Abstract Details

Purpose:

To assess the safety and efficacy of combined intrastromal corneal ring segments (ICRS) implantation and corneal collagen cross-linking (CXL) in cases of post-lasik ectasia.

Setting:

Ophthalmology department of Sohag University Hospital in collaboration with Future private center in Egypt.

Methods:

Seven eyes of 4 patients with post-lasik ectasia were included in this study. All cases were treated by femtosecond laser-assisted Keraring implantation combined with trans-epithelial accelerated CXL in the same session.

Results:

After one year; the mean uncorrected visual acuity improved from 0.8 (logMAR) to 0.6 while the mean best-corrected visual acuity improved from 0.6 to 0.3. The mean preoperative flattest keratometry (K1) was 41.6 D while the mean postoperative K1 was 37.5 D. The mean preoperative steepest keratometry (K2) was 45.5 D while the mean postoperative K2 was 41.9 D. No intraoperative or postoperative complications were detected.

Conclusions:

Combined femtosecond laser-assisted Keraring implanation and accelerated trans-epithelial CXL is safe and effective in the treatment of postlasik ectasia.
