To compare the Tel-Aviv Protocol, epithelial photorefractive keratectomy (ePRK) combined with corneal crosslinking (CXL), to CXL with alcohol-assisted epithelial removal (Alc-CXL) for progressive keratoconus.

Retrospective study.
All patients underwent Alc-CXL or ePRK, a 50 μm laser ablation of the epithelium with a myopic spherical component and an astigmatic component, followed by CXL. All patients completed at least 1 year of follow-up.
A total of 131 eyes of 131 patients were included in the study. Fifty patients (38%) were included in the Tel-Aviv Protocol group, and 81 patients (62%) were included in the Alc-CXL group. There was a significant improvement in uncorrected distance visual acuity (UDVA) (from 1.22 ± 0.75 logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution [logMAR] to 0.49 ± 0.44 logMAR, P < .001), corrected distance visual acuity (CDVA) (from 0.29 ± 0.17 logMAR to 0.16 ± 0.12 logMAR, P < .001), Kmax (from 48.50 ± 3.00 diopters [D] to 46.50 ± 3.00 D, P < .001), and cylinder (from -3.31 ± 1.70 D to -2.32 ± 1.66 D, P < .001) in the Tel-Aviv Protocol group in comparison with nonsignificant changes in the Alc-CXL group in UDVA (from 0.89 ± 0.62 logMAR to 0.81 ± 0.65 logMAR, P = .23), CDVA (from 0.25 ± 0.21 logMAR to 0.21 ± 0.17 logMAR, P = .10), Kmax (from 46.50 ± 4.50 D to 46.00 ± 4.40 D, P = .08), and cylinder (from -2.99 ± 2.05 D to -2.80 ± 1.75 D, P = .39) at the end of the follow-up period.
The Tel-Aviv Protocol for progressive keratoconus patients provided good improvement in visual acuity and astigmatism while halting the progression of keratoconus.
比较泰尔阿维夫方案(Tel-Aviv Protocol)、上皮光折射性角膜切削术(epithelial photorefractive keratectomy,ePRK)联合角膜交联术(corneal crosslinking,CXL)与酒精辅助上皮去除的 CXL(Alc-CXL)治疗进行性圆锥角膜的效果。

回顾性研究。
所有患者均接受 Alc-CXL 或 ePRK 治疗,前者为 50μm 激光消融术,治疗近视性球镜成分和散光性成分,随后行 CXL。所有患者均完成至少 1 年的随访。
本研究共纳入 131 例(131 只眼)患者。50 例(38%)患者纳入泰尔阿维夫方案组,81 例(62%)患者纳入 Alc-CXL 组。在未经矫正的远视力(uncorrected distance visual acuity,UDVA)(从 1.22±0.75 最小角分辨率对数[logMAR]改善至 0.49±0.44 logMAR,P<0.001)、矫正的远视力(corrected distance visual acuity,CDVA)(从 0.29±0.17 logMAR 改善至 0.16±0.12 logMAR,P<0.001)、最大角膜曲率(Kmax)(从 48.50±3.00 屈光度[D]改善至 46.50±3.00 D,P<0.001)和散光(从 -3.31±1.70 D 改善至 -2.32±1.66 D,P<0.001)方面,泰尔阿维夫方案组均有显著改善,而 Alc-CXL 组在 UDVA(从 0.89±0.62 logMAR 改善至 0.81±0.65 logMAR,P=0.23)、CDVA(从 0.25±0.21 logMAR 改善至 0.21±0.17 logMAR,P=0.10)、Kmax(从 46.50±4.50 D 改善至 46.00±4.40 D,P=0.08)和散光(从 -2.99±2.05 D 改善至 -2.80±1.75 D,P=0.39)方面的变化均无统计学意义。
泰尔阿维夫方案治疗进行性圆锥角膜患者可显著改善视力和散光,同时阻止圆锥角膜进展。
