PURPOSE: The point of interest of this retrospective case review is to study refractive changes caused by the hinged lamellar keratotomy and the refractive outcome after laser ablation in a second step within the scope of laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) in patients with penetrating keratoplasty.
METHODS: Data from eight patients obtained before lamellar keratotomy, before laser ablation, and three months later were evaluated. Keratotomies were performed with the Moria((R)) LSK one and the Amadeus((R)) 2 microkeratome, laser ablation was performed with the Schwind((R)) Keratome I and the Wavelight((R)) Allegretto WaveEyeQ.
RESULTS: Uncorrected visual acuity (UCVA) improved significantly from 1 [logMar] to 0.4 [logMar] at the last visit. Median gain of UCVA was 7.38 +/- 2.96 Snellen lines. Best spectacle-corrected visual acuity did not change significantly. Preoperative manifest refraction spherical equivalent decreased from -4.02 +/- 4.77 diopters (D) to -1.11 +/- 2.45 D after laser ablation. Mean preoperative manifest astigmatism was -7.27 +/- 3.65 D, after lamellar keratotomy -6.72 +/- 3.68 D, and after laser ablation -2.08 +/- 1.80 D. Manifest astigmatism did not change significantly after the keratotomy.
CONCLUSIONS: Lamellar keratotomy causes biomechanical changes to the cornea. We favor a two-step LASIK in penetrating keratoplasty patients in order to improve precision and predictability of the refractive outcome.
