In this video, a patient with severe keratoconus and uncorrected visual acuity of counting fingers (CF) sought to improve their vision. After a thorough evaluation, corneal tissue addition keratoplasty (CTAK) was recommended as a potential treatment option. Erin Ong, MD, performed the surgery and the patient’s visual acuity improved significantly from CF to 20/70. The video provides a detailed look at the steps taken to achieve the patient’s desired vision, showcasing the incredible potential of CTAK in treating severe keratoconus.

Congratulations for the surgery! I have three questions: 1. Which parameters and how did you choose them when you made the planning in the Laser for the corneal tunnel - how long, how wide, how deep and where positioned in the cornea was it done? Was it a nomogram or something to decide for the tunnel parameters? 2. Is there a special soft offered by the Ziemer company, for this surgery (for the laser tunnel)? 3. How did you prepare the donor stroma? Again, was it a nomogram to decide for its sizes? And with which instruments did you prepare it? Thank you!
