Doga A.V., Ismailova S.B., Branchevskaya E.S. FIRST EXPERIENCE WITH "MICROSCAN VISUM" EXCIMER LASER FOR REFRACTIVE CORRECTION AFTER COLLAGEN CROSS-LINKING IN KERATOCONUS PATIENTSThe aim of this study was to assess the effectiveness of topography-guided PRK with "Microscan Visum" excimer laser after collagen cross-linking in keratoconus patients. 22 patients had topography-guided PRK performed 10-12 months after collagen cross-linking. Improvement of uncorrected and best corrected visual acuity was observed and all patients were satisfied with achieved results.Key words: "Microscan Visum" excimer laser, topography-guided PRK, keratoconus.
