We report cataract surgery with toric intraocular lens implantation for the management of senile cataract combined with pellucid marginal degeneration. A 72-year-old man with bilateral senile cataract and significant against-the-rule astigmatism sought counseling for blurry vision and glare, mostly in the right eye. Based on ophthalmic examination and corneal topography, a diagnosis of pellucid marginal degeneration and cataract was made. Since visual acuity and refraction had been stable in the past 3 years, the patient underwent cataract extraction and implantation of a custom-designed toric posterior chamber intraocular lens. Postoperative follow-up of 1.5-year demonstrated marked improvement in visual acuity, stable refraction and patient satisfaction. This treatment for pellucid marginal degeneration offers the simplicity of regular cataract surgery, and avoids the known complications of keratoplasty and other corneal surgical manipulation for the management of pellucid marginal degeneration.
