The KPro Study Group was established in 1990 at the Bascom Palmer Eye Institute by Parel, Alfonso, Lacombe and Legeais to foster clinical and basic research on keratoprosthesis, synthetic corneas and artificial corneal implants. This International Group aims to foster the development and improvement of keratoprosthesis worldwide for the benefit of eyecare and our patients. The Group is comprised of researchers and surgeons involved in this specialized field, and regular conferences are held to facilitate communication and research development.
