摘要: Purpose To compare the outcomes of implantation 2 models intrastromal corneal ring segments (ICRS) to manage keratoconus. Setting Kartal Training and Research Hospital, Istanbul, Turkey. Methods This study evaluated eyes with keratoconus that had Keraring ICRS (Group A) or Intacs B). The tunnels were created mechanically a femtosecond laser. uncorrected (UDVA) corrected (CDVA) distance visual acuities, refraction, keratometry (K) readings (Orbscan II), complications in groups compared. Results Group A comprised 100 B, 68 eyes. postoperative increase UDVA CDVA was statistically significant both ( P = .018 .024, respectively). There no differences refractive results between laser mechanical tunnel creation. Conclusion Although effective safe managing keratoconus, led more improvement greater reduction maximum K value. Financial Disclosure No author has financial proprietary interest any material method mentioned.
