Abstract
Pseudophakic bullous keratopathy is a major deterrent to visual recovery after a complicated cataract surgery. Decentered intraocular lenses (IOLs) incite chronic inflammation that often leads to bullous keratopathy. The triple procedure of glued IOL allows secondary IOL fixation along with single-pass four-throw pupilloplasty that prevents the slippage of air into the vitreous cavity and maintains air tamponade followed by pre-Descemet's endothelial keratoplasty that supplants the endothelial layer, thereby retaining its functionality.Entities:
