Purpose
We aim to show that many corneal diseases are treated when the corneal shape (Q value) is changed when the fresh myopic intrastromal keratoplasty (Sutureless keratoplasty) according to the topography
Setting
Eye Hospital,Pristina,Kosovo
Methods
There are three groups in this study. Sutureless keratoplasty was performed in each group according to the corneal topography using the Smile module. first group, 60 eyes with advanced keratoconus with an indication for corneal transplantation were included in this study. Second group, high hyperopia and astigmatism, forty eyes of 30 patients between the ages 20 to 50. The third group, hyperopia, and presbyopia, had 50 eyes of 25 patients aged 40-50 years. All patients were followed for three years.
Results
In the first group, the preoperatively Q value increased from -0,80 ± 0.07 to -0,48 ± 0.03 (P < .001) 3 years postoperatively. In the second group, the Q value decreased from − 0.50 ± 0.04 preoperatively to − 0.78 ± 0.05 (P < .001),3 years postoperatively. In the third group, Q value decreased from Q Value, -0.31 ± 0.07 preoperatively to,-0.94 ±0.04 (P < .001) 3 years postoperatively.
