Phacoemulsification after T-hex keratotomy

Abstract: T-hex keratotomy surgically corrects manifest hyperopia. The typical patient presenting for this surgery is a presbyope who develops symptoms from latent hyperopia. These patients are older than typical radial keratotomy patients and are thus likely to develop senile cataracts sooner. The exact surgical approach to cataract surgery in such patients is unknown. We report a patient who had successful cataract extraction by phacoemulsification with implantation of a posterior chamber lens after a previous routine… Show more

“…A few reported cases of cataract surgery after hexagonal keratectomy (now abandoned) resulted in myopic surprises 15. As procedures like hyperopic LASIK/PRK have gained wider acceptance, surgeons can expect to encounter different refractive surprises after cataract surgery in this population.…”

“…In den letzten Jahren gab es immer wieder Berichte über die Fehlbestimmung der Kunstlinsenstärke oder gar die Notwendigkeit eines Kunstlinsenaustausches wegen Hyperopie und/oder Anisometropie bei Kataraktoperation nach radialer Keratotomie (RK) 1 3 5 6 21 27 35 , myoper photorefraktiver Keratektomie (PRK) 4 7 20 22 34 52 53 56 oder neuerlich auch myoper Laser-in-situ-Keratomileusis (LASIK) 8 . Nur wenige Fallberichte ignorieren das Problem der Kunstlinsenfehlbestimmung 2 25 . Um derartige refraktive Fehlschläge in praxi zu vermeiden, haben wir uns dieses Problems, welches im Wesentlichen aus der Fehlbestimmung der Gesamtbrechkraft der Hornhaut besteht, im Voraus in der Theorie angenommen 49 50 .…”
