Objective: To evaluate aberrometric changes in corneas with keratoconus implanted with intrastromal corneal ring segment (Keraring 355) during a 3-months follow-up.
Design: Prospective, consecutive case series
Methods: In this interventional study, 22 eyes of 21 keratoconic patients with mean age of 29 ± 6 years who underwent KeraRing 355 intrastromal corneal ring insertion using a Pocket Maker Microkeratome for channel creation and completed at least three months of follow-up were included. Uncorrected visual acuity (UCVA), best spectacle corrected visual acuity (BSCVA), refractive outcome, Orbscan finding and corneal aberrations were assessed.
Results: Three months postoperately, Low order aberration (defocus and astigmatism) decreased significantly (P<0.001). No statistically signific.. View More»
