Manual Superficial Keratectomy Is the First Choice Treatment for Salzmann Nodular Degeneration.

Purpose: This study aimed to describe the optical and topographic changes after manual superficial keratectomy (MSK) for Salzmann nodular degeneration.

Methods: This was a descriptive, retrospective study. All patients with a clinical diagnosis of Salzmann nodular degeneration were examined at the Cornea Service of the Instituto Clínico Quirúrgico de Oftalmología (ICQO), Bilbao, Spain, and treated with MSK after presenting ocular discomfort and/or decreased visual acuity.

Transitional conic toric intraocular lens for the management of corneal astigmatism in cataract surgery.

Synopsis: Transitional toric intraocular lens (IOL) was developed to improve refractive outcomes in cataract surgery. We report refractive, vectorial outcomes, and stability of spherical equivalent over 12 months after implantation of this IOL.

Purpose: To evaluate visual and refractive outcomes of a transitional conic toric intraocular lens (IOL) (Precizon) for the correction of corneal astigmatism in patients undergoing cataract surgery.
