We report our experience with two patients with familial aniridia who underwent combined cataract extraction and penetrating keratoplasty. Persistent epithelial defects developed in all four eyes within 4 months. Combined lateral tarsorrhaphy and application of disposable soft contact lenses restored the integrity of the corneal epithelium, and 21 months after surgery, the grafts were clear and avascular.
