An osteo-odonto keratoprosthesis(OOKP) is a type of prosthetic cornea. OOKP surgery, also called tooth in eye surgery, is a multi-stage procedure to create the prosthetic and implant it in the eye. The OOKP is made partly of tooth and jawbone tissue to help prevent rejection of the implant. OOKP surgery is reserved for those with bilateral(in both eyes) corneal blindness. 4, record 1, English, - osteo%2Dodonto%2Dkeratoprosthesis%20surgery

Oculoplastic surgery is specialised plastic surgery around the eyelids and face. It is also called oculo-facial surgery as the eyelids are continuous with the forehead, cheeks and deals with the related tear system(lacrimal) and orbits(deeper structures surrounding the eyeball). Surgery is primarily for abnormalities of the eyelids and their surrounding tissues, including their position and contour, in order to maintain, restore or improve function and appearance. This includes eyelid cysts and tumours, malpositions such as drooping eyelids(ptosis), staring eyes in thyroid eye disease, watering eyes and artificial(prosthetic) eyes. 3, record 7, English, - oculoplastic%20surgery

[In photorefractive keratectomy (PRK)] the laser is used to remove the outer layer of the cornea and flatten the cornea. The flattening of the cornea is intended to correct myopia (nearsightedness) and astigmatism (uneven curvature of the cornea that distorts vision). PRK is an ambulatory procedure done in the office with numbing eye drops. It takes about a minute to do and about 3 days to heal. No eye patch need be worn after PRK. 2, record 8, English, - photorefractive%20keratectomy
