ABSTRACT

Purpose:

To study long-term results of MyoRing treatment of keratoconus.

Methods:

Retrospective study of MyoRing implantation into a corneal pocket for keratoconus.

Results:

Corneal thickness at the thinnest point remained unchanged, SIM K's, manifest sphere and cylinder were significantly improved at the first follow-up 9 months postoperatively and remained stable until the last follow-up about 5 years after surgery. Uncorrected and corrected distance visual acuity (UDVA, CDVA) were significantly improved at the first follow-up 9 months postoperatively and were further ameliorated until the last follow-up about 5 years after surgery.

Conclusion:

The treatment was safe and effective with continuing improvement of visual acuity during the 5 years after surgery (AU)
RESUMEN

Objetivo:

Estudiar los resultados a largo plazo del tratamiento del queratocono con MyoRing.

Método:

Estudio retrospectivo de la implantación del MyoRing en un bolsillo corneal en los casos de queratocono.

Resultados:

El espesor de la córnea en el punto más fino no reflejó cambios, mejorando los valores de SIM K, esfera y cilindro manifiesto durante el seguimiento a los 9 meses de la intervención y permaneciendo entonces estables hasta el último seguimiento a los 5 años de la misma. La agudeza visual no corregida y corregida (UDVA, CDVA) mejoró considerablemente a los 9 meses de la intervención, y continuaron mejorando significativamente hasta el último seguimiento a los 5 años de la misma.

Conclusión:

El tratamiento resultó seguro y efectivo, con mejora continua de la agudeza visual durante los 5 años posteriores a la cirugía (AU)
