Abstract
Ten eyes of nine patients with endothelial dystrophy requiring iridectomy for acute angle-closure glaucoma developed corneal edema sufficient to require penetrating keratoplasty. Because of the proximity of iris to cornea, simultaneous lens extraction was carried out to prevent malignant glaucoma. Penetrating keratoplasty using techniques presented here provided improved visual acuity and control of glaucoma in all cases.
