Abstract Details

Purpose:

To examine the effectiveness and safety of operation and study is the in-vivo visualisation of the intrastromal incisions and the analysis of the intrastromal incisions' architecture after INTRACOR surgery

Setting:

S.N. Fyodorov Eye Microsurgery Complex, Novosibirsk Branch

Methods:

This retrospective study included 10 eyes of 10 patients after operation INTRACOR. Preoperatively and 1, 3, 6, and 12 months after surgery, a full ophthalmic examination was performed. INTRACOR was done using the FEMTEC fs laser system (Technolas Perfect Vision). Pre- and postoperative complete ophthalmic examination including uncorrected and best spectacle corrected visual acuity, corneal topography Zyotix (Bausch&Lomb), OCT (Optovue) was done.

Results:

INTRACOR is also capable of correcting approximately 0.5 D of distance refractive error. The mean postoperative spherical equivalent was 0.69±0.38 D. In the postoperative period at 9 patients the stable result was marked (uncorrected near acuity with a mean gain of 5 line and no change in distance visual acuity). However in one case we not have increases near acuity. Also this patient had complaints to glare-effect, halo-effect.The average spacing between each incision was from 200 to 210µm.The length of the incisions are different because the measurements were obtained from two different patients. Incision lengths vary between patients because they depend on the pachymetric profile. Consequently, the rings had the same spacing OCT RTVue 100 imaging enabled precise measurement of the endothelial and epithelial safety distances.

Conclusions:

Being based on clinical results and the data OST it is possible to draw a conclusion on safety, predictable and efficiency of operation INTRACOR FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE?: No
