Purpose:
|
Evaluation of the visual and refractive outcomes and tomography changes of FA ICRs,Intacs SK implantation in the treatment of keratoconus.
|
|
Methods:
|
In this prospective nonrandomized study, 1 or 2 rings of Intacs SK ICRS were implanted using femtosecond laser in eyes with Stage I- IV KCN. Visual, refractive, corneal tomography changes and complications were analyzed over a 6-month follow-up.
|
|
Results:
|
68 eyes evaluated. At 6 months postoperation, the SE decreased by a mean of 1.75 D the Mean cylinder decreased 1.10 D. The mean Pre op LogMAR UCVA and DCVA was 6.96, 0.59 increased to 0.54 and 0.34 respectively. Keratometry K flat and K steep decreased by a mean of 2.0 D and 2.57 D respectively. The mean posterior BFS and irregularity was not changed significantly.
|
|
Conclusion:
|
Implantation of Intacs SK ICRS for keratoconus was safe and effective, leading to significant improvement in UDVA, CDVA, and refractive error.
