Objective To evaluate the safety and efficacy of topography-guided transepithelial photorefractive keratectomy (T-PRK) in the treatment of high and irregular astigmatism after penetrating keratoplasty (PKP). Methods In this non-randomized retrospective study, 18 patients (20 eyes) with high or irregular astigmatism after PKP were treated with topography-guided T-PRK. Uncorrected distance visual acuity (UDVA), corrected distance visual acuity (CDVA), refraction, corneal topography, and subjective evaluation of visual symptoms were recorded and analyzed both preoperatively and at the last follow-up visit during this study. A Wilcoxon signed-rank test was used for the statistical analysis of UDVA, CDVA, refraction and corneal topography. Results At a mean follow-up time of 12.15±2.06 months postoperatively, mean UDVA and CDVA improved from 1.36±0.42 to 0.65±0.40 (Z=-3.727, P<0.01), and from 0.34±0.22 to 0.17±0.14 (Z=-3.607,P<0.01), respectively, with 10 eyes gaining two or more lines of CDVA. Moreover, mean sphere decreased from 1.48±3.14 D to -0.19±2.11 D (Z=-2.373, P<0.05); mean cylinder was reduced from -7.81±3.43 D to -3.06±1.99 D (Z=-3.792, P<0.01); the mean postoperative spherical equivalent (SE) refraction adjusted by intended SE was -1.72±2.55 D. Of all eyes, 3 eyes were within ±0.50 D of the intended refraction, 9 eyes were within ±1.00 D of the intended refraction. The mean corneal irregularity index (IRI) and orthogonal curvature asymmetry decreased from 66.33±22.03 μm to 59.11±14.66 μm (Z=-0.831, P>0.05), and from 8.96±4.36 D to 7.44±3.56 D (Z=-2.576, P<0.05) respectively. All patients reported visual symptoms had improved or remained unchanged. Conclusion Topography-guided T-PRK appears to be a safe and effective treatment for post-PKP high and irregular astigmatism.
