title: Rotational autograft, reconstruction of the anterior segment, and intraocular lens implantation.
abstract: Six patients were affected by extensive central corneal scars and disruption of the anterior segment. Reconstruction of the anterior segment, synechialysis, membranectomy, and vitrectomy were performed as first-step procedures. Rotational autografts combined with either anterior or posterior chamber intraocular lens implantation were then performed. The results in this series of severely traumatized eyes were satisfactory with a follow-up of three years.
