Abstract
We report the surgical management of a patient with bilateral anterior lenticonus
due to Alport syndrome using femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery (FLACS)
and the Optiwave Refractive Analysis (ORA) system. A 38-year-old man with Alport
syndrome presented to our department with visual loss due to anterior lenticonus in both eyes. Adjustments during bilateral FLACS were performed with the software’s calipers to manually delineate the anterior capsulotomy. Multifocal toric intraocular lenses (IOLs) were selected and placed in the posterior chamber with the aid of intraoperative aberrometry. The intended postoperative positioning parameters for the IOL as well as the planned visual acuity and refraction were achieved. The implementation of FLACS and intraoperative wavefront aberrometry is a safe and useful surgical approach for the management of cataract in challenging cases such as patients with anterior lenticonus due to Alport syndrome.
