Abstract

APHAKIC BULLOUS KERATOPATHY FOLLOWING COMPLICATED CATARACT SURGERY IS COMMONLY ENCOUNTERED IN OUR DAY TO DAY CLINICAL PRACTICE. SURGICAL MANAGEMENT OF THESE CASES INCLUDE COMBINING ENDOTHELIAL KERATOPLASTY AND IMPLANTATION OF A SECONDARY INTRAOCULAR LENS WHICH CAN PROVE QUITE CHALLENGING TO ANY CORNEAL SURGEON. THERE ARE A PLETHORA OF OPTIONS AVAILABLE, BOTH FOR ENDOTHELIAL KERATOPLASTY ( DSAEK, DMEK ) AS WELL AS SECONDARY IOL ( ANTERIOR CHAMBER INTRAOCULAR LENS, SCLERAL FIXATED INTRAOCULAR LENS AND IRIS FIXATED INTRAOCULAR LENS), EACH WITH THEIR DISTINCTIVE PROS AND CONS. METICULOUS SURGICAL PLANNING INCLUDING DETAILED PRE OPERATIVE EVALUATION, CHOICE OF APPROPRIATE IOL AND KNOW HOW OF TACKLING COMPLICATIONS WILL MAXIMISE VISUAL OUTCOMES IN THESE COMPLEX EYES.

IN THIS IC, WE WILL PRESENT A DETAILED CASE AND VIDEO BASED APPROACH TO THE MANAGEMENT OF ABK DETAILING PATIENT SELECTION CRITERIA, TECHNIQUES OF DIFFERENT IOL S AND NUANCES OF PERFORMING CONCOMITANT ENDOTHELIAL KERATOPLASTY.
