Résumé
The aim of this study was to report the 12 to 96 months results of a tissue-preservation algorithm based on ray-tracing-guided transepithelial excimer laser central corneal ablation (RT t-PRK) combined with individualized pachymetry-guided accelerated crosslinking (M nomogram ACXL) in young adult patients with stable keratoconus (KC). This was a prospective interventional study including 38 eyes of 38 young adult patients (stage II KC) with a mean age of 35 years (range 26-46 years) who underwent simultaneous RT with t-PRK plus pachymetry-based ACXL in the worst eye. The treatments were performed using the iViS Suite iRES Excimer Laser (Ligi, Taranto, Italy). Ray-tracing-guided treatments were planned using the customized interactive programmed transepithelial ablation (CIPTA) 2 web software and diagnostic data were assessed by the Precisio 2 tomographer (Ligi, Taranto, Italy) and Sirius tomographer (C.S.O., Florence, Italy). The main outcome measures included uncorrected distance visual acuity, best spectacle-corrected visual acuity, Kmax, high-order aberrations, minimum corneal thickness, and posterior elevation, with a mean follow-up of 52 months (range 12-96 m). The mean UDVA improved + 3.5 ±1.28 Snellen lines (SL); 38% gained ≥ 4 ±1.34 SLs, 35% ≥ 3 ±1.21 SLs, 22% ≥ 2 ±1.12 SLs, and 5% ≥ 1 ±0.75 SLs. The mean best spectacle-corrected visual acuity increased by + 4.3 ±1.3 SL. Sixty-eight percent gained ≥ 4 ±0.88 SLs and 30% ≥ 3 ±0.78 SL. No SLs were lost. RT t-PRK plus ACXL significantly improved the quality of vision in patients with KC, preventing overcorrection and minimizing tissue consumption.
