PURPOSE: To investigate the correlations between preoperative, operative, and postoperative factors and corneal graft topographic parameters after deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty (DALK) performed in keratoconus-affected eyes.
METHODS: This prospective, interventional study enrolled 44 eyes. Graft topographic parameters, including keratometric astigmatism and the surface regularity index (SRI), were assessed after complete suture removal. Univariate analyses were used to evaluate the effects of preoperative factors (donor quality, donor and recipient age, keratoconus severity), operative factors (graft size, donor button roundness, roundness and centration of the donor-recipient junction), and postoperative factors (time point of suture removal) on postoperative topographic parameters.
RESULTS: The roundness of the donor-recipient junction after complete suture removal had a significant association with the roundness of the donor button after trephination (P = 0.04) and the amount of graft decentration relative to the limbus (P = 0.03). A significant correlation was found between the value of graft decentration relative to the limbus and postoperative keratometric astigmatism (P = 0.001) and between the roundness of the donor-recipient junction and the postoperative SRI (P = 0.02). The flat axis of the keratometric astigmatism and the longer axis of the graft lay in the direction of graft displacement. Other investigated factors had no significant association with postoperative topographic indices.
CONCLUSION: Graft displacement relative to the limbus and roundness of the donor-recipient junction were the main predictors of graft astigmatism and regularity, respectively, after DALK. Noncircularity of the donor button after trephination could increase the graft surface irregularity indirectly by influencing the roundness of the surgical wound.
