Purpose:
|
To assess the effectiveness of astigmatic keratotomy (AK) with femtosecond laser in correction of refractive error after keratoplasty
|
|
Methods:
|
In this retrospective study, clinical data of ten eyes of seven patients with previous Penetrating or Deep Anterior Lamellar Keratoplasty who had stigmatism error following surgery were analyzed. Astigmatism keratotomy was performed using Boscon Palmer schedule to create paired arcuate cuts deep into the donor corneal button.
|
|
Results:
|
The mean patient age was 35 years. Period between previous operation and AK ranged from two to 7 years. All of sutures were removed and AK was performed at least one year after suture removal. The mean preoperative subjective cylinder was – 7.53 D that changed to -4.41 D in patients that followed for 12 month. The best correction in cylinder was a change from -9.5 to -0.75 D. Mean preoperative UCVA (logMAR )was 1.1 that was significantly different with the value at 3, 6 and 12 month follow up( p<0.05).
|
|
Conclusion:
|
AK incisions with femtosecond laser are effective in the management of post keratoplasty astigmatism.
