To describe visual and refractive outcomes of intrastromal corneal ring segments (ICRS) and toric implantable collamer lenses (TICL) implantation in cases of mild and moderate keratoconus.
A prospective descriptive interventional case series. 40 eyes were allocated into two groups. First group (20 eyes) was treated with corneal collagen crosslinking (CXL) 1 month after ICRS implantation and the second group was treated using TICL after 1 year of CXL.
Both groups showed statistically significant improvement in spherical equivalent, cylindrical refraction, uncorrected visual acuity (UCVA) and best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) over the follow-up period.
Both ICRS and TICL are effective in treatment of mid and moderate keratoconus with more predictable visual results with TICL.
描述基质内角膜环段(ICRS)和可植入式矫正散光胶原透镜(TICL)植入术治疗轻、中度圆锥角膜的视力和屈光结果。
前瞻性描述性干预性病例系列。40 只眼被分为两组。第一组(20 只眼)在 ICRS 植入后 1 个月行角膜交联术(CXL),第二组在 CXL 后 1 年行 TICL。
两组在随访期间,球镜等效、圆柱镜屈光、未矫正视力(UCVA)和最佳矫正视力(BCVA)均有统计学意义上的显著改善。
ICRS 和 TICL 治疗中、中度圆锥角膜均有效,TICL 具有更可预测的视力结果。
