Glued intraocular lens with descemet stripping endothelial keratoplasty in aphakic bullous keratopathy
Journal Title: Medical Journal Armed Forces - Year 2018, Vol 74, Issue 2
Abstract
Recent advances in the field of cataract surgery have reduced the number of surgical complications. However, pseudophakic and aphakic bullous keratopathy (ABK) still continue to account for approximately 13% of corneal transplantations in India.1 Endothelial keratoplasty has now become the procedure of choice for treatment of these disorders. In spite of theseadvances, treatment of ABK still continues to pose a challenge as regards the visual outcome since any corneal transplantation procedure will not achieve good visual outcomes in the absence of an intraocular lens (IOL).
