Abstract Details

Purpose:

To report early results of combined accelerated corneal collagen crosslinking and intrastromal Kerarings Implantation by femtosecond laser in a case of Keratoconus with superior cone location

Setting:

Sohag Center for Refractive and Corneal Surgery

Methods:

27-year-old male with Left eye diagnosed as Grade 3 Keratoconus with superior cone diagnosed by Sirius Scheimpflug corneal topography. RT.eye was previously subjected to Penetrating Keratoplasty. The uncorrected visual acuity (UCVA) in the right eye (RE) was 1.2 LogMAR corrected to 0.30 by a refraction of -7.50Ds –3.00Dc @12, while the UCVA in the left eye (LE) was 1.2 LogMAR corrected to 0.9 by a refraction of -8.50 Ds -5.50Dc @176.Intrastromal Kerarings implantation by IntraLase (iFS, Abbott) with accelerated transepithelial corneal collagen crosslinking by (Avedro, USA) was done in the same session.

Results:

The patient was followed up for 6 months with improvement of visual acuity as regards UCVA and BCVA and improvement of corneal topographic parameters including keratometry and front and back elevations

Conclusions:

Combined accelerated corneal collagen crosslinking and intrastromal Kerarings Implantation by femtosecond laser is an effective method in treatment of Keratoconus with superior cone location
