The association of ICRS and PRK for treating high astigmatism after keratoplasty improved visual acuity, spherical equivalent, and topographic and refractive astigmatism after 12 months of follow-up.
and pinhole pupilloplasty 6 have been described for use in patients with irregular astigmatism from keratoconus.In conclusion, we would plan to combine a phakic toric intraocular implant with a corneal refractive laser procedure to treat the residual ametropia in the right eye. We would then plan for a DALK or PKP in the left eye once the right eye is fully rehabilitated. REFERENCES 1. Raecker ME, Erie JC, Patel SV, Bourne WM.
