Limbal relaxing incisions for astigmatism

Hey, i just want to know if there are any patient requirements for LRI, like age, amount of astigmatism( i have roughly 2cyl and 1.5cyl),ect. And if having extremely sensitive eyes would prompt any problems. thank you

I believe that thin corneas are a contraindication.  Another possibility for correcting astigmatism is a toric IOL.  With your degree of astigmatism, one study showed that this option eliminated slightly more astigmatism than LRIs.

contraindications might include scarred corena, keratoconus, active infection, history of herpes simplex, astigmatism less than 1 diopter or large amounts, or a patient that didn't want the procedure.
