To compare the outcomes of femtosecond laser-assisted minimally invasive lamellar keratoplasty (FL-MILK) for mild-to-moderate keratoconus (KC) and advanced KC.
Prospective case series study. Sixty-three eyes of 56 patients with progressive KC underwent FL-MILK were divided into group 1 [mean keratometry (Kmean) ≤ 53D] and group 2 (Kmean > 53D). Best spectacle-corrected visual acuity (BSCVA), Kmean, maximum keratometry (Kmax), anterior central corneal elevation (ACE), stiffness parameter A1 (SP-A1) and deformation amplitude (DA) were evaluated preoperatively and up to 24 months postoperatively.
Mean BSCVA improved from 0.34 ± 0.13 logMAR preoperatively to 0.25 ± 0.13 logMAR at 24 months postoperatively in group 1 (F = 10.10, P < .0001), and from 0.54 ± 0.31 logMAR to 0.40 ± 0.26 logMAR (F = 9.06, P = .0002) in group 2. Group 2 showed an average Kmax reduction of 10.9 D and an average Kmean reduction of 3.9 D at 24 months postoperatively (both P < .0001), whereas no significant change was observed in group 1. Average ACE decreased from 19.2 ± 10.0 to 5.2 ± 8.4 at 24 months postoperatively in group 1 (F = 28.5, P < .0001), and from 46.2 ± 16.3 to 19.1 ± 9.0 (F = 49.6, P < .0001) in group 2; SP-A1 increased from 53.8 ± 12.7 mmHg/mm to 95.9 ± 20.2 mmHg/mm in group 1 (F = 70.0, P < .0001), and from 38.6 ± 13.4 mmHg/mm to 89.3 ± 18.2 mmHg/mm (F = 96.9, P < .0001) in group 2; DA decreased from 1.30 ± 0.14 mm to 1.17 ± 0.13 mm in group 1 (F = 14.0, P < .0001), and from 1.40 ± 0.16 mm to 1.18 ± 0.10 mm (F = 27.6, P < .0001) in group 2.
FL-MILK can stabilize progressive KC in mild-to-moderate cases and advanced cases at 24-month follow-up. Steeper corneas are more likely to undergo flattening after FL-MILK.

比较飞秒激光辅助微创角膜层间切削术(FL-MILK)治疗轻中度和进展性圆锥角膜(KC)的疗效。
前瞻性病例系列研究。63 只眼 56 例进展性 KC 患者接受了 FL-MILK 治疗,分为 1 组(平均角膜曲率(Kmean)≤53D)和 2 组(Kmean>53D)。分别于术前和术后 24 个月评估最佳矫正视力(BCVA)、Kmean、最大角膜曲率(Kmax)、前中央角膜隆起(ACE)、硬度参数 A1(SP-A1)和变形幅度(DA)。
1 组术后 24 个月平均 BCVA 从术前的 0.34±0.13 logMAR 提高到 0.25±0.13 logMAR(F=10.10,P<0.0001),2 组从术前的 0.54±0.31 logMAR 提高到 0.40±0.26 logMAR(F=9.06,P=0.0002)。2 组术后 24 个月 Kmax 平均降低 10.9D,Kmean 平均降低 3.9D(均 P<0.0001),而 1 组无明显变化。1 组术后 24 个月 ACE 从术前的 19.2±10.0 降低到 5.2±8.4(F=28.5,P<0.0001),2 组从术前的 46.2±16.3 降低到 19.1±9.0(F=49.6,P<0.0001);SP-A1 在 1 组从术前的 53.8±12.7mmHg/mm 增加到 95.9±20.2mmHg/mm(F=70.0,P<0.0001),2 组从术前的 38.6±13.4mmHg/mm 增加到 89.3±18.2mmHg/mm(F=96.9,P<0.0001);DA 在 1 组从术前的 1.30±0.14mm 降低到 1.17±0.13mm(F=14.0,P<0.0001),2 组从术前的 1.40±0.16mm 降低到 1.18±0.10mm(F=27.6,P<0.0001)。
FL-MILK 可稳定轻中度和进展性 KC 患者在 24 个月随访时的角膜曲率,较陡的角膜更有可能在 FL-MILK 后变平。
