title: New surgical approach in cases of cataract with ocular Stevens-Johnson syndrome.
abstract: We describe the intraoperative difficulties encountered in cases of ocular Stevens-Johnson syndrome as a result of a poor ocular surface, the presence of symblepharon, and varying degrees of corneal opacity with secondary poor visibility of anterior segment structures. Modifications to the standard phacoemulsification technique enabled safe and successful completion of the surgery in these cases.
