IOL master, not refraction, is the critical measurement Some astigmatism change may occur during surgery (typically 0.5D for a 2.2mm clear corneal incision) Depending on location, may increase or decrease existing corneal astigmatism (incision on steep meridian reduces astigmatism) Any suitable cataract patient with >0.75D of resultant preoperative astigmatism may benefit from a toric IOL correction 3

19 KERATOCONUS ECTASIA KERATOCONUS IS A PRIMARY EYE DISEASE THAT RESULTS IN A DEFORMATION OF THE CORNEA AND LOSS OF VISION. THE CORNEA THINS AND BECOMES CONE SHAPED THERE IS USUALLY (ALWAYS??) A GENETIC BASIS. LOTS OF THEORIES ABOUT MECHANISM: TISSUE JUST WEAKER THAN NORMAL, UNDERGOES STRUCTURAL FAILURE, WHICH TRIGGERS MANY THINGS THERE IS AN INABILITY TO HANDLE OXIDATIVE STRESS IN THE CORNEA, DUE TO CONGENITALLY ABNORMALLY ENZYMES, WHICH CAUSES OXIDATIVE DAMAGE, APOPTOSIS, AND SO ON ECTASIA IS A CLINICAL STATE THAT HAS THE PROPERTIES AND COURSE OF KERATOCONUS, BUT OCCURS AFTER REFRACTIVE SURGERY MOST COMMONLY, POST LASIK HAS OCCURRED WITH PRK AND PTK MANY THEORIES: SOME CORNEAS ARE WEAKER THAN OTHERS SOME ARE DESTINED TO HAVE KC SOME ARE DUE TO MECHANICAL INACCURACY (FLAP TOO THICK) SURGERY SETS UP AN OXIDATIVE STRESS CASCADE, THAT IN TURN TRIGGERS KC. POST PRK KERATOCYTE APOPTOSIS CAN BE BLOCKED BY ANTIOXIDANTS. ECTASIA ANATOMICAL BASIS MICHAEL SMOLEK, PH.D. OF NEW ORLEANS HAS DETERMINED THE STRUCTURE OF THE CORNEA MAY EXPLAIN WHY ECTASIA IS MORE LIKELY AFTER LASIK ANTERIOR STROMA IS CROSS-LINKED POSTERIOR STROMA IS NOT HISTORY CHRONIC ALLERGIES- EYE RUBBING FAMILY HX- TRANSPLANT, KC REFRACTIVE STABILITY 19
