Abstract Details

Purpose:

To assess the refractive outcome and topographic changes after implantation of incomplete (320) ring for refractive rehabilitation in keratoconus

Setting:

International Eye Hospital, Cairo, Egypt

Methods:

Ttwenty eyes (10 patients) suffering from keratoconus underwent femtosecond assisted ICRS implantation using Alcon /Wavelight FS200 femtosecond laser system. Asphericity Q value was the main factor affecting ICRS thickness selection. Pre and post operative refractive outcome and topographic changes were assessed. Follow up mean was 6 months (3 to 12).

Results:

The procedure effectively improved the Q value, K readings, and the refractive error .The UDVA and CDVA are showing improvement in all cases with 0% of eyes lost any line.

Conclusions:

The femtosecond assisted 320 ICRS implantation seems to be effective and safe technique in managing moderate keratoconus cases.
