Comparison of Long-Term Outcomes of the Lamellar and Penetrating Keratoplasty Approaches in Patients with Keratoconus
We compared the visual and refractive outcomes, intraocular pressure (IOP), endothelial cell loss (ECL), and adverse events in keratoconus patients after deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty (DALK) and penetrating keratoplasty (PK) with the best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) below 0.3 (logMAR 0.52)....

description | We compared the visual and refractive outcomes, intraocular pressure (IOP), endothelial cell loss (ECL), and adverse events in keratoconus patients after deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty (DALK) and penetrating keratoplasty (PK) with the best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) below 0.3 (logMAR 0.52). This is a prospective, comparative cohort study of 90 eyes (90 patients) with a clinical diagnosis of keratoconus. Patients underwent a complete eye examination before the surgical approach, 6 and 12 months postoperatively that consisted of BCVA, refractive astigmatism (AS), central corneal thickness (CCT), IOP, and ECL. Secondary outcomes were adverse events related to the surgical procedure. With lower ECL and less adverse events, DALK was revealed to be beneficial over PK with similar visual outcomes. Results: There was no significant difference between the BCVA in the DALK and PK groups (at 6 months: 0.49 ± 0.17 vs. 0.48 ± 0.17; p = 0.48; at 12 months: 0.54 ± 0.17 vs. 0.52 ± 0.14; p = 0.41). The mean value of AS was significantly lower after the PK procedure when compared to DALK, after both 6 and 12 months of follow up (p < 0.001). The CCT in the DALK group was significantly lower when compared to the PK group (at 6 months: 452.1 ± 89.1 µm vs. 528.9 ± 69.9 µm, p < 0.0001; at 12 months: 451.6 ± 83.5 µm vs. 525.5 ± 37.1 µm). The endothelial cell loss at 12 months after surgery was significantly lower after DALK when compared to PK (p < 0.0001). DALK transplantation should be considered as an alternative procedure in the surgical treatment of keratoconus. |
