Clinical Trial Summary
The aim of the study is to present the effect of implanting intrastromal fresh corneal
lenticule by SMILE surgery as a new method-approach to correct the corneal shape on purpose
to reduce irregular astigmatism and increasing visual acuity after penetrating keratoplasty.
Description:
Irregular astigmatism occurs when the curvature of the eye is pronounced in any direction,
not just the center. The curve could be steeper towards the bottom than on top, or it could
be any configuration in which the eye's surface area is uneven.
Irregular astigmatism usually can result from corneal degenerations(keratoconus,pellucid
marginal degeneration,keratoglobus), corneal surgery or trauma.
Irregular astigmatism is still the main cause of decreased visual acuity after penetrating
keratoplasty.
Our study present new therapeutic method and new technology to manage irregular astigmatism
after PK. Knowing that the incidence of high and irregular astigmatism after PK is still a
frequent complication and source of frustration for patients and corneal surgeons our study
present an adequate surgical technique implanting intrastromal human corneal lenticule using
SMILE for treatment of corneal irregular astigmatism after PK trying satisfy patients visual
expectations.
