To report a case of cataract extraction and intraocular lens (IOL) implantation after phototherapeutic keratectomy (PTK). The IOL power was calculated using the single-K and the double-K SRK/T formula, as well as the Haigis formula after modifying the post PTK corneal power using methods described for corneal power measurements after myopic excimer laser treatment (photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) and LASIK). A new method for IOL power calculation after PTK is introduced.
