Toric IOL in Combined DMEK and Cataract Surgery

INTRODUCTION: Descemet membrane endothelial keratoplasty (DMEK) is the current gold standard surgical procedure to treat Fuchs endothelial keratoplasty. Cataract removal and intraocular lens (IOL) implantation can be safely combined with this corneal procedure. This paper presents a case series in w...

description INTRODUCTION: Descemet membrane endothelial keratoplasty (DMEK) is the current gold standard surgical procedure to treat Fuchs endothelial keratoplasty. Cataract removal and intraocular lens (IOL) implantation can be safely combined with this corneal procedure. This paper presents a case series in which a toric intraocular lens (IOL) was used in combined DMEK and cataract surgery to correct corneal astigmatism. METHODS: Four eyes that had a toric IOL implanted in combined cataract and DMEK surgery were included. RESULTS: There was a reduction in manifest refractive cylinder and improvement in uncorrected and best-corrected vision in all cases. DISCUSSION: Surgeons may consider the use of toric IOLs in selected cases of combined DMEK and cataract surgery for Fuchs endothelial dystrophy.
