Solving a tough case of Hexagonal Keratotomy – a Feature in Cataract Coach
Professor Uday Devgan MD, renowned Los Angeles cataract surgeon, teaches the Best Techniques for Cataract Surgery. He elected to show a patient from our institute as a teaching case.
“This complex case involved a patient who underwent hexagonal keratotomy for treatment of hyperopia decades ago. This ended up causing instability in the cornea with the central optical zone having a massive amount of astigmatism. Dr. Gulani solved this case by first placing intra-stromal corneal ring segments and cross-linking. Then a few months later after corneal stability was achieved, the patient had cataract surgery with a toric IOL to address the mild residual astigmatism. The end result was excellent 20/30 uncorrected vision.”
