[RESULTS AND EFFECTIVENESS OF KERARING IMPLANTATION WITH THE HELP OF FEMTOSECOND LASER PATIENTS WITH KERATOCONUS].

Abstract

In our study 58 eyes with III stage keratoconus underwent surgery using femtosecond laser Ziemer Cristalline (Switzerland) intracorneal stromal ring segment implantation (Keraring). We examine eyes before and after the surgery with the help of special ophthalmic equipment (visometry, tonometry, biomicroscopy, ophthalmoscopy autorefkeratometry, pakhimetry, and corneal topography). The last measurement was done with Scheimpflug camera on Pentacam (Oculus). In the present study there were no intraoperative complications. We compared outcomes before and 6 months after surgery. Statistical analisys was done with Styudents criteria. It was reviled that in all patients who underwent the intrastromal corneal ring Keraring implantation we get statistically significant improvement of all results.
