Abstract
Objective: To evaluate refractive and topographic outcomes following photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) with 75% angle kappa (P-Dist) compensation in myopic eyes.
Methods: This retrospective study included 127 right eyes of patients with myopia and/or myopic astigmatism, who underwent wavefront-optimized PRK, incorporating 75% P-Dist compensation. Visual, refractive, topographic, aberrometric, and point-spread function (PSF) measurements were recorded preoperatively and at 1, 3, and 6 months postoperatively.
Results: The mean P-Dist was 232.13±121.78 μm (range: 31.69-769.84 μm). Eyes were grouped by mean P-Dist: group-1 (<232.13 μm, small-angle kappa, n=67) and group-2 (>232.13 μm, large-angle kappa, n=60). Preoperative P-Dist correlated with root-mean-square of higher-order aberrations (RMS-HOAs) (r=0.24, P=0.01) and coma (r=0.381, P<0.001). Group-2 had higher preoperative coma (P=0.001). At 6 months, the percentage of eyes within ±0.50 diopters (D) spherical equivalent and≤0.50 D astigmatism, visual acuity, asphericity, mean pupil power, HOAs, and PSF were similar between the groups (P>0.05 for all). No correlation was found between preoperative P-Dist and postoperative HOAs or PSF changes (P>0.05 for all).
Conclusions: PRK with 75% angle kappa compensation yields comparable refractive and topographical outcomes in myopic eyes with small- and large-angle kappa. In eyes with a significant angle kappa, aligning ablation with P-Dist may not induce additional corneal refractive or topographical changes.
期刊介绍:
Eye & Contact Lens: Science and Clinical Practice is the official journal of the Contact Lens Association of Ophthalmologists (CLAO), an international educational association for anterior segment research and clinical practice of interest to ophthalmologists, optometrists, and other vision care providers and researchers. Focusing especially on contact lenses, it also covers dry eye disease, MGD, infections, toxicity of drops and contact lens care solutions, topography, cornea surgery and post-operative care, optics, refractive surgery and corneal stability (eg, UV cross-linking). Peer-reviewed and published six times annually, it is a highly respected scientific journal in its field.
