All patients underwent HRWG photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) with simultaneous accelerated CXL. The study parameters were manifest refraction spherical equivalent (MRSE), keratometric outcomes, uncorrected (UDVA) and corrected distance visual acuity (CDVA) at postoperative 6 and 12 months.Results: There was improvement in mean MRSE from − 2.39± 1.89 D preoperatively to − 0.13 ± 0.68 D at 12 months, with corresponding improvement in UDVA from 0.77 ± 0.35 logMAR to 0.08 ± 0.12 logMAR and CDVA from 0.10 ± 0.11 logMAR to 0.02 ± 0.04 logMAR. Preoperative flat and steep keratometry (K) were 4wct 32.49 ± 1.67 D and 45.94 ± 2.10 D, respectively, and at postoperative 12 months were 41.36 ± 2.08 D and 42.65 ± 2.78 D, respectively. At postoperative 12 months, visual and refractive outcomes were maintained. Comparisons between preoperative and postoperative 12 month timepoints were statistically significant for all parameters.Conclusion: Simultaneous wavefront-guided PRK followed by CXL is a promising treatment for the visual rehabilitation of keratoconus patients.Keywords: keratoconus management, high-resolution wavefront-guided surface ablation with corneal crosslinking, wavefront-guided PRK with CXLTamayo GECastell CVargas PPolania ETamayo JDove Medical Pressarticlekeratoconus managementhigh resolution wavefront-guided surface ablation with corneal crosslinkingwavefront-guided prk with cxlvisual rehabilitation of keratoconusOphthalmologyRE1-994ENClinical Ophthalmology, Vol Volume 14, Pp 1297-1305 (2020)
