Impact of preoperative corneal curvature on the outcome of penetrating keratoplasty in keratoconus.

PURPOSE: To assess the impact of the patient's preoperative corneal curvature on the refractive outcome after penetrating keratoplasty (PK) in keratoconus before and after suture removal. PATIENTS AND METHODS: In this retrospective cross-sectional clinical study, 236 keratoconus patients (mean age 37 +/- 11 years) were divided into four groups based on their preoperative keratometric (K-) readings: group 1, <50 diopters (D) (n = 24); group 2, <60 D (n = 52); group 3, > or =60 D (n = 101); group 4, irregular corneal shape with unmeasurable K-reading (n = 59). An 8.0/8.1-mm central round PK was performed using 193 nm Meditec excimer laser trephination along metal masks with eight "orientation teeth/notches." A 16-bite double running cross-stitch suture was applied in all cases. Postoperative examinations were performed before removal of the first suture (ie, 12 months) and after removal of the second suture (ie, 18 months). The outcome measures included central power (C-power), keratometric astigmatism (AST), surface regularity index (SRI), surface asymmetry index (SAI), spherical equivalent (SEQ), refractive cylinder (Cyl), and best corrected visual acuity (BCVA).

agree  JaneTranslates: This is the answer I thought of preclick. Do you mean that some people look down on paper-and-cardboard references as opposed to online? Not me, for sure! ;-)

  -> Thanks, I just get insulted a lot as if my references aren't good enough because you can get free access to them. We can't all afford things like termium, I guess.

disagree  Hervé du Verle: Sorry Anna but you got only 50% of the answer as your references deal with MRI sequences though they may be a useful tool in ophtalmology
