Purpose:
|
To assess outcomes of femtosecond laser astigmatic keratotomy (femto-AK), astigmatic keratotomy with a diamond knife (AK) and Laser in-situ keratomileusis (LASIK) procedures in the treatment of high astigmatism
|
Methods:
|
A retrospective review was performed on thirty patients. Eleven patients underwent LASIK surgery with Nidec 5000. AK was performed for 11 cases with a diamond knife (Ellis) on routine manner. For eight patients (11 eyes) the operation was performed using a femtosecond laser (FEMTEC R, Technolas Perfect Vision, GmbH, Heidelberg, Germany) to create paired arcuate cuts (Bascom Palmer nomogram).
|
Results:
|
Preoperative spherical equivalent was zero in all patients and average follow up was 6 months. In femto AK patient group, mean preoperative UCVA (logMAR) and mean cylinder significantly improved in 3 and 6 month (p<0.001and p=0.001, respectively). Significant difference in UCVA achieved by LASIK and AK which was 0.43 and 0.8±0.18 respectively (p=0.03).The amount of spherical correction was -0.5±0.76D, -1.6±0.6, -1.67±0.19 in LASIK, AK and femto-AK group (p=0.001). There was also significant reduction of cylinder in both AK and LASIK groups, -2.29 and -2.14 D respectively.
|
Conclusion:
|
Astigmatic keratotomy using femtosecond laser seems valuable in reducing corneal astigmatism while the center of cornea is not manipulated.
