PURPOSE: To compare the changes in corneal biomechanical properties and corneal tomography between transepithelial customized corneal crosslinking (C-CXL) and epithelium-off accelerated corneal crosslinking (A-CXL) in eyes with keratoconus.
METHODS: Twenty eyes in 20 consecutive patients who underwent C-CXL (C-CXL group) and 20 eyes in 20 patients who underwent A-CXL (A-CXL group) were included in this retrospective comparative study. The corneal biomechanical properties were analyzed using a Scheimpflug-based tonometer, and all corneas were examined by anterior segment optical coherence tomography (AS-OCT) before and 3 months after surgery. The corneal biomechanical parameters analyzed were the maximum inverse radius, deformation amplitude (DA) ratio max (2 mm), stiffness parameter at applanation 1, and integrated radius. The AS-OCT parameters analyzed included average keratometry, corneal astigmatism, maximum keratometry reading (Kmax), higher-order irregularity, and asymmetry.
RESULTS: In the C-CXL group, there were significant improvements in biomechanical parameters, including the maximum inverse radius, the DA ratio max (2 mm), and the integrated radius after surgery (P = 0.037, P = 0.002, and P = 0.003, respectively). In the C-CXL group, there was a significant decrease in the Kmax, higher-order irregularity, and asymmetry components (P = 0.014, P = 0.008, and P = 0.016, respectively). The biomechanical properties and AS-OCT parameters did not change significantly in the A-CXL group after surgery. According to multiple regression analyses, C-CXL had a greater effect than A-CXL in improving the maximum inverse radius, DA ratio max (2 mm), integrated radius, Kmax, asymmetry component, and higher-order irregularity component.
CONCLUSIONS: C-CXL might improve the biomechanical properties and irregular shape of the cornea from the early postoperative period to a greater extent than A-CXL.
