[blindkid] Question regariding Boston Keratoprosthesis

[elizaellett at yahoo.com]

Hello Ray, 
I'm sure you've heard of the Cincinnati Eye Institute, that's where "all" the aniridic families go....unfortunately, I haven't heard anything about Boston's, but I have only heard good things on their regular opthamology dept. Actually considered moving there for my little Aniridic, took her to Cinci and they confirmed that I have a great Opth.here in Chicago, he's only dealt with the cataracts and pressures so far thankfully. Did you come here last year for the conference?
Sincerely,
Eliza

Subject: [blindkid] Question regariding Boston Keratoprosthesis

Hello  all
 
   My son's cornea is getting really bad and three Dr. s have stated that a regular cornea transplant may not help, and the body may reject it.  We were told that in the long run it may not be worth the operation.  My son also has Anaridia and problems with the eye presure but, it is now under control.  
Has anybody heard or has gone thru with the Boston Keatoprosthesis . ??
 
Thanks
