High magnitude mixed astigmatism correction with excimer laser surgery
DOI: 10.5935/0034-7280.20150023
High astigmatism correction represents a challenge for the refractive surgeon with current available technology. Excimer laser correction should be considered as an option in the available therapeutic arsenal. We report a patient with astigmatism higher than eight diopters to whom it was used a treatment with LASIK (Laser Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis) in two surgical moments, using a new generation of excimer laser with an optimized aspheric profile.
