An analysis of the effects of secondary intraocular lens implantation on the clinical results of corneal transplantation in four groups of eyes showed that the mean visual acuity in 27 eyes undergoing intraocular lens implant at the time of aphakic keratoplasty and in 12 eyes undergoing intraocular lens implantation after corneal transplant was approximately 20/40; the visual acuity in 24 eyes undergoing intraocular lens exchange at the time of transplant for pseudophakic bullous keratopathy and in 18 eyes undergoing intraocular lens removal at the time of transplant for pseudophakic bullous keratopathy was poorer. The techniques used were simple and did not increase the incidence of transplant complications. Intraocular lens implantation combined with corneal transplants should be considered in aphakic eyes requiring corneal transplants, in eyes requiring simultaneous cataract extraction and corneal transplants, and in eyes in which cataracts have developed after corneal transplant.
