Purpose
To Verify whether minimal depth and volume surface ablations, with intentionally skipped undertreated/untreated a.reas within the Optical Zone (“clipped”topography guided ablations), actually decrease corneas HO-RMS as much as predicted by the Foresight Schwind’s Software.
Setting
Athens Eye Center, Athens Greece, Schwind Eye Tech Solutions, Kleinheim Germany
Methods
A proprietary software (Schwind’s Clipped Topography Software) was used to design minimal depth
ablations with intentionally undertreated/untreated areas within the OZ. Schwind’s Foresight software was used to predict
the change of the same cornea’s HO RMS
Results
TransPRK Clipped topography guided ablations was performed in 3 eyes of 3 patients with stage II
keratoconus. We present here the pre and post topographies and compare them with the prediction model.
Conclusions
Prediction of the outcome of intentionally undertreated complex surface ablations is now
possible with the Schwind’s Foresight. The Clipped topography software is a valuable tool that with the help of AI may
soon be able to create any complex ablation of given volume/ pattern towards "best possible", optimal visual
rehabilitation.
