Abstract:AIM:To treat the patients with cararact and ceratonosus that need to be cured simultaneously with interlaced non-phacoemulsification cataract extraction,intraocular lens implantation and keratoplasty(triple procedure)and to observe and analyze the clinical effects of the triple procedure.METHODS:Twenty-one cases 21 eyes with cararact and ceratonosus were performed the triple procedure,and visual acuity,corneal grafts were observed. Follow-up period lasted for 4 months to 9 months postoperatively.RESULTS:The naked vision of 92% eyes were improved compared with that of the preoperative. In 9 cases (43%) visual acuity was over 0.5 after 2 weeks,and 10 cases (48%) over 0.3,2 cases (10%) were 0.1. All the corneal grafts were completely transparent 7 to 14 days after operation. Corneal grafts of 17 cases were completely transparent 4 to 9 months after operation,and corneal grafts of 3 cases were semitransparent. There was 1 case whose corneal graft was moderately turbid with neovessels.CONCLUSION:Interlaced non-phacoemulsification cataract extraction,keratoplasty and intraocular lens implantation can cure the patients’ refracting media turbidity of forepart eye and help them to get perception function at one time. Compared to the traditional thipe procedure,the interlaced tripe procedure can decrease trauma and post-operative complications with high safety.
