An 84-year-old monocular woman was referred to our institution for the management of corneal decompensation in her only eye, the right eye. The patient had secondary implantation of an anterior chamber iris-claw intraocular lens (IOL) for IOL dislocation in the setting of pseudoexfoliation syndrome 2 years before presentation. Descemet-stripping automated endothelial keratoplasty (DSAEK) combined with retropupillary repositioning of the iris-claw IOL using a flipping technique was performed for the treatment of corneal edema. No intraoperative or postoperative complications occurred. Six months post-operatively, the corneal graft was attached and clear and the retropupillary iris-claw IOL was well positioned. The uncorrected distance visual acuity and corrected distance visual acuity improved from counting fingers preoperatively to 20/200 and 20/63, respectively, after surgery. Combined DSAEK and retropupillary refixation of a prepupillary iris-claw IOL using the flipping technique was a safe technique in this patient with corneal decompensation. (C) 2019 ASCRS and ESCRS
