[Internal astigmatism with other ocular lesions].

Astigmatism is a refractive defect whose origin is not always purely corneal, and is sometimes the result of corneal, crystalline lens or mixte contributions. The aim of our study is to report, through two cases, ocular lesions associated with a lenticular astigmatism and their evolution after treatment. In the first observation, it is a 25-year-old patient with a unilateral extra corneal astigmatism within the framework of the "tilted disc syndrome" associated with bilateral myopia. This patient has received treatment by Lasik. The postoperative course was good with a decline of 5 ans. The second observation is that of a patient aged 35 years without having a general history with a posterior lenticonus associated with keratoconus responsible for a major mixed astigmatism. She received combined surgery: penetrating keratoplasty with lens extraction and implantation of an artificial lens. The evolution was good with good visual recovery. The balance of internal astigmatism must include the systematic achievement of a subjective and objective refraction under cycloplegia and corneal topography. The search for etiology is critical to screen for eye or general disease and guide the therapeutic strategy. Knowledge of the refractive power of the cornea and crystalline lens of astigmatism separately would be important for surgery refractive and crystalline lens surgery.
