| 1 | Femtosecond laser-assisted astigmatic keratotomy: a review显示文摘Background:Astigmatic keratotomy(AK)remains an accessible means to correct surgically induced or naturally occurring astigmatism.The advantages of femtosecond laser-assisted astigmatic keratotomy(FSAK)over conventional methods have been recognized recently.Main text:This review evaluates the efficacy,complications,and different methods of FSAK for correction of astigmatism in native eyes and those that underwent previous penetrating keratoplasty(PKP).The penetrating and intrastromal FSAK(IFSAK)techniques can reduce post-keratoplasty astigmatism by 35.4%to 84.77%and 23.53%to 89.42%,respectively.In native eyes,the penetrating and IFSAK techniques reduce astigmatism by 26.8%to 58.62%and 36.3%to 58%respectively,implying that the magnitude of the astigmatic reduction is comparable between the two FSAK procedures.Nonetheless,IFSAK offers the additional advantages of almost no risk of infection,wound gape,and epithelial ingrowth.The use of nomograms,anterior-segment optical coherence tomography,and consideration of posterior cornea and corneal biomechanics are helpful to enhance the efficacy and safety of FSAK.The complications of FSAK in eyes that underwent PKP include overcorrection,visual loss,microperforations,infectious keratitis,allograft rejection,and endophthalmitis.The reported difficulties in native eyes include overcorrection,anterior gas breakthrough,and suction loss.Conclusions:In eyes that underwent PKP,FSAK effectively reduces high regular or irregular astigmatism,with rare and manageable complications.Nevertheless,the drawbacks of the procedure include the potential loss of visual acuity and low predictability.For native eyes undergoing femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery,IFSAK is a good choice to correct low astigmatism(<1.5 diopters).The refractive effect of astigmatism from the posterior cornea needs to be considered in the nomograms for native eyes undergoing refractive cataract surgery.To further improve the efficacy of FSAK,more large-scale randomized studies with longer follow-up are needed. | John S.M.Chang | 2018 | Eye and Vision2018，5，1： | 3 |
