JUAN, V. de; MARTIN, R.  and  PASTOR, J.C.. Correction of secondary anisometropia after retinal detachment and LASIK surgery. Arch Soc Esp Oftalmol [online]. 2007, vol.82, n.8, pp.501-503. ISSN 0365-6691.

Case report: A male with cylindrical anisometropia secondary to retinal detachment (RD) surgery in the right eye (OD) was referred for contact lens (CL) fitting. His refraction was OD -1.25 -2.75 x 60º VA 1.0 and OS +0.25 VA 1.2. He was complaining of diplopia with spectacles. Seven years prior to the RD surgery, he had undergone LASIK without complications. The diplopia was eliminated after a CL was fitted according to his corneal topography. Discussion: RD surgery can cause anisometropic refractive changes. In patients with diplopia and asthenopia, spectacles are not well tolerated. CL fitting according to post-LASIK corneal geometry succeeded in refractive correction with less anisometropic symptoms.

Keywords : Refraction; anisometropia; astigmatism; LASIK; scleral buckling.
