Outcomes of Secondary Intraocular Lens Implantation and Descemet Stripping Endothelial Keratoplasty-Comparing Staged Versus Combined Surgical Approach.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

The aim of this study was to compare the outcomes of staged versus combined surgical approach for secondary intraocular lens (IOL) implantation and Descemet stripping endothelial keratoplasty (DSEK).

Methods

This is a retrospective review of 124 eyes from 124 patients who underwent either staged or combined secondary IOL implantation in addition to DSEK over a 5-year period at 2 academic tertiary referral centers, between January 1, 2014, and October 1, 2019. Corrected distance visual acuity (CDVA), presence of graft detachment, primary graft failure (PGF), and cystoid macular edema were documented and analyzed.

Results

The CDVA for the 1- to 2- month follow-up period was significantly better in the staged group compared with the combined group ( P = 0.011). B
