A patient with marked corneal astigmatism and inferior contact edge lift after penetrating keratoplasty for keratoconus had corneal relaxing incisions (CRIs) on the donor button and radial incisions on the host cornea. Results were evaluated by computerized videokeratography and by refitting the contact lens. Two pairs of CRIs decreased astigmatism from 11.00 to 4.25 diopters but did not alleviate the contact lens edge lift, which was caused by excessive steepness in the keratoconic host cornea. After 6 radial incisions were made to flatten the inferior host cornea, the peripheral cornea flattened and the patient was successfully refitted with a contact lens.
