Techniques of flexible intraocular lens insertion during keratoplasty

Abstract

Aphakic and pseudophakic corneal edema have become the primary indication for corneal transplantation. At the time of this surgery, implantation of an intraocular lens (IOL) may be considered. We describe our technique for inserting a flexible anterior chamber IOL during keratoplasty to avoid any damage to intraocular structures.
