    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Corneal Surgery
    • Intraocular Lens Implantation

    Background:

    • Aphakic ametropia, often resulting from cataract surgery, requires correction.
    • Traditional correction methods include intraocular lenses and glasses.
    • Alloplastic materials have been used for refractive correction in aphakia.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To present the outcomes of combined cataract extraction and keratophakia.
    • To evaluate the potential of this combined procedure as a refractive correction method.
    • To compare this technique with the use of alloplastic materials.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of 18 cases undergoing combined cataract extraction and keratophakia.
    • Surgical technique details not specified, focusing on outcomes.

    Related Experiment Videos

  • Data collection on the correction of aphakic ametropia.

    • Main Results:

    • Initial results from 18 cases are presented.
    • The combined procedure demonstrated efficacy in correcting aphakic ametropia.
    • No specific complication rates or visual acuity data provided in the abstract.

    Conclusions:

    • Combined cataract extraction and keratophakia represent a viable option for managing aphakic ametropia.
    • This technique may serve as a substitute for alloplastic materials.
    • It can be utilized as either a primary or secondary surgical intervention.
