Purpose To compare the effect of Sub-Bowman’s Keratomileusis (SBK) and Photorefractive Keratectomy (PRK) on postoperative endothelial cell density (ECD).

Background 193-nm excimer laser is totally absorbed at the site of exposure and penetrate less than a diameter of a cell. Theories for endothelial cell damage Mechanical trauma from shock waves, thermal effects, actinic effects, and metabolic changes Most human studies show that PRK and LASIK does not effect corneal endothelial cell densities SBK uses a femtosecond laser to create a thin (90-110µm) corneal flap Effects of SBK on the corneal endothelium has yet to be reported Collins M, Carr J.

Wavefront-guided excimer laser ablation using photorefractive keratectimy and sub-bowman’s keratomileusis: a contralateral eye study. J Refract Surg. 2008;24:S77-S84.

Methods Fifty eyes of twenty-five patients were compared in a prospective, randomized contralateral, single center study to compare the effects of SBK and PRK on ECD at one and three months postoperatively SBK IntraLase (AMO, Santa Ana CA): 8.5mm diameter, raster pattern, superior hinge Flap thickness = 100µm PRK 8.5mm Trephine 20% Ethanol for 25 sec Chilled with balanced salt solution All eyes treated with Custom LADARVision 4000 (Alcon Labs, Ft. Worth TX) excimer laser PRK eyes were not treated with an antimetabolite such as mytomycin-C Endothelial cell densities was measured using Nidek Confocal 4 at preop, one, and three months

Results SBK: The average was 2995±325 which decreased to 2977±358 at one month (p=0.5756) and to 2931±369 at three months (p=0.4106) PRK: The average ECD was 3011±329 which decreased to 2951±327 at one month (p=0.5736), and to 2982±365 at three months (p=0.6513)

Discussion Both PRK and LASIK have been shown to be predictable and effective for the correction of refractive errors This is the first contralateral study evaluating and comparing the effect PRK and SBK have on the corneal ECD. SBK was designed to be a hybrid procedure between PRK and LASIK by lessening the biomechanical impact of LASIK while preserving the quick visual recovery Experimental studies have shown endothelial cell damage with ablation depth within 40µm of Descemet’s membrane or ablation of 90% of the stroma The vast majority of studies agree that routine LASIK/PRK ablation depth do not cause endothelial cell damage With thinner flaps, ablation depth is reduced offering more endothelial protection when compared to standard LASIK. Our results suggest that SBK does not damage the corneal endothelium and has post operative ECD nearly identical to PRK Durrie D, Slade S.

Study Limitations Relatively short follow up period Lack of endothelial cell morphology analysis (coefficient of variation and percentage of hexagonal cells)

Conclusions There is no statistically significant change in the ECD following SBK or PRK at 3 months Additionally, no statistically significant difference was found between the effect of SBK and PRK in the postoperative ECD Future studies with longer follow up and more detailed endothelial analysis are needed to confirm these early conclusions.
