The authors describe an inexpensive, reliable method for practicing intraocular surgery using a rigid contact lens as a temporary keratoprosthesis. This method allows clear visualization of the anterior chamber and lenticular structures for practicing modern cataract surgery, including capsulorhexis, hydrodissection, phacoemulsification, cortical aspiration, and intraocular lens insertion.
