| Abstract | A 6-year-old girl, a case of xeroderma pigmentosum (XP), presented with a visual acuity (VA) of 20/20 and 20/400 in the right and left eye, respectively. For a diagnosis of vascularised corneal scar, penetrating keratoplasty was performed in the left eye twice and ultimately graft failed following multiple episodes of rejection. Type I keratoprosthesis was performed in the left eye. She continues to maintain VA of 20/40 in the left eye for more than a year. Similarly, a 24-year-old man, a case of XP, presented with VA of finger counting at 1 metre in both eyes. Ocular examination showed bilateral vascularised corneal scar and conjunctivalisation. Type I keratoprosthesis was performed as primary procedure in the left eye. He maintains a VA of 20/30 for more than a year. Type I keratoprosthesis could be a primary procedure for visual rehabilitation in patients with XP with severe ocular surface disease. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
