To evaluate factors influencing good and poor outcomes after intracorneal ring segment implantation to correct keratoconus.
Instituto Oftalmológico de Alicante (Vissum Corporation), University of Miguel Hernandez, Alicante, Spain.
A retrospective comparative study of the visual outcome, 25 eyes of 21 patients were implanted after intracorneal ring segments (Intacs, Addition Technology) as a method to correct keratoconus. Outcomes were evaluated 6 months after implantation based on the visual results. Group A comprised 20 eyes that gained 3 lines or more of best spectacle-corrected visual acuity (BSCVA) to correct keratoconus, and Group B comprised 5 eyes that lost 1 line of BSCVA.
In Group A, the preoperative mean BSCVA was 0.43 (20/50) and the postoperative mean BSCVA, 0.82 (20/20) (P< or =.0001). In Group B, the preoperative mean BSCVA was 0.36 (20/63) and the postoperative mean BSCVA, 0.24 (20/80) (P< or =.02). The preoperative mean sphere power was 3.90 diopters (D) greater in Group B than in Group A (P< or =.007); the mean spherical equivalent was 4.36 D greater (P< or =.007), and the mean K-reading was 6.91 D greater (P< or =.001). The postoperative reduction in spherical dioptric power was 2.11 D (P< or =.027) and the mean spherical equivalent, 2.81 D (P< or =.003), significant only in Group A. The reduction in mean central K-readings was 4.30 D (P< or =.0001) in Group A and 6.19 D (P< or =.014) in Group B. The correlation of the preoperative mean K value to the postoperative BSCVA was significant at the .01 level by the Pearson test (-0.67). In Group A, all eyes (100%) had a mean K-reading < or =53 D. In Group B, 4 eyes (80%) had a mean K-reading > or =55 D.
Intacs provided better results in visual acuity and corneal topography quality and significantly reduced the spherical equivalent in eyes with keratoconus with relatively low mean K values (< or =53 D) and a relatively low spherical equivalent. In advanced keratoconus (mean K-reading > or =55 D), poor results can be anticipated.
评估角膜内环植入术矫正圆锥角膜后影响预后良好或不良的因素。
西班牙阿利坎特米格尔·埃尔南德斯大学阿利坎特眼科研究所(维苏姆公司)。
一项关于视觉预后的回顾性对照研究,21例患者的25只眼接受了角膜内环(Intacs,Addition Technology公司)植入术以矫正圆锥角膜。根据术后6个月的视觉结果评估预后。A组包括20只眼,其最佳矫正视力(BSCVA)提高了3行或更多以矫正圆锥角膜,B组包括5只眼,其BSCVA下降了1行。
A组术前平均BSCVA为0.43(20/50),术后平均BSCVA为0.82(20/20)(P≤0.0001)。B组术前平均BSCVA为0.36(20/63),术后平均BSCVA为0.24(20/80)(P≤0.02)。B组术前平均球镜度数比A组高3.90屈光度(D)(P≤0.007);平均等效球镜度数高4.36 D(P≤0.007),平均角膜曲率读数高6.91 D(P≤0.001)。术后球镜度数降低2.11 D(P≤0.027),平均等效球镜度数降低2.81 D(P≤0.003),仅在A组有统计学意义。A组平均中央角膜曲率读数降低4.30 D(P≤0.0001),B组降低6.19 D(P≤0.014)。术前平均角膜曲率值与术后BSCVA的相关性经Pearson检验在α = 0.01水平有统计学意义(-0.67)。A组所有眼(100%)平均角膜曲率读数≤53 D。B组4只眼(80%)平均角膜曲率读数≥55 D。
对于平均角膜曲率值相对较低(≤53 D)且等效球镜度数相对较低的圆锥角膜患者,Intacs在视力和角膜地形图质量方面提供了更好的结果,并显著降低了等效球镜度数。在晚期圆锥角膜(平均角膜曲率读数≥55 D)中,预后可能较差。
