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.Keywords: Descemet membrane endothelial keratoplasty, DMEK, Fuchs endothelial dystrophy, toric intraocular lens, astigmatism, triple procedure |
