    The study evaluated combined penetrating keratoplasty and intrascleral fixation of a four-haptic intraocular lens in five aphakic patients.

  • 2

    Mean best-corrected visual acuity improved significantly from 3.00 logMAR preoperatively to 1.04 logMAR at 6 months post-surgery.

  • 3

    Four out of five grafts remained clear after the procedure, indicating favorable short-term anatomical outcomes.

  • 4

    Intraocular pressure remained stable, with no significant changes observed postoperatively.
