{PURPOSE:} To report 3 cases of simultaneous Descemet stripping automated endothelial keratoplasty ({DSAEK)} and aphakic iris-fixated intraocular lens ({IOL)} implantation in patients with aphakia and bullous keratopathy. {METHODS:} We retrospectively documented the clinical characteristics of patients before and after simultaneous {DSAEK} and aphakic iris-fixated {IOL} implantation undergoing operation between November 2008 and September 2009. {RESULTS:} None of the cases showed any intraoperative complications. During the postoperative period, the corneal lenticule was clear and well-attached, and the iris-fixated {IOL} was well-positioned. {CONCLUSIONS:} Simultaneous {DSAEK} and aphakic iris-fixated {IOL} implantation can be used successfully and simultaneously in patients with aphakia and bullous keratopathy.

Abstract
{PURPOSE:} To report 3 cases of simultaneous Descemet stripping automated endothelial keratoplasty ({DSAEK)} and aphakic iris-fixated intraocular lens ({IOL)} implantation in patients with aphakia and bullous keratopathy. {METHODS:} We retrospectively documented the clinical characteristics of patients before and after simultaneous {DSAEK} and aphakic iris-fixated {IOL} implantation undergoing operation between November 2008 and September 2009. {RESULTS:} None of the cases showed any intraoperative complications. During the postoperative period, the corneal lenticule was clear and well-attached, and the iris-fixated {IOL} was well-positioned. {CONCLUSIONS:} Simultaneous {DSAEK} and aphakic iris-fixated {IOL} implantation can be used successfully and simultaneously in patients with aphakia and bullous keratopathy.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
