Aim.
To report a case of 40-year-old male with progressive bilateral keratoconus who had undergone transepithelial phototherapeutic keratectomy (TE-PTK) and corneal collagen cross-linking (CXL) using hypoosmolar riboflavin solution in a same day procedure.
Methods.
Eye examination showed that UCDVA on both eyes was 0,01 according to Snellen charts, and slit lamp biomicroscopy showed paracentral diffuse intrastromal corneal haze.
Anterior OCT marked stromal hyperreflective zones and localized paracentral thinning of the cornea.
Scheimpflug tomography noted keratoconus stages III-IV on both eyes.
After 40/35 microns TE-PTK, a CXL was performed for 30 minutes using hypoosmolar riboflavin solution.
The left eye was treated first and the right eye 1 month after.
Follow-up period was 10 months.
Results.
One month after the treatment both eyes showed improvement in corneal topography and the UCDVA was better.
Eight months after the treatment BSCVA improved to 0,6 in both eyes using Rose K2 contact lenses and remained stable.
Conclusion.
TE-PTK and CXL using hypotonic riboflavin solution as a same day procedure have been shown to be a safe and promising method in this case of progressive keratoconus.
It was necessary to consider certain parameters that could influence the safety and the final outcome of this combined protocol.
