King Khaled Eye Hospital Restores Patient’s Vision in Middle East’s First-of-Its-Kind Surgery

A medical team at King Khaled Eye Specialist Hospital (KKESH) successfully restored the sight of a Saudi patient following a surgery to implant a Boston Type II Keratoprosthesis (B-KPro II), a pioneering artificial cornea procedure performed for the first time in the Middle East.
 This is one of the rare procedures performed worldwide, requiring advanced surgical expertise, and is typically conducted only at leading international referral centers.
 Performing such advanced procedures places KKESH among the world’s leading ophthalmic institutions, distinguished by its comprehensive eye care services, localization of medical expertise, and commitment to excellence in patient care.
