The CorNeat KPro is a patent pending fully artificial cornea (no donor required) which provides a life-long solution for corneal blindness, pathology, and injury.
Its novel approach, technology and surgical procedure bio-mechanically integrate artificial optics within resident ocular tissue.
The CorNeat KPro wide aperture acrylic lens, identical in optical quality to the native non-astigmatic cornea, is surrounded by a non-degradable synthetic polymer skirt-like scaffold that mimics the native Extra-Cellular-Matrix and stimulates cellular growth and infiltration. The CorNeat KPro integrates underneath the conjunctiva, a site rich with fibroblasts, which heals vigorously.
As a result, the CorNeat KPro skirt assimilates within the eyewall tissue providing a no follow-up life-long solution.
CorNeat KPro and its implant procedure is 50% cheaper than traditional corneal implant hence an affordable remedy for millions of people with cornea-related visual impairments.
