Abstract | AIM: PATIENTS: METHODS: Surgery was performed using a motor trephine Keratron (Geuder), the Accurus 800 (Alcon) phacovitrectomy machine, and calculation for intraocular lens implantation (IOL: MZ60BD, Alcon) with a topography (Atlas, Humphrey Zeiss)-supported SRK II formula (OcuScanRxP, Alcon). RESULTS: Although only four of 17 patients had preoperative visual acuity (VA) at 5 m and one of 17 had VA at 1 m, postoperatively seven of 17 patients gained VA at 5 m and six of 17 at 1 m. Ambulatory vision was regained in 13 of 17 (78%) patients. Patients with trachoma and trauma benefited more from the surgery [vision increase in trachoma: eight of 11 eyes (73%); trachoma and trauma: five of five eyes (100%)]. Postoperative spherical refraction was -12.0D to +4.0D (median:+4.0D), and astigmatism ranged from 10D to 0.3D (median 5.35D). One eye was lost because of uncontrolled keratitis. CONCLUSIONS:
