Abstract
To report the 6-month results concerning efficacy, safety, predictability, and stability of conductive keratoplasty for the correction of residual hyperopia after corneal refractive surgery. A total of 35 eyes (26 patients) with residual hyperopia after corneal refractive surgery ranging between +1.00 to +4.75 diopters (D) of spherical equivalent refraction were enrolled in the study and underwent conductive keratoplasty following a modified nomogram. Variables and data were available for all eyes at 6 months postoperatively. A total of 24 (69%) eyes had uncorrected visual acuity (UCVA) of > or = 20/40, and 10 (29%) eyes had UCVA of 20/20. Manifest refractive spherical equivalent was within +/- 0.50 D in 17 (49%) eyes and within +/- 1.00 D in 25 (71%) eyes in cases of previous hyperopic LASIK; the optical zone was significantly increased. Using a modified nomogram, conductive keratoplasty for correction of residual hyperopia was effective, but predictability was not satisfactory and safety needs to be established.
