Zusammenfassung:PURPOSETo demonstrate a case illustrating meridional lenticular astigmatism as a result of renal cell carcinoma uveal metastases. METHODSCase report with images. RESULTSClinical findings and diagnostic testing of a patient with acquired meridional lenticular astigmatism are described. The refraction revealed best-corrected visual acuity of 20/20-1 OD (-2.50 + 0.25 × 090) and 20/50 OS (-8.25 + 3.25 × 075). Bilateral concurrent renal cell carcinoma metastases to the choroid and ciliary body are demonstrated by utilizing ultrasonography, ultrawidefield fluorescein angiography, and unique spectral-domain optical coherence tomography. CONCLUSIONSMetastatic disease should be included in the differential of acquired astigmatism. Spectral-domain optical coherence tomography, ultrawidefield fluorescein angiography, and ultrasonography have roles in delineating choroidal metastases.
