Anterior segment reconstruction — when one structure isn't the only problem.
Complex cases where the cornea, iris, and lens have all been damaged need a surgeon who handles all three at the same table. Dr. Shaarawy combines DALK / DMEK with iris repair, artificial iris, and secondary IOL implantation — often in a single combined session — for trauma, prior failed surgery, and aniridia patients.
