Description
Summary:To compare the measurement of contrast sensitivity at a distance in patients submitted to penetrating keratoplasty versus patients submitted to deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty for keratoconus treatment. Contrast sensitivity of fourteen subjects submitted to penetrating keratoplasty and fourteen subjects submitted to deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty have been analyzed through the Functional Acuity Contrast Test (F.A.C.T) 301. There was no statistically significant difference between the measurements of either penetrating keratoplasty or deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty. Contrast sensitivity was similar among the subjects submitted to penetrating keratoplasty and to deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty.
