Abstract
We report 3 cases of cataract extraction with multifocal intraocular lens (IOL) implantation after penetrating keratoplasty (PKP). 6 months after multifocal IOL implantation, uncorrected visual acuity (UCVA), best corrected visual acuity (BCVA), uncorrected near visual acuity (UCNVA) and best distance corrected near visual acuity (BCNVA) improved in all cases. Cataract extraction with multifocal IOL implantation may be a good option to provide pseudoaccommodation in post-PKP eyes
