چکیده

We present the case of a 57-year-old woman who had combined Descemet-stripping automated endothelial keratoplasty (DSAEK) and phacoemulsification with implantation of a toric intraocular lens (IOL). Surgery was intended to treat a cataract developing in a post-penetrating keratoplasty (PKP) eye with high astigmatism and endothelial decompensation. Six months after uneventful surgery, the cornea was clear and the corrected distance visual acuity was 20/20 with a refraction of +0.25 -1.00 × 10 (from -3.00 -8.50 × 12 preoperatively). The internal topography map (OPD-Scan) showed an IOL rotation of 4 degrees. The endothelial cell loss was 15% of the eye-bank value. Descemet-stripping automated endothelial keratoplasty combined with phacoemulsification and toric IOL implantation is a relatively simple and very effective procedure for eyes with endothelial failure and high post-PKP astigmatism. The speed of visual rehabilitation and final visual acuity achieved with this approach was superior to that obtained with other surgical procedures.

Correction of High Astigmatism after Penetrating Keratoplasty with Toric Multifocal Intraocular Lens Implantation

After penetrating keratoplasty (PK), high astigmatism is often induced, being frequently about 4-6 dpt. According to the entity and typology of astigmatism, different methods of correction can be used. Selective suture removal, relaxing incisions, wedge resections, compression sutures, photorefractive keratectomy, and laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis can reduce corneal astigmatism and amet...
