About this study

Patients undergoing cataract surgery after DALK for keratoconus were enrolled. Total corneal astigmatism (TCA)was assessed by a rotating Scheimpflug camera combined with Placido disk corneal topography (Sirius; CSO, Firenze, Italy). A customized toric IOL (FIL 611 T, Soleko) was implanted in all eyes. One year postoperatively, refraction was measured, the IOL position was recorded, and vectorial and non-vectorial analysis were performed to evaluate the correction of astigmatism.

Who can participate

Healthy volunteers accepted: No

Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.

Inclusion criteria

  • Corneal suture removal had been performed in all cases at least 1 year before cataract surgery.

Corneal astigmatism was stable at least since 6 months before the cataract surgery

Exclusion criteria

  • other ocular pathologies as glaucoma, retinal disease.
