Keratoconus
Conditions
Brief summary
This work aimed at the assessment of corneal endothelial cell loss after toric ICL implantation for correction of myopia and astigmatism after penetrating keratoplasty.
Detailed description
Penetrating keratoplasty (PKP) is considered a safe and effective procedure.This work aimed at the assessment of corneal endothelial cell loss after toric ICL implantation for correction of myopia and astigmatism after penetrating keratoplasty.
Interventions
PROCEDUREPKP
1. The horizontal axis was marked with a pointed marker at the slit lamp immediately before surgery. 2. TICL loading into the STAAR injector cartridge 3. Temporal clear corneal 3 mm incision & 2-side ports then viscoelastic injection into the AC 4. Implantation of the TICL using the injector, then rotation according to the implantation diagram guided with Mendez protractor, and lastly placement of the haptics under the iris. 5. Pupil constriction with A.Ch. 6. Washing the viscoelastic &Wound hydration. 7. Topical antibiotic steroids (Vigamox and Tobradex) 4 times /day for 3weeks
