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.

Why choose us
Cornea, iris, and lens — all handled in one OR visit. Most centers send you to three different specialists.
Fellowship at Devers Eye Institute (Portland, OR) included rotations on combined surgery cases.
We use original HumanOptics CustomFlex Artificial Iris (CE-marked, FDA-approved). Each iris is photographed and color-matched to your other eye.
Smart Splash and Graft Exchange DALK techniques were developed for these complex revision cases.
