Enhancing Vision With Small Aperture Extended Depth of Focus IOLs and Adjunctive PRK in Patients With Keratoconus

A panelist discusses how a 50-year-old male patient with stabilized keratoconus achieved excellent visual outcomes with an IC-8 small aperture IOL by targeting slight myopia to optimize the defocus curve, followed by adjunctive PRK to address central corneal astigmatism that was causing ghosting despite good uncorrected acuity, emphasizing the critical importance of controlling irregularities in the central 3-mm zone and ensuring nighttime pupil size remains under 5 mm for optimal results.
