Femtosecond laser-assisted anterior lamellar keratoplasty with suboptimal outcomes: a case series
نویسندگان
چکیده
Objective To identify preoperative clinical characteristics of patients undergoing femtosecond laser-assisted anterior lamellar keratoplasty who failed to achieve optimal postoperative visual outcomes. Methods In this single-center, retrospective case series, underwent between 2013 and 2018 were included if they required graft revision, subsequent corneal procedure, or additional visits for a keratoplasty-related issue. Visual outcomes assessed best-corrected acuities astigmatism. Results Eight eyes eight [...]

Femtosecond laser-assisted lamellar keratoplasty.
Lamellar keratoplasty consists of transplanting partial-thickness donor cornea onto a complementary recipient bed. Manual lamellar dissection is technically very difficult, time-consuming, and imprecise. Also, the manually-dissected lamellar interface often has topographical irregularities that may optically degrade the best-corrected visual acuity. The femtosecond clinical laser (IntraLase FS ...
متن کاملModified femtosecond laser-assisted sutureless anterior lamellar keratoplasty.
A variation of the femtosecond laser-assisted sutureless anterior lamellar keratoplasty technique using a femtosecond laser incision for surgical management of anterior corneal disease is described. Six patients with corneal scars were treated with the laser to create a horizontal lamellar bed interface in the cornea of the donor and recipient eyes, with a manual partial-thickness vertical trep...
متن کاملFemtosecond Laser Assisted Deep Anterior Lamellar Keratoplasty Outcomes and Healing Patterns Compared to Manual Technique
The purpose of the study is to report the visual, refractive, and wound healing pattern outcomes of femtosecond assisted deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty (DALK) compared to the conventional manual technique. DALK was performed on 50 eyes of 47 advanced keratoconus patients. The patients were divided into two groups, 25 eyes each, depending on whether femtosecond assisted or manual DALK techn...

BACKGROUND To compare outcomes of femtosecond laser-assisted deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty (FSL-DALK) and penetrating keratoplasty (FSL-PK) for the treatment of keratoconus. METHODS Twenty eight eyes underwent FSL-DALK (consisted of 12 eyes in the FSL-DALKa subgroup without baring the Descemet's membrane and 16 eyes in the FSL-DALKb subgroup baring the Descemet's membrane using big-bubb...
متن کاملAnterior lamellar keratoplasty assisted by IntraLase™ femtosecond laser in a pediatric patient.
A 14-year-old boy affected by keratoconus underwent an anterior lamellar keratoplasty assisted by IntraLase femtosecond laser (Abbott Medical Optics, Abbott Park, IL). Results after 2 years of follow-up indicate the procedure may be safe and effective in pediatric patients.
