Combined penetrating keratoplasty, extracapsular cataract extraction, and posterior chamber intraocular lens implantation. 1987

M Busin, and R C Arffa, and M B McDonald, and H E Kaufman

We reviewed 22 cases of triple procedure in the last two years at our institution. Six months postoperatively 21 of the 22 transplanted corneas were clear. One graft for herpetic corneal scarring failed. Best corrected visual acuity was 20/40 or better in 14 patients. The average refractive error was--1.31 +/- 2.30 diopters. Refractive astigmatism was 4 diopters or less in 80% of patients. These results, which compare favorably with previous series, indicate the efficacy and safety of this procedure.
