Combined Descemet’s membrane endothelial keratoplasty, phacoemulsification and intraocular lens implantation in Fuchs ́dystrophy
نویسندگان
چکیده
METHODS: Prospective, nonrandomized study that included eight eyes of eight patients with concomitant endothelial disease and advanced cataract. In a first group of eight consecutive eyes, combined phacoemulsification, IOL implantation and DMEK were performed. Grafts were inserted with an ICL injector, encapsulated within viscoelastic plugs. Femtosecond laser-assisted descemetorhexis was performed in one case. The main outcome measures were best spectacle corrected visual acuity (BSCVA), endothelial cell density (ECD) and intraand postoperative complications.

We present the case of a 57-year-old woman who had combined Descemet-stripping automated endothelial keratoplasty (DSAEK) and phacoemulsification with implantation of a toric intraocular lens (IOL). Surgery was intended to treat a cataract developing in a post-penetrating keratoplasty (PKP) eye with high astigmatism and endothelial decompensation. Six months after uneventful surgery, the cornea...
