Bilateral Light-Adjustable Lens Implantation in a Patient With 50-Cut Radial Keratotomy.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To report a case of Light Adjustable Lens^™ (LAL, RxSight, Aliso Viejo, CA) implantation in a patient with bilateral 50-cut radial keratotomy (RK) and discuss related preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative considerations.

Although LAL technology was not approved specifically for addressing limitations in intraocular lens calculation post-RK due to corneal topography irregularity, the patient opted for this lens due to its ability to make post-operative adjustments to its refractive power. At postoperative month one following the second eye surgery, YAG capsulotomy was performed in both eyes. At post
