A 65-year-old man with a history of extensive radial keratotomy presents for cataract surgery evaluation with a priority of crisp uncorrected distance visual acuity.

Examination shows numerous RK and astigmatic keratotomy incisions in both eyes, a peripheral Salzmann nodule overlying multiple RK cuts in the right eye, and visually significant nuclear sclerotic and cortical cataracts bilaterally, with otherwise normal retinal findings.

How would you counsel him? Which IOL would you recommend? Would you remove the Salzmann nodule before operating on the right eye?

CASE PRESENTATION: A 77-year-old man presents for a surgical consultation. The patient, a retired dentist, is well informed about the severe dry age-related macular degeneration (AMD) in each of his eyes.

His UCVA and BSCVA are 0.2 (decimal scale) with a manifest refraction of +0.25 -1.00 x 169º OD and 0.13 with a manifest refraction of -0.25 -0.25 x 144º OS. Crocodile shagreen with minimal peripheral thinning and some guttae is evident in each cornea, but the cell density is normal (> 2,400 cells/mm2).

The corneal condition is not affecting his central visual acuity. The anterior chamber angle and IOP are normal. Both crystalline lenses exhibit slight nuclear sclerosis that may or may not affect his vision.

The patient has no history of ocular surgery. He has a strong desire for improved vision, especially at near. How would you proceed?

CASE PRESENTATION: A 45-year-old man presents for a refractive surgery consultation. He takes icosapent ethyl for high triglycerides and lisinopril for hypertension and previously had a nasal tumor removed from the right sinus.

His vision is 20/20 with glasses, with moderate myopia and mild astigmatism. Eye exam and tear testing are normal, though the right cornea shows reduced sensation.

He reports no dry eye history and has worn contact lenses successfully, using slight under-correction in the right eye for near tasks. Continue reading the full case here: https://ow.ly/INnz50XAoQM
