Refractive lens exchange using SN60T5 AcrySof Toric intraocular lens in stage 2 keratoconus

چکیده
This is a case report of a 45-year-old anisometropic woman with stage 2 keratoconus submitted to refractive lens exchange employing SN60T5 AcrySof Toric intraocluar lens on her left eye. Phacoemulsification followed by proper lens implantation was accomplished successfully. On postoperative period, favorable refractive and visual outcomes were obtained. The use of toric intraocular lenses may be an option in the refractive treatment of stage 2 keratoconus in selected cases.

Correcting Astigmatism with Acrysof Toric Lenses (SN60T3 to SN60T9) in Cataract Surgery
Purpose: The objective of this study was to evaluate the outcome of Acrysof Toric intraocular lenses (IOLs) implantation in cataract surgery for the correction of regular corneal astigmatism. Methods: Twenty eyes of 16 patients with cataract and regular corneal astigmatism of 1.00-4.00 diopter (D) underwent surgery. Depending on the amount of corneal astigmatism, an Acrysof Toric IOL of type SN...
