After corneal transplantation, the patients' problems are far from being definitively resolved. The transplant pathology requires an attentive follow-up, as there is always a danger of corneal graft failure. We present here the case of young patient who had a corneal transplantation after an eye injury and who has developed a corneal ulcer on the grafted cornea, with subsequent risk of graft failure and consequent loss of the eye.

Herpetic keratitis is an increasingly frequent pathology, especially among the adult population. Untreated, it can lead to ocular complications difficult to treat and even to visual disabilities. Also, recurrent episodes should be diagnosed and treated appropriately in order not to leave room for the complicated forms, which often lead to a slow and incomplete visual recovery.

UNLABELLED: The purpose of this paper is to evidence the advantages of artificial Acrysof Toric IOL implantation in patients with cataract and corneal astigmatism. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Prospective clinical study on 30 patients with cataract operated on with phacoemulsification and implantation of Acrysof Toric IOL on 32 eyes, between September 2007- March 2008. RESULTS: The predictability between estimated and obtained astigmatism is 96.87%. In most of the cases the IOL was well centered in the capsular bag and stable on the predetermined axis, in 1 eye the IOL was rotated with about 30 degrees. The astigmatism evaluated in all patients at 6 months postoperatively being corrected in 78.13% of cases and reduced in 21.87% of cases. The UCVA between 2/3-5/5 was in 65.63% of cases and BCVA was in 34.37% of cases. To mention that 63.63% of patients with BCVA wanted to remain with myopia. CONCLUSIONS: Phacoemulsification and Acrysof Toric IOL implantation are an attractive alternative for patients with cataract and corneal astigmatism. The Acrysof Toric IOL eliminates or reduces preoperatively astigmatism, providing many patients a clear distance vision without glasses.
