| Abstract |
To evaluate the efficacy of combined procedure of Descemet's membrane endothelial keratoplasty (DMEK) and posterior iris-claw-fixated intra ocular lens (IOL) implantation in the management of aphakic bullous keratopathy (ABK). Sankara eye centre, a tertiary eye care centre. A prospective case series analysis. A prospective study comprised ten eyes of ten patients who underwent DMEK and posterior iris-claw-fixated IOL. Mean follow-up period was 12-36 months. Pre-operative and post-operative best corrected visual acuity (BCVA), endothelial cell density (ECD) and complications were noted. A total ten eyes of ten patients underwent DMEK. Out of ten patients BCVA improved from 1.00 to 1.60 LogMAR with mean and SD of 1.40 ± 0.20 to +0.20-0.40 LogMAR with mean and SD of 0.30 ± 0.07, with a significant p value of <0.001, Mean ECD of the donor tissue pre-operatively was 2367 cells, whereas 24 months post-operatively it was reduced to 1798 cells. Mean reduction in ECD pre procedure and post procedure was 569 (24 %). Iris-fixated IOL appears to offer simplicity in implantation and may be combined with DMEK in ABK. This procedure provides a faster visual recovery than other endothelial keratoplasties with iris-fixated IOL. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 3. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 02 September 2015.
All research outputs
#13,369,595
of 22,824,164 outputs
Outputs from International Ophthalmology
#260
of 1,034 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#124,605
of 266,176 outputs
Outputs of similar age from International Ophthalmology
#2
of 22 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,824,164 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 41st percentile – i.e., 41% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 1,034 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 2.2. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 74% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 266,176 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 52% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 22 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 90% of its contemporaries.
