| Abstrakt: | Purpose: To report the front corneal versus central and paracentral corneal changes after Bowman layer transplantation for keratoconus in a tertiary hospital in the United Kingdom. Methods: Five eyes of 5 patients receiving Bowman layer transplant for advanced keratoconus in Royal Gwent Hospital (Newport, United Kingdom) were included. Preoperative and postoperative visual acuity; Kmax; Kmean, and corneal cylinder in the front cornea, 4.5 mm central, and 6 mm central; and corneal thickness were analyzed. Results: Corneal flattening and reduction in corneal astigmatism was observed, more marked in the central and paracentral zone, allowing for improvement in best-corrected visual acuity with the aid of visual correction in 4 eyes. Conclusions: These results support previous data reporting Bowman layer transplantation as a useful strategy in the treatment of advanced keratoconus and suggest greater attention may be focused on central or paracentral corneal changes. Competing Interests: A. K. Tourkmani was the primary consultant caring for the patient. A. K.Tourkmani was the consultant surgeon who completed all surgeries reported and completed the draft manuscript. The remaining authors have no funding or conflicts of interest to disclose.
