 2012, in order to ease the shortage of corneas, minimise the waiting time for cornea transplant and reduce the impact of disease deterioration.
