Clinical and demographic data were collected from the patients’ clinical records. Tomographic data was assessed with a Scheimpflug camera (Pentacam, OCULUS®). Ablation depth (μm) and residual stromal bed (μm) were calculated by the WaveLight® EX500 laser system software (Alcon, EUA). The corneal biomechanical assessment was made through ultra-high speed Scheimpflug imaging during noncontact tonometry (Corvis ST, OCULUS®). Several ectasia risk scores were analyzed.Results: Mean age was 31.0± 6 years old and mean manifest spherical equivalent was − 2.01 ± 2.3D. Belin–Ambrósio deviation index was the tomographic parameter with higher proportion of eyes within the ectasia high risk interval. In the biomechanical assessment, more than 95% of eyes met the criteria for ectasia susceptibility in four of the first generation and in two of the second generation parameters. In a cutoff based comparative analysis, eyes with Kmax ≥ 45.5 D, eyes with VCOMA < 0 and eyes with ARTmax ≤ 350 presented significantly softer corneal biomechanical behavior.Conclusion: The majority of eyes excluded from LVC in the present study met the criteria for ectasia susceptibility in several biomechanical parameters, validating the clinical and tomographic based screening prior to LVC in our center. Differences found in the biomechanical assessment regarding cutoffs used in clinical practice highlight its differential role in characterizing risk profile of these patients. Tomography should not be overlooked and the integration of all data, including treatment-related parameters, can be the future of risk ectasia screening prior LVC.Keywords: keratorefractive surgery, ectasia, ultra-high speed Scheimpflug camera, Corvis, tomography, corneal biomechanicsBaptista PMMarta AAMarques JHAbreu ACMonteiro SMenéres PPinto MDCDove Medical Pressarticlekeratorefractive surgeryectasiaultra-high speed scheimpflug cameracorvistomographycorneal biomechanicsOphthalmologyRE1-994ENClinical Ophthalmology, Vol Volume 15, Pp 745-758 (2021) |
