Background: It is known that RK cuts inherently weaken the integrity of the cornea. RK incision dehiscence after conventional phacoemulsification with clear corneal incision has been reported. Phacoemulsification and intraocular lens (IOL) implantation through a 2.8 mm clear corneal incision or scleral tunnel in SICS after 8 or 12 RK cuts is safe, but with risk of dehiscence in eyes with 16 RK cuts. It has been suggested that using a shorter clear corneal incision or a scleral tunnel incision may be safer.
Method: we are presenting a video showing Phacoemulsification and SICS in eyes with cataract and previous RK surgery.
Conclusion: Phacoemulsification/SICS and IOL implantation with clear corneal or scleral incisions in eyes with previous RK were associated with good surgical outcomes
