AbstractObjectiveEvaluate the effects of corneoconjunctival transposition (CCT), posterior lamellar keratoplasty (PLK) and modified deep lamellar endothelial keratoplasty (DLEK) on streak retinoscopy in equine cadaver eyes.MethodsIntraocular pressure (IOP) was maintained at 25 ± 3 mmHg in 35 equine cadaver eyes. Streak retinoscopy was performed prior to (NO VISCO) and following (VISCO) intracameral injection of 1.0 ml of viscoelastic. Following optical coherence tomography (OCT), an axial CCT [n = 11] or PLK [n = 12], or peripheral DLEK [n = 12] was performed. Streak retinoscopy and OCT were repeated postoperatively.ResultsPostsurgical net meridional and spherical refraction for CCT [Horizontal (H): 3.4 (95% CI 2.4–4.4) diopters (D), p < .001, Vertical (V): 3.5 (95% CI 2.7–4.4) D, p < .001, Spherical: 3.5 (95% CI 2.6–4.3) D, p < .001] and PLK [H: 3.2 (95% CI 2.2–4.1) D, p < .001, V: 2.8 (95% CI 2.0–3.6) D, p < .001, Spherical: 3.0 (95% CI 2.2–3.8) D, p < .001] were significantly increased from presurgical (VISCO) values. No difference between presurgical (VISCO) and postsurgical values were identified for the DLEK. Postoperative OCT revealed space between anterior and posterior corneal grafts and corneal undulation associated with suture placement.ConclusionMeridional and spherical refraction had a hyperopic shift following CCT and PLK, with a significantly higher value in the vertical meridian for the CCT. Pre‐ and postoperative refraction was not significantly different for the DLEK. This supports that the DLEK has a lesser effect on immediate postoperative refraction compared with CCT or PLK.
