[Complications of the combined cataract-keratoplasty operation].
The results of 43 corneal graft operations combined with cataract extraction were investigated. The visual acuity was improved in 63% of cases in spite of the fact that some eyes were suffering from additional diseases or had prior operations. Complications of surgical procedure were rare. Postoperatively a raise of intraocular pressure was sometimes noted. In postinflammatory and post-traumatic cases, corneal opacifications were frequent, but they were rare in keratoconus or in endothelial corneal dystrophies.
