Femtosecond astigmatic keratotomy for postkeratoplasty astigmatism

To evaluate the initial outcomes of femtosecond laser arcuate keratotomies (AK) to correct high astigmatism after keratoplasty. This retrospective non-comparative interventional study included 52 consecutive patients (52 eyes) who underwent Intralase-enabled arcuate keratotomies. Changes in uncorrec...

Description
Summary:To evaluate the initial outcomes of femtosecond laser arcuate keratotomies (AK) to correct high astigmatism after keratoplasty. This retrospective non-comparative interventional study included 52 consecutive patients (52 eyes) who underwent Intralase-enabled arcuate keratotomies. Changes in uncorrected visual acuity (UCVA), best spectacle-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), mean refractive and keratometric astigmatism, preoperative and postoperative manifest refraction and complications were the main outcome measures. The mean follow-up period was 13.77±4.17months. Mean BCVA and UCVA improved statistically significantly from 0.30±0.18 LogMAR and 0.90±0.43 LogMAR preoperatively to 0.20±0.14 and 0.60±0.39 postoperatively respectively (P
