purpose : to assess the results of intracorneal ring (icr) segments for treatment of patients with pellucid marginal degeneration (pmd) methods : in this prospective interventional case series study, eight eyes of 5 patients with pmd who were contact lens intolerant received one or two intacs (intacs, addition technology) segments. preoperative and postoperative evaluations included slit-lamp e...

We report cataract surgery with toric intraocular lens implantation for the management of senile cataract combined with pellucid marginal degeneration. A 72-year-old man with bilateral senile cataract and significant against-the-rule astigmatism sought counseling for blurry vision and glare, mostly in the right eye. Based on ophthalmic examination and corneal topography, a diagnosis of pellucid...

results the mean udva (logmar) improved significantly from 1.13 ± 0.21 preoperatively to 0.24 ± 0.13 postoperatively (p < 0.001), and the mean cdva (logmar) improved significantly from 0.39 ± 0.12 to 0.19 ± 0.09 (p < 0.001). the mean cylinder of manifest refraction decreased significantly by 4.00 diopter (d) (p < 0.001). the mean spherical equivalent error (se) decreased significantly from −6.0...
