چکیده

this work is a report 0/9 cases ofarcuate incision for correction 0/astigmatism, after penetrating keratoplasty. plannings were based ojj corneal topography, and the first operation was always arcuate incision alone. 11,e secondary plans were based on refractive errors. the mean of preoperative astigmatism was 6d with the range of5 to 9/). after arcuate incision a/the graft-host interface in the firs' operation, 'he mean reduction ofastigmatism was 3. os/) with the range 0[0.5- 4.5]). mean spherical equivalent change was o.16d. arcuate incision is an appropriate methodfor correction ofastigmatism after pk and can he considered a.s a single procedure for [ow astigmatism, although the results may be unprediaable:

Management of Post-Penetrating Keratoplasty Astigmatism

Penetrating keratoplasty (PK) has emerged as a relatively safe means of restoring vision in corneal opacities and irregularities. Astigmatism is the most common cause of suboptimal vision after corneal transplantation despite a clear corneal graft.1,2 Based on several studies,3615%–31% of patients undergoing PK may develop postoperative astigmatism greater than 5 diopters (D). The astigmatism c...

LASIK for post penetrating keratoplasty astigmatism and myopia.

AIMS To report the results of a series of patients who were treated with LASIK to correct post penetrating keratoplasty ametropia. METHODS 26 eyes of 24 patients underwent LASIK to correct astigmatism and myopia after corneal transplantation; 14 eyes also received arcuate cuts in the stromal bed at the time of surgery. The mean preoperative spherical equivalent was -5.20D and the mean preoper...

Late onset post-keratoplasty astigmatism in patients with keratoconus

Aim: 10 eyes of 10 patients are reported where progression of keratoconus in the host cornea occurred more than 10 years after penetrating keratoplasty with resultant increase in astigmatism. The technique and results of graft refractive surgery in seven eyes are presented. Methods: The clinical features and management of these patients were retrospectively analysed. Graft refractive surgery in...

Long-term outcomes after mechanized arcuate keratotomy for the correction of astigmatism after keratoplasty.

The management of high postoperative astigmatism remains a major challenge for corneal refractive surgeons and various techniques have been evaluated.1 The recent introduction and development of femtosecond laser-assisted keratotomy could potentially combine a wide range of corrections with the accuracy and safety of laser treatment.2,3 Assessing the long-term visual and keratometric outcomes o...

Post-keratoplasty astigmatism management by relaxing incisions: a systematic review

Postoperative visual acuity can be limited by post-keratoplasty astigmatism, even with a clear corneal graft. Astigmatism management can be performed by selective suture removal, adjustment of sutures, optical correction, photorefractive procedures, wedge resection, intra-ocular lens implantation, intracorneal ring segments, relaxing incisions with or without compression sutures and repeated ke...
