Pre-cut post-LASIK/PRK donor corneas for use in endothelial keratoplasty: Potential impact of post-cut morphology on visual outcomes
American Journal of Ophthalmology Jul 29, 2018
Jeng BH, et al. - Authors assessed the accuracy, complication rates, cut quality, and degree of induced hyperopic shift of eye bank-prepared post-LASIK/PRK donor corneas vs that of non-post-LASIK/PRK donor corneas in endothelial keratoplasty. An awareness regarding the increased risk of tissue wastage when cutting post-LASIK/PRK corneas should be created among the eye bank technicians and surgeons vs non-post-LASIK/PRK donors. Also, findings suggested awareness among the surgeons regarding the theoretical increase in hyperopic shift when using post-LASIK/PRK donor corneas vs non-post-LASIK/PRK donors, when cut to less than 150 microns.
