One year later, the ring was removed due to severe glare complaints. After 6 months, wavefront-guided photorefractive keratectomy and CXL were applied simultaneously to correct high order aberration and refractive error.Results: Six months after the wavefront-guided photorefractive keratectomy and CXL, the uncorrected distance visual acuity was 20/25, and there was a 30% decrease in coma aberrations. The glare complaint regressed.Conclusion: Wavefront-guided surface ablation and CXL may reduce high order aberrations and glare complaints after intrastromal corneal ring implantation.Keywords: keratoconus, Ferrara ring, corneal collagen cross-linking, corneal wavefront, photorefractive keratectomyYildirim AUslu HKara NOzgurhan EBDove Medical PressarticleOphthalmologyRE1-994ENClinical Ophthalmology, Vol 2013, Iss default, Pp 1251-1255 (2013)
