| description | Corneal alterations due to radial keratotomy (RK) complicate intraocular lens calculations, which may explain why there have been few reports of toric intraocular lens (TIOL) implantation after excessive or multiple operations. A 71-year-old male with a history of repeated RKs and at least 30 corneal incisions in each eye was referred for cataract surgery. Preoperatively, the best-corrected distance visual acuity was 0.7 decimal (0.15 logMAR) in the right eye and 0.9 decimal (0.05 logMAR) in the left eye. The refractive errors were −8.00 −3.00 × 80 and −6.00 −3.50 × 80, respectively. The total corneal cylindrical powers (real power; anterior and posterior) were, respectively, −0.90 D and −3.60 D at 9 a.m., compared to −1.60 D and −3.80 D at 1 p.m. Corneal astigmatism in the left eye was considered symmetric and diurnally stable; therefore, an XY1AT6 TIOL (Hoya, Tokyo, Japan; cylindrical power at the plane, +3.75 D) was implanted. A non-toric intraocular lens, the XY1 (Hoya), was implanted in the right eye. Six-month postoperative best-corrected distance visual acuities were 1.2 decimal (−0.08 logMAR) and 1.0 decimal (0.00 logMAR) in the right and left eyes, respectively. Post-operative manifest refractions were +0.00 −3.00 × 70 and −1.00 −2.00 × 85, respectively. The TIOL reduced refractive astigmatism in the left eye; therefore, we believe that even after multiple RKs, the TIOL can be a suitable candidate to correct astigmatism if the corneal astigmatism is diurnally stable and symmetric. |
