ABSTRACT

Objective: to determine the anterior and posterior corneal surface elevation in the corneal crosslinking surgical treatment applied to patients with keratoconus at the corneal service of "Ramón Pando Ferrer" Cuban Institute of Ophthalmology.
Methods: a retrospective and descriptive study of 30 eyes from 30 patients with progressive keratoconus who underwent the corneal collagen crosslinking. Data were collected preoperatively at 6, 12 and 24 months. The studied variables were best fit anterior sphere, anterior elevation, best posterior fit sphere and posterior corneal elevation.
Results: the preoperative best fit anterior sphere was 7,34 mm and there was no difference in the postoperative period. The anterior corneal surface elevation showed statistically significant reduction from 20,73 µm in the preoperative period to 14,90 µm in the first year and 15,93 µm in the second year after surgery. There was no changes either in the posterior best fit sphere of 5,94 mm or in the posterior elevation of 31,80 µm.
Conclusions: after the corneal crosslinking, there is a reduction of the anterior elevation and the posterior elevation remains the same.
