September consultation #3

The implantation of an ICL for myopia and myopic astigmatism in eyes with keratoconus has a great potential to end with an unpredictable outcome because of cone, irregular astigmatism, and instable refraction. Changing refraction and progression of the disease because of the biomechanically instable cornea causes fluctuation in vision. In the presented case, a hypervault of the implanted ICL also caused pigment dispersion and an imprecise refractive outcome. Because the patient reports blurry vision with diplopia in the left eye, a surgical correction is warranted.
