Intraocular lens implantation combined with penetrating keratoplasty
Ophthalmic Surgery
|June 1, 1977
Abstract:
A restrospective analysis was conducted of 27 cases of penetrating keratoplasty associated with intraocular lens implantation. Although not statistically significant, the results indicated an 80% success rate when penetrating keratoplasty, cataract extraction and intraocular lens implantation were combined in a single operation. Secondary implantation of intraocular lenses in cases of previous keratoplasty were unsuccessful in all three cases.
