Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

Interventional and comparative prospective study: Sixty-nine eyes (38 patients) suffering from keratoconus (stages 1-2 Amsler-Krumeich classification) will be divided into four groups. The four groups underwent topography- and non-topography-guided PRK with sequential and simultaneous CXL. The main outcome measures will be pre-and postoperative uncorrected distance visual acuity (UDVA), best-corrected distance visual acuity (CDVA), manifest refraction, contrast sensitivity, and keratometry

Arms and Interventions

Arm Intervention/Treatment
Experimental: Photorefractive Keratectomy with Corneal Cross-Linking

For correction of refractive error

Procedure: Photorefractive Keratectomy with Corneal Cross-Linking
To our knowledge, this study is one of the first to compare the visual results of non-topography-guided and topography-guided photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) applying sequential and simultaneous corneal cross-linking (CXL) treatment for keratoconus. Considering recent advances in cross-linking and imaging in keratoconus, the outcomes of this study can lead us to several non-invasive algorithm management options.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

  1. Visual Acuity [3 year]

    Evaluation of the uncorrected visual acuity, best corrected visual acuity, astigmatism, intraocular pressure and endothelial cell loss before and after the last operation.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion criteria for the study focused on patients over 34 (range from 34 to 41) with stable corneal topography and refraction for at least six months and an estimated residual bed thickness of >410 µm.

exclusion from the study included the presence of macular or retinal disease, dry eye, history of recurrent corneal erosions, anterior segment abnormalities, unstable refractive error, post-surgically residual stromal bed thickness of under 350 mm, autoimmune disease, collagen vascular disease, immunosuppressive therapy, or current use of systemic corticosteroids, diabetes mellitus, pregnancy, and lactation.
