Long-term results of keratoplasty in eyes with intraocular lenses.
We present a retrospective study of our patients who had penetrating keratoplasty in eyes which had intraocular lenses in situ. Our results show that although the short-term result was good with any kind of intraocular lenses, the long-term (more than five years) graft survival was better if intraocular lenses with pre-iridial optics were removed and/or replaced at the time of the grafting with posterior chamber lenses.
