Introduction • Hyperopia after Radial Keratotomy (RK) • PERK: 43% hyperopic shift > 1 D at 10 years1 • After RK corneas are flat, irregular and biomechanically unstable1 • Need for customized ablation • LASIK many complications2-7 • Opening of the RK incisions during flap lift • Epithelial ingrowth, buttonhole flap, DLK, ectasia3,9,10 • PRK risk of haze11-13 • Increased with topography-guided ablations (deeper) 13 • Decreased with the use of Mitomycin-C (MMC)13 1.

Purpose Study corneal wavefront-guided PRK with MMC 0.02% for correcting hyperopia and astigmatism after RK Prospective study, 70 eyes of 42 patients Hyperopia up to +8.50 D; astigmatism up to -4.5 D Mean of 19 years after RK Mean of 7.8 RK incisions per eye (4 to 14) 37% had between 1 and 4 AK incisions Esiris-SchwindCorwave® (ø up to 10-mm OZ) Preoperative corneal wavefront analysis was performed with a Keratron Scout Topographer MMC 0.02% for 20 to 40 seconds Methods RC. Ghanem, Poster WCC 2010
Results Spherical Equivalent (SE) Preoperative Mean SE was +4.2 D ± 2.0 At 12 months Mean SE was -0.1 D ± 1.0 (P<0.001; WilcoxonTest), RC.Ghanem, Poster WCC2010
Complications Corneal Haze Case examples Central haze 1+ Peripheral haze 2+ Paracentralhaze 3+ RC. Ghanem, Poster WCC 2010
Complications • One eye developed keratectasia due to widening of an inferior radial incision six months after surgery. Fem, 47y, RK in 1987 (-3,00) A-before PRK B-ablationprofile C-after 6 mothsD-after 24 months RC. Ghanem, Poster WCC 2010
Conclusion Customized surface ablation is becoming the technique of choice for hyperopia after RK Corneal WF-guided PRK with MMC for hyperopia and astigmatism after RK showed Good efficacy, predictability and stability Favorable safety profile Significant improvement in BSCVA 1. Absence of flap-related complications 2. “Topography-guided” ablation with a large ablation zone 2.1 treatment of corneal irregularities / increase of corneal curvature 2.2 decrease high order aberrations 3. Use of MMC, which reduces haze formation No patient developed significant haze Avoid PRK on widened RK incisions Suture before! Thank you RC. Ghanem, Poster WCC 2010
