Why is it obsolete?

  I'd like an answer that is more than just a sound bite.

  They still do it, obviously, but we have better artificial corneas now.

    Could you share the source you found please? Not that i’m doubting you. Just that i also did some poking around and found this statement published in 2013: “The Falcinelli OOKP (MOOKP), where adequately performed, is now recognised internationally as giving the best, long-term visual and retention results among all keratoprostheses, especially in a dry eye.” [1] Curious if the difference between what you found and what i found is time (perhaps what was in 2013 the best threatment has been superseeded by better ones since), or differences in opinions among practicioners. Especially because the “where adequately performed” sentence part makes my spider sense tingle about the one i found. 1: https://www.nature.com/articles/sj.bdj.2013.383 https://www.nature.com/articles/sj.bdj.2013.383

      I don't know, maybe I'm wrong? This was from casual searching a couple hours ago.

        No worries, and thank you for giving it a thought!
