Refractive lensectomy and cross-cylinder LASIK for the correction of extreme hyperopic astigmatism
JCRS May 2004
Bilateral Refractive lensectomy followed by cross-cylinder LASIK was performed in a 46-year-old patient with extreme hyperopic astigmatism. Six months postoperatively, the uncorrected visual acuity was 20/25 with a manifest refraction of +0.25 ?0.50 × 44 in the right eye and +0.25 ?0.25 × 10 in the left eye. The best corrected visual acuity remained unchanged in both eyes at 20/25. Refractive lensectomy and cross-cylinder LASIK can be effective for treating extreme hyperopic astigmatism.
