ABSTRACT
ABSTRACT

Purpose:

To analyze the short-term clinical and topographic outcomes in patients with keratoconus after corneal collagen cross-linking treatment (CXL) with dextran-free isotonic riboflavin solution.

Methods:

In this retrospective case series, 26 eyes from 26 patients with keratoconus were studied. The best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) and refractive and topographic findings were analyzed at a 6-month follow-up.

Results:

The mean BCVA (Snellen lines) values before and 1, 3, and 6 months after CXL were 0.51 ± 0.2, 0.48 ± 0.2, 0.57 ± 0.2, and 0.64 ± 0.2, respectively, and the difference between the preoperative and 6-month values was statistically significant (p=0.006). The mean spherical equivalent refraction decreased from -5.6 ± 2.4 diopters (D) preoperatively to -5.0 ± 2.1 D, and mean simulated keratometry decreased from 48.5 ± 2.5 D to 47.8 ± 2.6 D at 6 months. (p=0.145 and p=0.001, respectively). In addition, the maximum keratometry decreased progressively and significantly from the preoperative value during follow-up (p=0.003). The central and minimal corneal thicknesses, including those of the epithelium, also decreased from 442.8 ± 25.6 µm and 430.5 ± 23.9 µm preoperatively to 420.7 ± 31.8 µm and 409.3 ± 28.7 µm at the most recent follow-up (p<0.001), respectively. No intraoperative or postoperative complications were observed.

Conclusions:

CXL with dextran-free isotonic riboflavin solution appears to be a safe treatment alternative for keratoconus and yields sustained short-term improvements in visual acuity, keratometric readings, and corneal thickness. However, long-term results are needed to confirm these outcomes.
RESUMO
RESUMO

Objetivo:

Analisar os resultados clínicos e topográficos curto prazo após crosslinking (CXL) de córnea com solução isotônica de riboflavina sem dextrano, em pacientes com ceratocone.

Método:

Estudamos 26 olhos de 26 pacientes com ceratocone, nesta série retrospectiva de casos. Melhor acuidade visual corrigida (BCVA), refração e achados topográficos foram analisados aos 6 meses de acompanhamento.

Resultados:

BCVA pré-operatória (linhas de Snellen) foi de 0,51 ± 0,2. BCVA após CXL foram de 0,48 ± 0,2, 0,57 ± 0,2 e 0,64 ± 0,2 no 1º, 3º e 6º meses, respectivamente. A diferença entre a BCVA pré-operatória e mais recente foi estatisticamente significativa (p=0,006). O equivalente esférico médio diminuiu de -5,6 ± 2,4 dioptrias (D) no pré-operatório para -5.0 ± 2.1 D e a média da ceratometria simulada diminuiu de 48,5 ± 2,5 D para 47, 8± 2,6 D aos 6 meses. (p=0,145 e p=0,001, respectivamente). A ceratometria máxima diminuiu progressivamente durante o acompanhamento com as mudanças sendo significativamente diferentes do valor pré-operatório (p=0,003). As espessuras corneanas central e mínima, diminuiram de 442,8 ± 25,6 µm e 430,5 ± 23,9 µm para 420,7 ± 31,8 µm e 409,3 ± 28,7 µm, respectivamente, na visita mais recente (p<0,001). Não foram observadas complicações intraoperatórias e pós-operatórias.

Conclusões:

CXL com solução de riboflavina isotônica sem dextrano parece ser uma opção segura de tratamento para o ceratocone com melhora mantida na acuidade visual, ceratometria e espessura corneana, no curto prazo. Resultados a longo prazo são necessários para confirmar estes resultados.
