Abstract
Astigmatism is a visually significant condition that can develop after keratoplasty. The management of post-keratoplasty astigmatism can be performed both when transplant sutures are in place and when they have been removed. Fundamental for astigmatism management is its identification and characterization in terms of type, amount, and direction. Commonly, post-keratoplasty astigmatism is evaluated through corneal tomography or topo-aberrometry; however, many other techniques can be used in case these instruments are not readily available. Here, we describe several low-tech and high-tech techniques used for post-keratoplasty astigmatism detection in order to quickly understand if it contributes to low vision quality and to determine its characteristics. The management of post-keratoplasty astigmatism through suture manipulation is also described.
