Abstract EN
Purpose.
To report the use of femtosecond laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) in the treatment of hyperopia subsequent to Descemet stripping-automated endothelial keratoplasty (DSAEK).
Methods.
Interventional case report.
Results.
A 66-year-old woman with Fuchs endothelial dystrophy developed bullous keratopathy after cataract surgery in her right eye.
She underwent DSAEK with a significant postoperative hyperopic shift in her refraction.
Thirteen months after DSAEK, she underwent wavefront-guided, femtosecond laser-assisted LASIK (IntraLase, Inc., Irvine, CA/AMO, Inc., IL, USA).
Pretreatment unaided visual acuity was 20/120, and best-corrected visual acuity was 20/20 with a refraction of +3.25/−0.50×170.
One year after laser refractive correction, unaided visual acuity was 20/20 with a refraction of +0.25/−0.75×160.
Conclusion.
To our knowledge, this is the first paper on the successful treatment of hyperopic shift related to DSAEK with wavefront-guided, femtosecond laser-assisted LASIK.
