    Intraocular images can get distorted because of irregular corneal astigmatism in patients with severe keratoconus. Poor visibility can lead to complications, including posterior capsule rupture. The rigid gas-permeable contact lens-assisted cataract technique shown in this video provides excellent visualization during cataract surgery in patients with severe keratoconus.
