Surgery for the left eye of the study patient. a Corneal clouding as a result of bullous keratopathy. b After PKP, four 25G ports were made for PPV. c Laser irradiation for repositioning of the detached retina. The view through the transplanted donor cornea was good.

We initially performed conventional PKP followed by 25G PPV without the use of a keratoprosthesis (Fig. 1).
Anterior ocular segment images of the patient's left eye before (a) and 6 months after surgery (b). a Corneal clouding was apparent due to bullous keratopathy, and the cornea appeared thickened. Left and right images were obtained with a slitlamp microscope and by optical coherence tomography, respectively. b The transplanted cornea was clear and of normal thickness.

Images obtained from the patient before and 6 months after the surgery are shown in Figure 2 and 3, and other findings are presented in Table 1.
Posterior ocular segment images of the patient's left eye before (a) and 6 months after surgery (b). a Retinal detachment was apparent by optical coherence tomography (right), but it was difficult to perform funduscopy (left). b The transplanted cornea remained clear, so it was possible to perform funduscopy, and retinal redetachment had not occurred.
