  1. Comparison of single-segment and double-segment Intacs® insertion with femtosecond laser for keratoconus Tiep KHUC, Marc DOAT, Jean-Louis BOURGES, Nicolas ALFONSI, Jean-Marc LEGEAIS, Gilles RENARD Hôtel-Dieu Hospital, Paris, France Authors have no financial interest

  2. Purpose To evaluate the efficacy of single-segment Intacs® using the femtosecond laser (IntraLase®, AMO) for insertion and compare with double-segment Intacs® in subjects with keratoconus

  3. Methods (1/2) • Setting: Hôtel-Dieu, Paris, France • Prospective study • 66 eyes of 59 patients classified into two groups - single-segment group: 38 eyes, 35 patients - double-segment group: 28 eyes, 26 patients • Both groups matched by t test

  4. Methods (2/2) • Implantation procedure Femtosecond IntraLase® FS 2 laser (60 kHz) (IntraLase Corp.) • Parameters - dissection’s depth in the cornea was 80% of the central pachymetry (300 – 400 µ) - channel dissection size: 6.6 x 7.6 mm • Main outcome measure: improvement of visual acuity, refractive error, K values • Follow-up: 6 months • Single or double-segment Intacs® implanted according to keratoconus asymetry and spherical equivalent (SE)

  5. Global results p < 0.05 for each variable.

  6. Single-segment results p < 0.05 for each variable. Improvement of UCVA for 34 eyes (89%).

  7. Double-segment results p < 0.05 for each variable, except cylinder (p=0.18). Improvement of UCVA for 21 eyes (75%).

  8. Comparison double vs single-segment Only 1 eye experienced loss of BSCVA in the single-segment group, versus 5 eyes in the double-segment group.

  9. Complications • No peroperative complication • 8 Intacs® (7.6%) were removed from 5 eyes because of partial extrusion

  10. Discussion (1/2) • Safe and efficient; improvement of UCVA+++ • Trend towards improved outcomes with single-segment Intacs® (more important reshaping of the cornea) • Results consistent with existent data (Sharma, 2005) • Cases of loss of vision may be attributed to an induced irregular astigmatism

  11. Discussion (2/2) Double-segment (preop/postop/differential) Superior and inferior flattening Superior steepening Single-segment (preop/postop/differential) Inferior flattening

  12. Conclusion • Intacs® implantation using IntraLase® FS 2 was safe and effective for treating keratoconus • Better results were achieved with single-segment Intacs® • Colin J, Cochener B, Savary G, Malet F, Holmes-Higgin D.
