To evaluate the combined effect of conductive keratoplasty (CK) followed by corneal collagen cross-linking (CXL) in 2 patients with keratoconus.
CK spots were applied on the flatter side of the cornea followed by CXL using riboflavin and UV-A light.
Immediately after CK, a significant corneal topographic improvement was observed. The CK effect regressed 3 months postoperatively and remained unchanged until the sixth postoperative month in both patients.
Corneal remodeling with CK in patients with keratoconus seems to have a temporary effect despite the subsequent application of CXL.
评估角膜胶原交联(CXL)联合传导性角膜成形术(CK)治疗圆锥角膜的效果。
在角膜较平坦的部位施行 CK 治疗,随后应用核黄素和 UV-A 光施行 CXL。
施行 CK 后即刻观察到显著的角膜地形学改善。在两名患者中,CK 作用在术后 3 个月消退,直到术后第 6 个月都没有变化。
尽管施行 CXL,但 CK 治疗圆锥角膜后的角膜重塑似乎仅具有暂时效果。
