We appreciate the interest of Galvis et al in our article.1 Recent studies2–4 have shown that the posterior corneal surface has against-the-rule (ATR) astigmatism in most cases and keratometric astigmatism may misinterpret actual total corneal astigmatism. However, the exact reason remains unclear. In this article,1 focusing on distribution of corneal thickness, we explained the reason why posterior corneal surface tends to be ATR astigmatic. As Galvis et al pointed out, Koch et al2 and Tonn et al3 compared keratometric astigmatism with actual total corneal astigmatism using vector analysis to evaluate the contribution of posterior corneal astigmatism to total corneal astigmatism.

We read with interest the article by Ueno et al1 on corneal thickness and astigmatism. The authors stated, “It was found that the cornea was thicker in the vertical than in the horizontal direction, which can explain why the posterior cornea surface tends to be more [against-the-rule] astigmatic than the anterior corneal surface, as demonstrated by recent studies.” Clarification would be helpful. A steeper posterior corneal meridian aligned vertically correlates with the finding that the cornea is thicker along the vertical meridian.

A 61-year-old man was referred for a vascularized lesion of the conjunctival limbus suspicious for carcinoma in situ (Fig A). However, excisional biopsy demonstrated superficially invasive melanoma arising within conjunctival melanocytic intraepithelial neoplasia (C-MIN). Both the epithelial and invasive components lacked visible melanin. Roughly 80% of the conjunctival epithelium was replaced by atypical melanocytes (Fig B); that expressed MART-1 (melanocyte antigen marker; Fig C). The tumor extended 0.6 mm into substantia propria (Fig D).
