Visual rehabilitation by using corneal wavefront-guided transepithelial photorefractive keratectomy for corneal opacities after epidemic keratoconjunctivitis

摘要

Purpose:To evaluate long-term visual and refractive outcomes of corneal wavefront-guided transepithelial photorefractive keratectomy (t-PRK) with mitomycin C for the treatment of corneal opacities secondary to adenoviral epidemic keratoconjunctivitis.Methods:Records of patients who underwent corneal wavefront-guided t-PRK with excimer laser from January 2012 to December 2018 were retrospectively reviewed. Preoperative and postoperative uncorrected visual acuity, best-spectacle corrected visual acuity, slit-lamp biomicroscopic examination findings, manifest refraction, and corneal aberrations and fundus examination findings were evaluated.Results:Twenty-two eyes of 22 patients comprising 12 male (55%) and 10 female (45%) were treated. The mean age was 34.5?±?10.8 years (range 19–55). The mean follow-up time was 34.4?±?17.50 months (range 13–61 months). There was a statistically significant improvement in UCVA and BSCVA (p?
