Each patient underwent a single-step topography-guided trans-epithelial ablation (CIPTA® 2 software, iVis Technologies). Corneal topography data as well as uncorrected (UDVA) and corrected distance visual acuity (CDVA) and spherical equivalent (SEQ) were collected preoperatively (T0) and at 1 (T1), 3 (T2) and 12 (T3) months after surgery.Results: Mean UDVA and CDVA significantly improved, respectively, from 1.22± 0.17 and 0.18± 0.03LogMAR at T0 to 0.63± 0.17 (CI 95%, P< 0.001) and 0.04± 0.03LogMAR at T3 (CI 95%, P< 0.001). Mean SEQ significantly decreased from − 3.75± 1.32 to – 1.60± 1.32D (CI 95%, P< 0.02). Mean subjective refractive astigmatism (SRAST) and mean keratometry astigmatism (SimK) significantly decreased, respectively, from 7.83± 0.98 and 8.10± 1.48D to 2.83± 0.98 and 5.29± 1.48D (CI 95%, P< 0.001). Corneal Morphological Irregularity index (CMI) significantly decreased from 62.76± 7.26 μm to 23.24± 7.26 μm (CI 95%, P< 0.001). Apart from a single episode of graft rejection 5 days after ablation, successfully reverted with topical steroids, no other complications were noted. A mild corneal haze was observed in two eyes (16.7%) at 3 months post-PRK, and no regression was observed at 12 months.Conclusion: Our study demonstrates the safety and long-term effectiveness of a trans-epithelial topography-guided ablation in the treatment of post-PK highly irregular astigmatism.Keywords: PRK, corneal aberrations, keratoconus, refraction, corneal transplantSpadea LVisioli GMastromarino DAlexander SPistella SDove Medical Pressarticleprkcorneal aberrationskeratoconusrefractioncorneal transplantTherapeutics.
