Surgery for 4 refractive errors in 1 patient.
We report a case of cataract extraction with implantation of a multifocal intraocular lens (IOL) after photorefractive keratectomy for myopia and astigmatism and subsequent laser thermal keratoplasty for surgically induced hyperopia. Good refractive results were obtained using standard biometry techniques for calculation of the IOL power.
