Undesirable High Astigmatism after Penetrating Keratoplasty in Pseudophakia Corrected with an Add-On Toric Intraocular Lens

The purpose of the present case is to report the visual outcomes of a pseudophakic patient with high post-penetrating keratoplasty astigmatism treated with implantation of toric AddOn® intraocular lens (IOL) in the sulcus. A 79-year-old man with a ophthalmologic history of pseudoexfoliative glaucoma and Fuchs endothelial dystrophy had a graft failure after Descemet’s stripping automated endothelial keratoplasty procedure on his right eye. Consequently, a penetrating keratoplasty was performed, and a high corneal astigmatism of −9.8 D to 140° resulted in that eye after selective suture removal. A secondary AddOn® toric IOL customized for the patient with a manufacturer-calculated power of +11.0 D was implanted to 50° in sulcus of the right eye. Subjective refraction was used for IOL calculation. Final refraction was +1.0 D of sphere and −2.0 D of cylinder power to 105°, with spherical equivalent of 0.0 D. Best corrected visual acuity was logMAR 0.1 (20/25, 0.8 decimal) 1 year after the IOL implant. Our case report demonstrates that the toric AddOn® secondary IOL can be effective and safe in correcting residual refractive error of high regular astigmatism after keratoplasty in pseudophakic eyes.
