Journal Title: PARIPEX-Indian Journal of Research - Year 2018, Vol 7, Issue 12
Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to study the outcome of corneal triple procedure with respect to anatomical , visual and refractive success in a tertiary eye care centre . One hundred and twenty eyes who underwent this procedure between January 2013 and December 2017 were reviewed retrospectively and analysed . Mean age of these patients was 42.45 years (SD+/-15.85) .Failed therapeutic grafts(Regrafts)-42.5% was the main indication for performing triple procedure in this study .At the last follow up, graft clarity was seen in 63.33 % eyes. 65 % eyes had improvement in terms of visual acuity .Visual acuity improved by 5 snellen lines or more in 55.83% eyes.38.33% eyes achieved an improvement of 2 to 3 snellen lines. Mean spherical equivalent and mean refractive cylinder at 1 year after the procedure was found to be -0.229D(SD+/-2.48)and -4.21D(SD +/-2.39). respectively.Combined approach seems to be an effective surgical procedure with reasonable outcome in form of visual rehabilitation and graft survival even in regrafts situation.
