Estudo das modificações oculares induzidas pelo implante estromal do anel de Ferrara em portadores de ceratocone

Abstract: Objetivo: Comparar a acuidade visual com e sem correção, ceratometria média e equivalente esférico antes e após o implante do anel intraestromal de Ferrara em pacientes portadores de ceratocone intolerantes a lentes de contato. Métodos: Foram analisados os primeiros 400 olhos com ceratocone tratados com o implante do anel de Ferrara, levando-se em consideração as alterações obtidas na curvatura corneana, acuidade visual e refração, bem como a estabilidade dos resultados no primeiro ano. Resultados: Nos 400 olh… Show more

“…In the present study, a significant reduction in the topographic data as maximum K and minimum K was also noted. Previous studies showed a corneal flattening of approximately 4 diopters, very close to the one found in this study, which was 4.6 diopters (2,6,8,16) . In genePreoperative Postoperative ral, it occurs due to an important corneal flattening in the first days after the implant and the measures become stable approximately 3 months postoperatively (1) (Figure 2).…”

“…For the correction of astigmatism the end point of each segment may produce additional tening (20) . With the corneal flattening after the surgical procedure, patients can experience an important reduction of the corneal irregularity and astigmatism, making possible the use of soft contact lenses with a good visual acui ty and satisfactory fitting (6) . In this study, the astigmatism vector analysis showed a mean improvement of 3.92 ± 2.52 diopters.…”
