the corneal intrastromal implantation system using a complete ring implanted in a stromal pocket can achieve significant improvements in the visual function of patients with keratoconus. Uncorrected distance visual acuity improved by more than seven lines on average and CDVA improved by two lines.
Purpose: To compare the results of MyoRing implantation for keratoconus using two different techniques for corneal pocket creation.
Materials and methods:Seven eyes suffering from keratoconus were treated using Ziemer LDV for corneal pocket creation and seven eyes suffering from keratoconus were treated using DIOPTEX PocketMaker for corneal pocket creation.Results: Both groups did not show any statistically significant difference, neither in the severity of the disease nor in the results.
Conclusion:Ziemer LDV and DIOPTEX PocketMaker give equal results for MyoRing implantation for keratoconus.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
