Abstract

In post refractive surgery eyes, we come across irregular corneas which can be a source of disturbing symptoms like glare and haloes. These symptoms are compounded when the patient develops cataract making planning for cataract surgery a difficult task. We attempt to demonstrate an algorithmic approach to treat these corneal imperfections using corneal tomography and ray tracing aberrometry prior to cataract surgery. By using a customized approach to each case, it was found that there was an improvement in both the uncorrected and best corrected visual acuity for all the patients along with improved visual quality and regularization of corneal topography.Our algorithm helps in perfecting these imperfect corneas of post refractive surgery patients thus, providing significant improvement in the quality of life for these patients.
