Popis: | We report 2 patients who had radial keratotomy (RK) to correct myopia. The first patient developed a postoperative hyperopic shift and cataract. Nine years post RK, she had intracapsular cataract extraction and implantation of an Artisan aphakic intraocular lens (IOL). Twenty years post RK, hyperopia and astigmatism progressed to +7.0 -5.75 x 100 with a best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) of 20/20. Due to contact lens intolerance, the Artisan aphakic IOL was exchanged for an Artisan toric aphakic IOL. Three months later, the BCVA was 20/20 with +1.0 -0.50 x 130. The second patient demonstrated residual myopic astigmatism 6 years after bilateral RK and had become contact-lens intolerant. An Artisan toric phakic IOL was implanted in both eyes. Four months later, the BCVA was 20/25 with a refraction of +0.25 -1.0 x 135 and 20/20 with a refraction of -1.0 x 40. Both patients were satisfied with the visual outcomes. |
