Chow, BS,* Amol D. Kulkarni, MD,* Daniel M. Albert, MD, MS,* Jason K. Darlington, MD,† and David R. Hardten, MD†‡ biointegration of the implant by cellular ingrowth and collagen Purpose: To describe the clinical presentation and histopathologic deposition. The device measures 7.0 mm in diameter and findings in a case of explantation of an AlphaCor artificial cornea 0.5 mm in thickness and has a refractive index of 1.43. implant caused by exposure of the skirt. Implantation of this device involves a 2-stage surgery. The first stage involves insertion of the device within a lamellar Methods: We describe the case report of a 46-year-old man who corneal pocket, and the second stage involves exposure of the suffered trauma to the right eye, resulting in 4 failed penetrating device’s central optic by removal of the anterior-corneal keratoplasties (PKPs). Subsequently, an AlphaCor implantation was lamella. The histologic findings after explantation of performed with some visual improvement. Slightly more than 2 years AlphaCor implants caused by various complications have after the implant, skirt exposure occurred,
