Abstract

Presence of cataract in an eye with corneal disease is not an uncommon phenomena and such a situation often warrants a simultaneous corneal transplantation surgery and cataract removal with intraocular lens implantation. Such a procedure is called as a Triple procedure and corneal surgeons all over the world are well conversant with the nuances of this procedure. Usually the cataract surgery is performed simultaneously with a corneal transplantation surgery using an open sky method. However, some surgeons prefer to perform these surgeries in a sequential manner which entails carrying out of cataract surgery as a first procedure followed by corneal transplantation couple of months later. The suture less descemet’s stripping automated endothelial keratoplasty triple procedure offers the advantages of fast visual rehabilitation after surgery. The use of this surgical technique might reduce the overall health care costs and will save an extra trip to the operating room.
