Femtosecond laser-assisted implantation of complete versus incomplete rings for keratoconus treatment
PURPOSE To compare complete versus incomplete ring implantation for keratoconus correction. METHODS We investigated 25 eyes of keratoconic patients, of which 15 had femtosecond-assisted MyoRing corneal implantation (Group 1) and 10 had femtosecond-assisted Keraring segments (Group 2). Uncorrected distance visual acuity (UCVA), best corrected distance visual acuity (BCVA), mean K (K m), sphere...
متن کاملConfocal biomicroscopic changes of the corneal layers following femtosecond laser-assisted MyoRing implantation in keratoconus
PURPOSE To evaluate the effect of the femtosecond laser-assisted MyoRing implantation on the confocal biomicroscopic findings in different corneal layers of the patients with keratoconus. METHODS Twelve eyes of 12 patients with mild to moderate keratoconus (keratometry between 48 and 52 diopters) and intolerance to hard contact lens entered the study. All the included patients underwent femto...
متن کاملPenetrating Keratoplasty for Keratoconus – Excimer Versus Femtosecond Laser Trephination
BACKGROUND In case of keratoconus, rigid gas-permeable contact lenses as the correction method of first choice allow for a good visual acuity for quite some time. In a severe stage of the disease with major cone-shaped protrusion of the cornea, even specially designed keratoconus contact lenses are no more tolerated. In case of existing contraindications for intrastromal ring segments, corneal ...
متن کاملExcimer versus Femtosecond Laser Assisted Penetrating Keratoplasty in Keratoconus and Fuchs Dystrophy: Intraoperative Pitfalls
Purpose. To assess the intraoperative results comparing two non-mechanical laser assisted penetrating keratoplasty approaches in keratoconus and Fuchs dystrophy. Patients and Methods. 68 patients (age 18 to 87 years) with keratoconus or Fuchs dystrophy were randomly distributed to 4 groups. 35 eyes with keratoconus and 33 eyes with Fuchs dystrophy were treated with either excimer laser ([Exc] g...
متن کاملCombined femtosecond laser-assisted intracorneal ring segment implantation and corneal collagen cross-linking for correction of keratoconus
PURPOSE To assess the safety, predictability, and effectiveness of Keraring intrastromal corneal ring segments (ICRS) insertion assisted by femtosecond laser and corneal collagen cross-linking (CXL) for keratoconus correction. PATIENTS AND METHODS In this prospective, noncomparative, and interventional case series, 160 eyes of 100 adult keratoconus patients with poor best-corrected visual acu...
