Dr., Bakırköy Dr.Sadi Konuk Eğitim ve Araştırma Hastanesi, Göz Hastalıkları, İstanbul- TÜRKİYE A fifty years old female patient with the history of Laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) presented at emergency room complaining of insertion of a hair clip piece into her left eye. On slit-lamp examination, there was a foreign body impacted in inferotemporal paracentral cornea extending into the lens via penetrating iris. Two and a half months after the corneal fi xation and traumatic cataract extraction, iridoplasty and secondary intraocular lens (IOL) implantation were applied. The stable refraction was ? 0.50 ? 0.75/160 degrees at the fi rst year of trauma. In traumatic aphakic eyes with the history of refractive surgery choosing appropriate IOL calculation formula may become more diffi cult because routinely used methods to calculate IOL power do not guarantee the same accuracy compared with naive eyes. Haigis-L formula might be a preferable method to calculate IOL power for these eyes. Keywords : Refractive surgery; intraocular lenses; traumatic aphakia; penetrating eye injuries
