Abstract EN
Purpose.
To evaluate surgically induced astigmatism (SIA) and the average corneal power change in symmetric intrastromal corneal ring segment (ICRS) implantation.
Methods.
The study included 34 eyes of 34 keratoconus patients who underwent symmetric Intacs SK ICRS implantation.
The corneal pocket incision meridian was the preoperative steep meridian.
Corneal power data were obtained before and 3 months after Intacs SK ICRS implantation using scanning-slit topography.
Polar value analysis was used to evaluate the SIA.
Hotelling’s trace test was used to compare intraindividual changes.
Results.
Three months postoperatively, the combined mean polar value for SIA changed significantly (Hotelling’s T2=0.375; P=0.006).
The SIA was 1.54 D at 99° and the average corneal power decreased significantly by 3.8 D.
Conclusion.
Intacs SK ICRS placement decreased the average corneal power and corneal astigmatism compared to the preoperative corneal power and astigmatism when the corneal pocket incision was made at the preoperative steep meridian.
