Abstract

Ocular comorbidities can happen as congenital defective gene associations. We present a 37-year-old female patient who was mentally challenged and had coexisting achromatopsia gene abnormality on genetic analysis. She was operated in childhood for congenital cataract, and posterior chamber intraocular lens (IOL) was implanted at 10 years of age elsewhere. The patient presented 27 years later with luxated IOL with endothelial decompensation. There was a coexisting steep and thin cornea noted on corneal topography. She was managed with pre-Descemet's endothelial keratoplasty with transpositioning of posterior chamber IOL to glued IOL with single-pass four-throw pupilloplasty. Postoperatively, the cornea was clear with centered glued IOL. The lesser postanesthetic challenges and faster rehabilitation are obtained in combination procedures with reduced complications in such rare scenarios.
