Prediction of Corneal Condition After Corneal Ring Implantation in Keratoconus Patients
Background: Keratoconus is a common complication among corneal defects. As a result of expeditious and extensive progress of medical science in recent decades, corneal ring implantation has turned into a successful surgical procedure to correct the vision of Keratoconus patients; however, selecting the right patient is essential in the success of the operation. The prediction of corneal conditi...
متن کاملEffect of treatment sequence in combined intrastromal corneal rings and corneal collagen crosslinking for keratoconus.
PURPOSE To compare 2 sequences of combined intrastromal corneal ring segment (ICRS) implantation and ultraviolet/riboflavin-mediated corneal collagen crosslinking (CXL) in progressive keratoconus. SETTING Dunya Eye Hospital, Istanbul, Turkey. METHODS In this prospective comparative randomized consecutive study, CXL was followed by ICRS implantation (Group 1) or ICRS implantation was followe...
متن کاملAccelerated Corneal Collagen Crosslinking for the treatment of Keratoconus
Corneal Collagen Crosslinking (CXL) is a method that has been established as the treatment of choice for keratoconus. Corneal strengthening is achieved with the use of riboflavin (vitamin B2) in combination with ultraviolet radiation UV-A. According to clinical trials conducted in the last years and based on the latest publications, this technique has advanced. The time needed for the procedure...
متن کاملIntrastromal corneal ring segment implantation for the treatment of keratoconus.
PURPOSE To evaluate the safety and efficacy of intrastromal corneal ring segment implantation using both mechanical and femtosecond-assisted tunnel creation for the treatment of patients with keratoconus. METHODS A retrospective noncomparative interventional study including 96 eyes of 75 patients with keratoconus. All patients had contact lens intolerance and clear central corneas. Corneal tu...
متن کاملCorneal thickness changes after corneal collagen crosslinking for keratoconus and corneal ectasia: one-year results.
PURPOSE To determine the changes in corneal thickness over time after corneal collagen crosslinking (CXL) for keratoconus and corneal ectasia. SETTING Cornea and refractive surgery subspecialty practice. DESIGN Prospective randomized controlled clinical trial. METHODS Corneal thickness at the apex, thinnest point, and pupil center were measured using Scheimpflug imaging (Pentacam) at base...
