Fresh Corneal Lenticule Implantation in Hyperopic Patients With High Astigmatism
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
The refractive combination of high hyperopia with high astigmatism is difficult to treat surgically. In addition, there are not many suitable options to offer such patients presenting with this condition. The method used at the EYE Hospital Pristina using fresh lenticule implantation by ReLex-SMILE is safe and effective method. Fresh Corneal Implantation is a safe treatment for hyperopia with high astigmatism comparing with refractive IOL implantation (loss of accommodation, endophthalmitis). Its primary objective is to increase visual acuity, accommodation process, patient satisfaction which makes patient to enjoy a happier life. We believe this study will be the future of refractive surgery for treating high hyperopia.

Detailed Description
This study is to investigate the effect of fresh corneal lenticule implantation as allogenic implant that will be taken from myopic patients to implant in hyperopic patients with high astigmatism using VisuMax Femtosecond laser - Smile module surgery with primary objective to assess (increase) visual acuity (far, intermediate, near vision) and secondary objective to stabilize (decrease) high astigmatism by reducing K-values.

Other: FRESH CORNEAL LENTICULE IMPLANTATION The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of fresh corneal lenticule implantation as allogenic implant that will be taken from myopic patients to implant in hyperopic patients with high astigmatism using VisuMax Femtosecond Laser-Smile module surgery with primary objective to assess(increase) visual acuity (far, intermediate, near vision) and secondary objective to stabilize(decrease) high astigmatism by reducing K values. Fresh corneal lenticule implantation as allogenic implant that we took from myopic patients (-5.0D) to implant in hyperopic patients (+4.0 D +3.0cyl) according to high K2 values. The stromal pocket diameter was 8 mm, 4mm super incision and 130-µm cap thickness. |

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Increase of visual acuity, accommodation process [12 months]
Using fresh myopic corneal lenticule resulted in the increase of the visual acuity (far, intermediate and near vision)
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Decrease of high hyperopic astigmatism [12 months]
In order to stabilize high hyperopic astigmatism and reduce K-values, the myopic fresh corneal lenticule was implanted.
