EyeCan Season 6, Episode 11 - Osteo-odonto-keratoprosthesis (OOKP) with guest Dr. Greg Moloney

In this episode, we explore osteo-odonto-keratoprosthesis (OOKP)—the groundbreaking “tooth-in-eye” surgery that offers hope to patients with severe corneal blindness who have exhausted all other options. We break down how the procedure works, who qualifies, and what recovery and outcomes look like. The conversation also examines access to this highly specialized surgery in Canada, including referral pathways, wait times, and system-level challenges. Finally, we look at the ethical considerations and the future of OOKP, highlighting how innovation continues to expand possibilities for restoring sight.

With your host, Dr. Hady Saheb.

Written and Directed by Kim Tytler.
