Keratoconus and corneal disease
After propensity matching 27 eyes per group, no clinically meaningful 12-month difference in haze, vision, tomography or aberrations was detected between strategies.
doi: 10.3928/1081597X-20260915-02After matching by anterior chamber depth, no significant angle or volume difference was found between hyperopic and myopic eyes, but this does not remove caution in phakic-IOL selection.
doi: 10.1097/j.jcrs.0000000000002097Direct evidence was limited: no significant differences were detected in vision, predictability or safety, while faster healing with StreamLight rested on indirect comparison.
doi: 10.1097/j.jcrs.0000000000002093In a randomized 30-patient study, ray-tracing-guided LASIK did not increase total higher-order aberrations at three months, unlike wavefront-optimized treatment.
doi: 10.1097/j.jcrs.0000000000002095In a 37,982-eye registry, incomplete epithelialization occurred in 4.8%, falling from 17.2% on day 5 to 3.3% on day 9.
doi: 10.1097/j.jcrs.0000000000002098At six months, average visual outcomes did not differ between selected keratoconus eyes and controls. The sample was small, however, and repeat surgery occurred in both groups.
doi: 10.1007/s10792-026-04147-yIn 30 eyes with high myopia, keratoconus or previous keratoplasty, endothelial cell loss reached 11.41% over five years.
doi: 10.32725/jab.2026.004Nine studies covering 1,187 eyes found similar visual and major safety outcomes, while toric ICL showed better rotational stability.
doi: 10.1097/j.jcrs.0000000000002008In a retrospective series of 714 eyes, 98% were within ±0.50 D of target; cataract occurred in 0.42% and rotation over 5° in 2.52% of eyes.
doi: 10.4103/IJO.IJO_90_26In a retrospective series of 158 eyes, retreatment improved vision and refraction, but LASIK, PRK and ICL groups differed greatly in size and were selected by clinical indication.
