PURPOSE: To report two cases of coexisting keratoconus and Fuchs endothelial dystrophy treated with intrastromal corneal ring segments (ICRS) implantation and Descemet membrane endothelial keratoplasty (DMEK). METHODS: Two patients with coexisting keratoconus and Fuchs endothelial dystrophy underwent ICRS implantation and DMEK, in a two-stage procedure. Follow-up evaluation included Scheimpftug tomography and optical coherence tomography. RESULTS: In both cases, ICRS implantation improved corneal topography and DMEK restored normal corneal thickness. Corrected distance visual acuity improved from 20/100 to 20/30 and from 20/60 to 20/25. Urrets-Zavatia syndrome was diagnosed in one case and addressed with colored contact tens fitting. CONCLUSIONS: Low vision resulting from coexisting keratoconus and Fuchs endothelial dystrophy might be addressed more selectively with posterior lamellar keratoplasty and ICRS implantation. Urrets-Zavalia syndrome must be considered a possible complication after DMEK, especially in patients with keratoconus.
