Refractive, keratometric, and visual outcomes were evaluated preoperatively and at 1, 3, 6, 12, and 24 months postoperatively.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n RESULTS:<\/jats:title>\n \n Twenty-two eyes underwent photorefractive keratectomy and 7 eyes underwent LASIK. Mean follow-up was 27.38\u00b12.37 months (range: 25 to 32 months). Mean preoperative inferior to superior keratometric difference was 1.61\u00b10.36 D (range: 1.20 to 2.63 D). Mean preoperative spherical equivalent refraction was \u22124.45\u00b11.66 D (range: \u22122.25 to \u22128.00 D), which decreased to \u22120.09\u00b10.61 D (range: +0.75 to \u22121.38 D) (\n P<\/jats:italic>\n <.05) at last follow-up. Mean preoperative topographic corneal astigmatism was 1.44\u00b10.79 D (range: 0.52 to 3.83 D), which decreased to 0.66\u00b10.39 D (\n P<\/jats:italic>\n <.05) 3 months postoperatively and remained stable during follow-up (\n P<\/jats:italic>\n <.54). Mean preoperative uncorrected distance visual acuity and corrected distance visual acuity in logMAR units were 1.57\u00b10.62 and 0.02\u00b10.06, respectively, which improved at last follow-up to 0.00\u00b10.05 and \u22120.02\u00b10.04, respectively. No intra- or postoperative complications were noted; specifically, no patients developed postoperative ectasia.\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n CONCLUSIONS:<\/jats:title>\n Corneal refractive surgery in patients with isolated topographic superior corneal steepening provided acceptable refractive and visual outcomes without any intra- or postoperative complications. Diligence is required to screen for the potential of ectatic corneal disorders in this population. Photorefractive keratectomy may be a safer option for these patients than LASIK.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.3928\/1081597x-20120522-01","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2012,6,20]],"date-time":"2012-06-20T19:55:10Z","timestamp":1340222110000},"page":"462-467","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Outcomes of Refractive Surgery in Patients With Topographic Superior Corneal Steepening"],"prefix":"10.3928","volume":"28","author":[{"given":"George D.","family":"Kymionis","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Vardhaman P.","family":"Kankariya","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Michael A.","family":"Grentzelos","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Vasilios F.","family":"Diakonis","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"George A.","family":"Kounis","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Evangelos","family":"Minos","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jorge L.","family":"Ali\u00f3","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ioannis G.","family":"Pallikaris","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"2308","reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_2_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jcrs.2010.11.013"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_3_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1442-9071.2010.02227.x"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_4_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0161-6420(99)00131-1"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_5_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0161-6420(94)31372-8"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_6_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0161-6420(02)01727-X"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_7_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3928\/1081-597X-19891101-10"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_8_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/bjo.87.6.682"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_9_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jcrs.2009.05.006"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_10_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0161-6420(02)01218-6"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_11_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0002-9394(00)00497-9"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_12_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1038\/sj.eye.6702507"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_13_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0002-9394(14)74624-0"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_14_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00003226-199707000-00018"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_15_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1038\/sj.eye.6700643"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_16_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00003226-199905000-00004"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_17_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3928\/1081597X-20090201-11"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_18_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/01.ico.0000121705.40011.74"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_19_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0161-6420(93)31704-5"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_20_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/bjo.80.1.25"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_21_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.clae.2010.11.007"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_22_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0039-6257(97)00119-7"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_23_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0161-6420(90)32516-2"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_24_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00003226-199101000-00002"},{"issue":"13","key":"e_1_3_2_25_2","first-page":"4192","article-title":"Keratoconus and contact lens-induced corneal warpage analysis using the keratomorphic diagram","volume":"35","author":"Smolek MK","year":"1994","unstructured":"Smolek MK, Klyce SD, Maeda N.
