2-year functional survival (visual acuity better than 1.30 logMAR or 20/400 Snellen): 63% for OOKP and 49% for OKP; 10-year functional survival (visual acuity better than 1.30 logMAR or 20/400 Snellen): 38% for OOKP and 17% for OKP [6] Another long-term study of 181 patients puts the chances of retaining an intact OOKP after 18 years at 85%.
