Abstract Details

Purpose:

To study the healing patterns of different femto-second laser assisted keratoplasty techniques at the graft-host junction versus the healing patterns in conventional methods

Setting:

Faculty of Medicine, Cairo University, Egypt

Methods:

20 cases were involved in this study. Ten cases were subjected to Femto-second assisted laser keratoplasty and the other group was subjected to conventional method. All cases were examined clinically and by anterior segment OCT to evaluate the graft-host junction and record the healing patterns after one month

Results:

Reports on wound gaping, overlapping of anterior lamella, rolling of posterior lamella, corneal edema and Descemet"s membrane undulations were recorded for each group and documented by photos

Conclusions:

The wounds in Femto-second laser assisted keratoplasty were noticed to be more regular, with less posterior lamellar rolling and subepithelial gaping
