Purpose
To report a first experience of femtosecond limbal relaxing incisions procedure while performing cataract surgery to reduce the astigmatism.
Setting
A female patient, 58 YO, complained of poor distant vision acuity. BCVA OD -6.50 d sph -0.75 d cyl ax 115=1.0 OS -8.75 d sph -0.75 d cyl ax 170=1.0 Keratometry data (Pentacam, cornea front ) OD K1 45.5D K2 46.6D Astig. 1.1 D; OS K1 45.8D k2 47.3 Astig. 1.5D. Ziemer Z8 femtosecond laser and Alcon Centurion were used during cataract surgery. Zeiss IOL Master 500 was used calculating the IOL power.
Methods
Femtosecond-laser assisted cataract surgery and femtosecond limbal relaxing incisions were performed on both eyes. IOL calculation was performed using Barrett Universal II formula, - 3.0D was chosen as target correction.
Results
Surgeries were performed uneventfully.
BCVA 3 months after the surgery:
OD 0.2 cc - 2.50 d sph=1.2 OS 0.2 cc - 2.25 d sph -0.50 d cyl ax 5=1.2
Keratometry data (Pentacam, cornea front ) OD K1 46.1D K2 46.2D Astig. 0.1 D; OS K1 46.1D K2 47.1 Astig. 1.0D
Conclusions
Femtosecond limbal relaxing incisions is easy to perform, safe and effective procedure to minimize the corneal astigmatism.
