Abstract
We report the first case, to our knowledge, of phacoemulsification wit h lens implantation in a patient with previous photorefractive keratec tomy for myopia. Intraocular lens calculations were performed using ma nual and automated keratometry. The surgical and postoperative course were uneventful with a good visual outcome. Standard intraocular lens calculation and surgical technique appear to be successful for catarac t extraction after photorefractive keratectomy.
