Early keratometric and refractive results after intra-corneal rings surgery in keratoconus patients.

Objective: To evaluate early keratometric and refractive results after intra-corneal rings surgery in keratoconus patients.

Method: 50 eyes of 25 patients with keratoconus within stage 2 and 3, underwent intra-stromal corneal rings surgery by using the femtosecond surgical laser, one month after surgery, corneal keratometries and patient refraction were compared vs pre-operative ones.

Results: Mean pre-operative low keratometry was 48.

In vivo confocal microscopy findings after SMILE refractive surgery technique.

Objective: To evaluate confocal microscopy finding after SMILE surgery by in vivo confocal microscopy and stromal lenticule and stromal interface accuracy planed vs measured.

Method: Thirty eyes of 15 patients were evaluated before and 1 month after SMILE surgery by using confocal microscopy. Cellular morphology was studied.
