Case report of a 18-year-old male patient with Alport's syndrome, who presented with renal failure and hearing loss reporting a progressive loss of vision acuity. Slitlamp examination revealed bilateral anterior lenticonus. The patient underwent pre and post-operative corneal and anterior segment tomography with a rotating Scheimpflug system (Pentacam), integrated whole eye (individual laser beam ray tracing) and corneal surface (Placido) wavefront aberrometry (i-Trace). Phacoemulsification and single piece hydrophobic IOL implantation (Acrysof (R) SN60AT) was performed uneventfully in both eyes. Pre op Scheimpflug well decomented the anterior lenticonus. Total aberrometry showed myopic astigmatisms with high negative spherical aberrations OU; higher order aberrations (HOAs) greatly influenced the conversion of Snellen E letters. Total aberrations and corneal topographies integration maps OU demonstrated high levels of intraocular aberrations which had more similarity with whole eye aberrations than anterior corneal aberrations. After surgery, BCVA was 20/20 in both eyes. Scheimpflug images revealed topic intraocular lens and the differential maps showed resolution of myopia and decrease of the total ocular HOAs as well as from the internal optics. Adjunctive advanced diagnostic tools were useful to demonstrate the anterior lenticonus and its optical impact along with the resolution of the aberrations post operatively.
