• Could I have an opinion on possible refractive surgery in this young woman?

• She went to different doctors with different opinions regarding refractive surgery.

• Female 26y old / Contactlens intolerant / Stable reaction > 2years

• BCVA OD 20/20 -11 OS 20/20 -11 • Mesopic pupildiameter : OD 7.46mm OS 7.34mm

(OPD-scan) • Pachymetrie : OD 618µ OS 631µ • Keratometry • OD 45.75 x 46.50 OS 46.00 x 46.75 (normal cornea) • Schirmertest ODS normal >10mm • Anterior chamber depth (endothelium-lens) OD

3.34mm OS 3.40mm • Biomicroscopy normal • Fundoscopy normal • At this moment she wears glasses and has also

peripheral distortion due to the high level of correction. • -> Is LASIK or Femto-LASIK an option in this young

woman with high myopia and thick cornea. However she has large mesopic pupils (>7mm.).

• -> Would you rather be in favoutr for a Phakic IOL? • -> Would you rather not treat this patient?

Steep but thick: KRS?

What is this procedure?

• Would you treat this patient? • Female 43y • 13/12/2007 LASIK OD +4.50 (-0.50x160)

OZ 6.50 TZ 8.90 74µm 13/12/2007 LASIK OS +4.00(-0.50 x 5) OZ 6.50 TZ 8.90 66µm

• XP-keratome 9.5/120µ • 04/2011 Irregular regression with

residual hyperopic astigmatism • BCVA OD 20/20 +3(-1.75x120°) OS

20/20 +2.5(-1.5x55°) • Patient is too young for multifocal IOL in

my opinion. She would loose her accomodation and difficult IOL-calculation. She does not want to wear glasses.

• Is enhancement an option in this rather steep cornea?
