Tender description

Osteo-odonto-keratoprosthesis (OOKP) is a highly specialist surgical intervention that can restore meaningful vision to patients suffering from end stage corneal blindness, and for whom conventional corneal surgery is not possible for reasons such as severe 'dry eyes' that causes heavy scarring of the cornea. Osteo-odonto-keratoprosthesis (OOKP) uses the patient's own tooth root and alveolar bone to support an optical cylinder and is only considered in end stage corneal disease when there is no other available treatment to restore sight. NHS England would like to identify NHS Trusts who are interested in delivering these services in accordance with the specification.
