All progressive keratoconus patients who underwent CXL between January 2017 and December 2018 were included consecutively. The epi-off crosslinking technique (Dresden protocol) was applied in all patients. The topographic values were measured preoperatively and 12 months postoperatively. Patients with a history of a previous corneal procedure, corneal trauma, or any corneal scarring were excluded.Results: Among our population (29 eyes of 24 patients), 58.6% of eyes were for male patients, and the mean age of the population was 27.76 ± 4.21 years. Based on the topography results, the mean values of corneal thickness at central 3 mm decreased from 473.45 ± 38 μm to 465.72 ± 41.78 μm following CXL (Z = − 1.93, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 0.048– 0.057, p= 0.053). Clinically significant astigmatism measurements were present in 28 (96.6%) eyes before CXL compared to 26 (89.7%) eyes after CXL. The mean values of astigmatism among the patients were 3.37 ± 2.25 diopters before and 3.67 ± 2.61 diopters after CXL (Z = − 1696, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 0.085– 0.096, p = 0.09). After CXL, the mean values of the front elevation at the apex changed from 33.90 ± 20.13 μm to 36.10 ± 21.09 μm (Z = − 2.792, 95% [CI] = 0.003– 0.006, p = 0.005). The mean values of the back elevation at the apex changed from 68.4 ± 35.66 μm to 69.90 ± 35.89 μm (Z = − 0.934, 95% CI = 0.343– 0.366, p = 0.35).Conclusion: The topographic corneal parameters improved significantly in the patients with corneal ectasia after CXL. These results revealed the safety and efficacy of CXL in stabilizing keratoconus progression among Saudi patients at 1 year of follow-up.Keywords: corneal collagen cross-linking, keratoconus, topography, corneal ectasiaAlQahtani BSAlshahrani SKhayyat WWAbdalla-Elsayed MEAAltalhi AASaifaldein AATaha MADove Medical Pressarticlecorneal collagen cross linkingkeratoconustopographycorneal ectasiaOphthalmologyRE1-994ENClinical Ophthalmology, Vol Volume 15, Pp 49-55 (2021) |
