Abstract
The authors describe their experience of successful laser additional correction of residual myopic refractive error (Vis OD = 0.04; Sph –5.75 D, Cyl –2.00 D, ax 25° = 0.4) using the FemtoLASIK method with the MEL-90 excimer laser and the VISUMAX femtosecond laser (Carl Zeiss Meditec) in a 15-year-old patient on a pseudophakic eye (Acrysof® Natural, model SN60AT), with moderate glistening and refractive amblyopia after phacoemulsification of congenital posterior capsular cataract with IOL implantation performed at the age of 7 years. Moreover, the very next day after present surgery, the patient’s maximum distance visual acuity without correction increased to 0.5, but she still had the ability to read ordinary magazine text at close distance. Thus, the described clinical case confirms that FemtoLASIK technology can be successfully used as the second stage of bioptics (laser correction of myopia in pseudophakic eyes) in young patients.
