title: Intrastromal corneal ring segment implantation for irregular astigmatism after laser in situ keratomileusis.
abstract: We describe the case of a 56-year-old man with a previously decentered laser in situ keratomileusis ablation in his right eye that induced associated vision-threatening problems. After intrastromal corneal ring segment implantation, both topography and visual acuity significantly improved.
