The advantages of femtosecond laser-assisted astigmatic keratotomy (FSAK) over conventional methods have been recognized recently. Main text This review evaluates the efficacy, complications, and different methods of FSAK for correction of astigmatism in native e...

BACKGROUND To compare the outcomes of a toric phakic intraocular lens (PIOL) and a spherical PIOL combined with astigmatic keratotomy (AK) for the correction of high myopic astigmatism. METHODS This study enrolled patients with high myopic astigmatism, including 30 eyes (22 patients) that received a toric PIOL implantation (TICL group), and 32 eyes (24 patients) that received combined AK and ...
متن کاملDevelopment of a nomogram for femtosecond laser astigmatic keratotomy for astigmatism after keratoplasty.
PURPOSE To develop a nomogram for femtosecond laser astigmatic keratotomy (AK) to treat post-keratoplasty astigmatism. SETTING Three academic medical centers. DESIGN Retrospective interventional case series. METHODS A review of post-keratoplasty femtosecond laser AK was performed. Uncorrected (UDVA) and corrected (CDVA) distance visual acuities, manifest refraction, and keratometry were r...
متن کاملAlternaria keratitis after uneventful phacoemulsification in an otherwise healthy adult.
BACKGROUND Fungal infections of self-sealing corneal incisions in cataract surgery are scarce.
