Validity of corneal topography in refractive surgery with excimer laserAbstract
PURPOSE: To evaluate the refractive results and safety of PRK (photorefractive keratectomy) based on the preoperative corneal topography. METHODS: 44 operated eyes, using the photorefractive keratectomy process, and which presented preoperative topographical abnormalities. The control group consisted of 44 eyes with preoperative normal corneal topography. Eighty-eight eyes were submitted to the photorefractive keratectomy process using the Summit Apex plus Excimer Laser. Corneal topographies were accessed by the EyeSys Analysis system; the topographic abnormalities which were considered are the following: apex displacement above 1.5D (AD), asphericity above 0.25D/mm (AS), obliquity above 15 degrees (OB), inferior-superior asymmetry equal to or more than 1.5D (IS), curvature above 47D (CU) and two combined features (CB). Main measured outcome: loss of one or more lines were safety defined for the prognosis. RESULTS: All patients were followed up during 6 months. A significant loss of BCVA occurred in PRK-AD (p<0.001) and PRK-CO (p<0.05). CONCLUSION: These data suggest that patients, who wish to be submitted to the refractive surgery must undergo preoperative corneal topography analysis and if any topographic abnormality is found in these patients, this can indicate the loss of lines of corrected vision after surgery. OBJETIVO: Avaliar os resultados refracionais e a segurança do procedimento cirúrgico PRK (ceratectomia fotorrefrativa) com base na topografia de córnea no pré-operatório. MÉTODOS: Participantes - 44 sujeitos que tinham realizado cirurgia refrativa, com o procedimento ceratectomia fotorrefrativa, os quais apresentaram topografias irregulares pré-operatórias. O grupo controle consistiu de 44 sujeitos com topografia regular pré-operatória. Os 88 olhos foram submetidos a ceratectomia fotorrefrativa utilizando-se o Summit Apex plus Excimer Laser. As topografias irregulares e regulares foram obtidas pelo Corneal Analysis System(EyeSys), sendo consideradas como topografias irregulares os seguintes achados: ápice deslocado acima de 1,5 D (AD), asfericidade maior que 0,25 D/mm (AS), obliquidade maior que 15 graus (OB), assimetria inferior-superior igual ou maior que 1,5 D (IS), curvatura maior que 47 D (CU) e combinação de 2 critérios (CB). Principal efeito medido: perda de uma ou mais linhas que foram definidas com segurança para o prognóstico. RESULTADOS: Todos os pacientes foram acompanhados por 6 meses. Verificou-se perda significativa de acuidade visual corrigida em pacientes submetidos ao procedimento PRK-AD (p< 0,001), PRK-CO (p<0,05). CONCLUSÃO: Este estudo sugere que pacientes que desejam ser submetidos a cirurgia refrativa devem realizar a topografia de córnea pré-operatória e que, se encontradas irregularidades topográficas nestes pacientes, isto pode indicar a perda de linha de visão corrigida pós-operatória.
