A 60 years old lady, who underwent phaco with lens implantation, receivedcorneal burn from a hot phacoemulsification tip. After two months of surgery herORBscan showed the corneal burn induced astigmatism of 5.0 D. Her vision wasCF unaided and 6/24 with correction. Full thickness limbal relaxing incision wasmade and after 2 weeks her ORBscan showed very less astigmatism. After 6weeks her ORBscan corneal topography showed astigmatism of just -0.3 Dwhich was stable until her last follow up at 6 months and her visual acuity whichwas CF initially improved to 6/12 unaided. She was followed up for a period ofsix months with ORBscan, uncorrected and best corrected visual acuity. So weconcluded that Limbal relaxing incision is a useful technique to reduce the highastigmatism induced by thermal corneal burns and to improve the visualoutcome.Key words: Limbal relaxing incision, corneal burn, astigmatism
