Scheimpflug-Derived Corneal Lower and Higher Order Aberrations Post Intrastromal Corneal Ring Segments for Keratoconus
Intrastromal corneal ring segments (ICRS) improve corneal topographic symmetry and reduce corneal aberrations through regularization of the corneal surface, thereby functioning as a viable surgical intervention for patients with keratoconus. This study aims to evaluate changes in lower- (LOAs) and h...

description | Intrastromal corneal ring segments (ICRS) improve corneal topographic symmetry and reduce corneal aberrations through regularization of the corneal surface, thereby functioning as a viable surgical intervention for patients with keratoconus. This study aims to evaluate changes in lower- (LOAs) and higher-order aberrations (HOAs) amongst varying pupil sizes pre- and post- ICRS implantation in keratoconus patients. We specifically investigate the impact of pupil size on total corneal HOAs up to the 6th order. Twenty-one eyes that underwent ICRS implantation were included in this prospective interventional study. LOAs and HOAs measurements at the 6 mm, 4 mm, and 2 mm pupil diameters were collected preoperatively and at 6 months postoperatively using the Zernicke analysis function on a Scheimpflug device. ICRS implantation demonstrated a statistically significant effect in vertical coma with a −0.23 reduction (p = 0.015) for a 4 mm pupil size and a −1.384 reduction (p < 0.001) for 6 mm, with no significant effect at 2 mm. Horizontal coma, astigmatism 0°, astigmatism 45°, trefoil 5th order 30°, and RMS HOA demonstrated significant reductions at 4 mm or 6 mm pupil sizes but not at 2 mm. Our analysis demonstrates a favorable effect of ICRS implantation on larger pupil sizes, suggesting the importance of pupil size as it correlates with HOAs reduction. |
