Patient-Reported Vision-Related Quality of Life After Boston Type I Keratoprosthesis

Purpose: To determine patient-reported vision-related quality of life (VR-QoL) after Boston type I keratoprosthesis (BKPro) and its determinants. Methods: A cross-sectional study including consecutive consenting BKPro patients was conducted. The French National Eye Institute Visual Function Questionnaire-25 measured postoperative VR-QoL. Medical charts were retrospectively reviewed for demographics, ocular comorbidities, indication for surgery, postoperative visual acuity (VA), and complications. Univariate analyses were used to identify VR-QoL determinants. Multivariate linear regression was additionally performed for patients operated unilaterally, using VR-QoL as the dependent variable and age, sex, and postoperative VA as covariates. P
