Abstract
This prospective interventional case series study was applied on twenty eyes of nineteen patients with bullous keratopathy.
The aim of this study is to evaluate the central corneal thickness change after femlosecond assisted DSАВК on bullous keratopathy and Fuch's dystrophy.
All patients underwent the surgery under local anesthesia and were performed by highly experienced cornea surgeons. Best corrected visual acuity were recorded 1,2,3 weeks and 1,2,3 months postoperatively.
Results of this study showed a significant improvement in the corneal thickness measured by anterior segment ОСТ, with maximum decrease in the thickness in the first one month, and to a lesser extend two and three months after the procedure.
