OOKP that is Osteo-Odonto Keratoprosthesis is a special surgery. You can call it tooth in eye. Yes its amazing as the name gives an idea in our mind that tooth in kept in eye. Actually a canine tooth is removed from the patient’s mouth and the tooth is shaped and drilled to allow implantation of optical cylinder. At last it is then planted into the patient’s eye after a few months.
It was first conducted on a 19 year old boy and it brought to a big success. This surgery can to used for those patients who has a lot of damage in their corneas and front part of eye and eyelid. This surgery has proved itself even in those places were doctors have found no way to do anything.
I saw this technology first in newspaper and was very much fascinated about the way it is done. The news said that a 29 year old lady got back her sight who lost it at an age of 12th.
See here how the technology has grown…getting sight with the help of a teeth amazing na…the person who has found it must be really appreciated.
