ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to an artificial cornea comprising a transparent optical part placed in an orifice formed in the cornea. Its posterior end is fixed to a support part by being screwed thereto. The support part is pressed against the inside wall of the cornea. To assist in holding the support part, the prosthesis may include a fixing part which exerts forwards traction on the optical part and thus on the support part.
