A novel use of temporary ICL during DMEK to prevent gas-induced opacification of a scleral-fixated Carlevale IOL
Temporary ICL implantation during DMEK may be an effective strategy to prevent gas-induced opacification in eyes with hydrophilic IOLs. Unlike IOL exchange, which adds surgical trauma, or gas-minimizing strategies, which risk detachment, this approach preserves full tamponade while safeguarding IOL clarity.
