Combined accelerated corneal collagen crosslinking and intrastromal Kerarings implantation for treatment of advanced superior keratoconus
Abstract: Purpose: To report early results of combined accelerated corneal collagen crosslinking (CXL) and intrastromal Kerarings implantation by femtosecond laser in a case of advanced superior keratoconus.Methods: The patient was a 27-year-old male with left eye grade 3 keratoconus with superior cone. He was diagnosed by Sirius Scheimpflug corneal topography (CSO, Florence, Italy). The right eye had previously been subjected to penetrating keratoplasty. The uncorrected visual acuity (UCVA) in the right eye (RE) was 1.2 LogMAR, best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) was 0.8 by a refraction of -7.50Ds -3.00Dc @12. The UCVA in the left eye (LE) was 1.2 LogMAR, BCVA was 0.9 by a refraction of -8.50 Ds -5.50Dc @169. Intrastromal Kerarings implantation by femtosecond laser was carried out by IntraLase (iFS, Abbott) along with accelerated transepithelial corneal collagen crosslinking by KXL system (Avedro, USA) in the same session. Follow-up was done for a period of 12 months after surgery. Resul...
