PURPOSE: To evaluate clinical outcomes in patients with asymmetric duck phenotype keratoconus implanted with asymmetric progressive thickness intrastromal corneal ring segments (PT-ICRS, Keraring AS, Mediphacos, Belo Horizonte, Brazil), and to demonstrate improved visual acuity and symmetry in corneal flattening.
METHODS: This single-center, retrospective, observational study evaluated the clinical outcomes at 1, 3, and 6 months after implantation of PT-ICRS in patients with duck phenotype keratoconus. After creating the intrastromal tunnel with a femtosecond laser, one 160-degree arc length PT-ICRS, either 150/250 µm or 200/300 µm, was implanted. Changes in uncorrected distance visual acuity (UDVA), corrected distance visual acuity (CDVA), manifest refraction (MR), manifest refraction spherical equivalent (MRSE), mean keratometry (Kmean), maximum keratometry (Kmax), Coma@5mm, and manifest and topographical astigmatism were documented.
RESULTS: The study cohort included 23 eyes of 17 patients with a mean age of 24.6 years. From baseline to 6 months following implantation, mean UDVA improved from 0.70 logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution (logMAR) (20/100 Snellen) to 0.22 logMAR (20/33 Snellen), CDVA improved from 0.33 logMAR (20/42 Snellen) to 0.14 logMAR (20/27 Snellen), the mean sphere and MRSE decreased from -1.05 diopters (D) and -2.70 D to -0.25 D and -0.80 D, respectively, and the Kmean and Kmax improved from 46.5 D and 53.7 D to 44.6 D and 48.7 D, respectively.
CONCLUSIONS: The Keraring AS ICRS offers a safe, effective means of improving visual acuity while reducing refractive error, mean and max keratometry, and aberrations in patients with duck phenotype keratoconus.
