The Osteo‐odonto‐keratoprosthesis (OOKP) is a time tested procedure. It is the only KPro with a proven long term track record. There has been a steady improvement in patient selection, surgical techniques, optical cylinder design, and perioperative management protocol, which have resulted in improved outcomes. We aim to present the visual, retention, and complications results from the UK national cohort of OOKP patients.
