Purpose:
|
To evaluate long-term follow-up of full-ring intracorneal implant (MyoRing) for the management of keratoconus
|
|
Methods:
|
Of the total 69 patients contacted, 37 patients (40 eyes) (19 male and 18 female) with moderate and severe keratoconus ages 17 to 45 years who underwent myoring(Dioptex GmbH) implantation using a PocketMaker Microkeratome and attend 3 years of follow-up appointments were included in this study . The uncorrected visual acuity (UCVA) , best spectacle-corrected visual acuity (BSCVA), refraction, and keratometry (K) readings were measured and evaluated clinically and statistically preoperatively and 3 years postoperatively .
|
|
Results:
|
No intraoperative complications were demonstrated in this series of patients .Three years postoperatively, there was significant improvement in UCVA, BSCVA, K readings, spherical equivalent (SE), central corneal thickness (CCT) and manifest sphere and cylinder (P<0.05).
|
|
Conclusion:
|
: After three years, Myoring implantation improved UCVA, BSCVA, and refraction in the majority of the keratoconus patients. Myoring implantation using PocketMaker Microkeratome is a minimally invasive procedure for improving visual acuity (both UCVA and BSCVA) in keratoconic patients
