September consultation #9

At my practice, we previously showed that toric ICL implantation was effective in terms of safety, efficacy, predictability, and stability for the correction of refractive errors for mild and stable keratoconus,1,2 and that the disease did not progress, even in the late postoperative period.3 Accordingly, considering that this patient ’s left eye had 7.25 D of astigmatism, this eye was not a good indication for toric ICL implantation alone. Moreover, even if postoperative rotation did not occur, some residual astigmatism would still have remained after surgery.
