There is no significant difference in the incidence of primary graft failure or in the rate of secondary graft failure or endothelial rejection in eyes with ACIOL retention or exchange. However, as IOLX is associated with intraoperative and postoperative complications and an increased rate of postoperative intraocular pressure elevation, we recommend performing DSAEK with retention of well-positioned ACIOLs in these eyes.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
