Endothelial keratoplasty for bullous keratopathy in eyes with an anterior chamber intraocular lens

Abstract

Bullous keratopathy treatment in eyes with an AC IOL was feasible with DMEK. Intraocular lens removal may be required if postoperative complications are anticipated, but not to facilitate surgery. Overall, the surgical approach may aim to minimize postoperative complications; that is, thin-DSEK in eyes with low visual potential and/or concomitant pathology and DMEK in eyes with a phakic AC IOL and normal visual potential.
