Purpose.
The aim of this work was to evaluate the results after combined surgery implantation of full rings and CXL in one session in a group of patients with keratoconus during a 12-month follow-up.
Material and Methods.
The study included 22 eyes of 20 keratoconic patients, mean age of 28.41 (from 18 to 50) years.
A full ring was inserted and afterwards 0.1% riboflavin solution was injected into the corneal pocket through the incision tunnel.
The cornea was irradiated with UV-A light for 30 minutes.
Postoperative visits were scheduled for the first week and months 1, 3, 6, 12, and 24 after surgery.
Minimal follow-up time was 12 months.
Results.
The mean UDVA improved by 6 lines from before the operation to 1 year after the operation, the mean CDVA improved by approximately 2.5 lines, and the mean K improved by 3.94 D.
Statistically significant reductions of sphere (P<0.001), cylinder (P=0.004), and spherical (P<0.001) equivalents were found 1 month after surgery.
Conclusion.
The combined surgery MyoRing implantation and CXL seems to be a safe method in the treatment of keratoconus.
We noticed an improvement of the refractive error in all of our patients.
