Pseudoaccommodating bifocal intraocular lens implantation in eyes with previous corneal refractive surgery – refractive outcomes: case series of 8 eyes
DOI: 10.1590/S0034-72802010000500006
OBJECTIVE: Accurate intraocular lens power calculation may be a challenging issue in eyes with previous corneal refractive surgery. METHODS: The authors present a series of 8 eyes (4 previously submitted to hyperopic laser in situ keratomileusis and 4 to radial keratectomy) submitted to phacoemulsification and implantation of pseudoaccommodating bifocal intraocular lens. Double-K SRK/T formula has been used. RESULTS: Acceptable refractive visual outcomes have been achieved. CONCLUSION: Pseudoaccommodating bifocal intraocular lenses can be safely implanted in patients with previous corneal refractive surgery.
