  1. CASE REPORT: CXL FOLLOWED BY TOPOGRAPHY-GUIDED PRK IN A COMMERCIAL AIRLINE PILOT SIMAR J. SINGH1, WILLIAM B. TRATTLER1,2, GABRIELA PEREZ2, DAVID T.

  2. Purpose and Methods • Purpose: • To report the results of bilateral CXL followed by topography- guided PRK for a commercial airline pilot who required excellent uncorrected visual acuity to continue with his occupation. • Methods: • A 33-year-old African American male commercial airline pilot with advanced bilateral keratoconus & no previous ocular surgery was treated with epithelial-off CXL followed 4 months later by topography-guided PRK with the Allegretto laser platform. A comparison of UCVA, BCVA, pentacams, and placido-disk topographies were gathered pre & post CXL treatment and & post PRK.

  6. Conclusions • This case illustrates the potential for marked improvement in UCVA and BCVA in patients who have undergone CXL followed by topography-guided PRK. Patients with advanced keratoconus may experience greater improvement in visual acuity and experience a greater improvement in quality of vision with CXL followed by PRK when compared to CXL alone. • KEYWORDS: Keratoconus, Corneal Crosslinking, Photorefractive keratectomy (PRK).
