Abstract
To describe a case of light adjustable lens implantation after radial keratotomy. A patient with a 30-year history of radial keratotomy subsequently underwent phacoemulsification with implantation of intraocular light adjustable lenses. Serial refractions were performed at varying hours of the day postoperatively and were repeated for 3 months. The light adjustable lenses were adjusted twice, and the refractive power of the implant was eventually locked. The patient was able to achieve uncorrected distance visual acuity of 20/25 in both eyes, improving from 20/125 in the right eye and 20/80 in the left eye, with no surgical complications. The authors report the first case of light adjustable lens implantation after radial keratotomy, which has yielded promising results for mitigating intraocular lens miscalculations after radial keratotomy.
