Abstract
Bilateral cataract extraction with posterior chamber intraocular lens (IOL) implantation was performed in a patient after previous photorefractive keratectomy, radial keratotomy (RK) combined with astigmatic keratotomy, and retreatment of RK. Significant hyperopic error was observed after cataract surgery, and the IOLs were eventually exchanged in both eyes. A review of this case found that the refractive error was smaller when a refraction- derived keratometric value was selected for IOL power calculation. Nevertheless, hyperopic error still occurred.
