A perforating keratoprosthesis was implanted on five patients with densely vascularized leukoma of the cornea. Two of the patients experienced no or minimal visual improvement due to posterior segment pathology. Considerable visual improvement was achieved for the other three patients. Extrusion of the prosthesis frequently occured but it could be replaced without loss of the visual gain.
