OBJECTIVE To compare the outcome of anterior chamber (AC) intraocular lens (IOL) implantation with the outcome of posterior chamber (PC) IOL implantation at the time of penetrating keratoplasty in the absence of capsular support. METHODS Retrospective study of 122 eyes that underwent secondary IOL implantation without capsular support at the time of penetrating keratoplasty. Ninety eyes received an AC IOL and 32 received a PC IOL sutured to the iris or the ciliary sulcus. RESULTS Survival analysis showed the probability of a clear graft to be 86% for eyes with an AC IOL and 90% for eyes with a PC IOL at 1 year. Intraocular pressure rose by 5 mm Hg or more in 30% of eyes with AC IOLs and 5% of eyes with PC IOLs. Visual acuity was better than 20/200 in 48% of eyes with AC IOLs and 68% of eyes with PC IOLs. CONCLUSIONS This study demonstrated a trend for a better outcome with PC IOLs than AC IOLs for secondary implantation at time of penetrating keratoplasty in the absence of capsular support.

D003315 Cornea The transparent anterior portion of the fibrous coat of the eye consisting of five layers: stratified squamous CORNEAL EPITHELIUM; BOWMAN MEMBRANE; CORNEAL STROMA; DESCEMET MEMBRANE; and mesenchymal CORNEAL ENDOTHELIUM. It serves as the first refracting medium of the eye. It is structurally continuous with the SCLERA, avascular, receiving its nourishment by permeation through spaces between the lamellae, and is innervated by the ophthalmic division of the TRIGEMINAL NERVE via the ciliary nerves and those of the surrounding conjunctiva which together form plexuses.
