Purpose: To compare the clinical outcomes and complications of Descemet-stripping automated endothelial keratoplasty (DSAEK) with a transscleral-sutured intraocular lens (IOL) and solitary DSAEK.
Setting: Department of Ophthalmology, Tokyo Dental College, Chiba, Japan.
Design: Retrospective case series.
Methods: Cases with simultaneous transscleral-sutured IOLs or post-transscleral-sutured IOLs and solitary DSAEK cases were studied. The logMAR acuity, astigmatism, endothelial cell density (ECD), graft survival rate, and complications (eg, IOL dislocation, cystoid macular edema [CME]) were analyzed.
Results: Thirty-seven DSAEK cases with simultaneous transscleral-sutured IOLs or post-transscleral-sutured IOLs and 147 solitary DSAEK cases were evaluated. The logMAR corrected distance visual acuity (CDVA) improved significantly at 24 months, from 1.34 ± 0.49 (SD) to 0.48 ± 0.38 after DSAEK with transscleral-sutured IOLs and from 1.17 ± 0.69 to 0.17 ± 0.25 after solitary DSAEK. The logMAR CDVA after DSAEK with transscleral-sutured IOLs was significantly worse than that with solitary DSAEK at 6, 12, and 24 months (P < .01). The postoperative astigmatism with DSAEK with transscleral-sutured IOLs was significantly higher than with solitary DSAEK because of the larger sclerocorneal incision (P < .02). There were no significant differences in ECD or graft survival rates between DSAEK with transscleral-sutured IOLs and solitary DSAEK. The incidence of CME in DSAEK with transscleral-sutured IOLs (4/37 eyes [11%]) was higher than with solitary DSAEK (2/147 [1.4%]) (P = .02). The CME resolved with topical diclofenac and sub-Tenon injection of triamcinolone acetonide in all eyes.
Conclusion: The graft survival rates after DSAEK with transscleral-sutured IOLs were equivalent to those after solitary DSAEK, although the incidence of CME was higher than after solitary DSAEK.

Department of Ophthalmology, Kanazawa University Graduate School of Medical Science, Kanazawa, Japan.
Purpose: To describe a modified technique for Descemet membrane endothelial keratoplasty (DMEK) in vitrectomized eyes that had undergone transscleral-sutured intraocular lens (IOL) implantation (IOL-suture) and pars plana vitrectomy.
Methods: This was a prospective interventional case series. Patients exhibiting endothelial dysfunction with aphakia, or dislocated IOLs, who underwent IOL-suture and pars plana vitrectomy, were enrolled.
