Is Boston K- Pro Lens Operation Feasible For The Elderly ?
My grandfather 92 years old had 5 cornea transplant surgery. Now the left eye has a visibility of 3 meter and right has visibility of 1 meter. It is recommended for Boston K- Pro lens operation for him.
I would like to know would this be feasible for an operation for him again at this age.

Hello
It seems from the history that that your grandmother has undergone corneal transplant surgery for 5 times.
Hence Boston K prosthesis is a good option in her and age is not a problem she can undergo the surgery in the eye with poor vision, in her case right eye.
Thank you
