Key Points

The aim is to evaluate the effectiveness of Femto-CAIRS in improving visual acuity for keratoconus patients.
Utilized Femto-CAIRS guided by the Brisbane nomogram as a tailored treatment approach.
Assessed visual acuity and regularisation of the central cornea post-treatment.
Improvement in visual acuity was noted following the treatment.
Central cornea regularisation was achieved with Femto-CAIRS.

Abstract

Femto-CAIRS guided by the Brisbane nomogram provides a tailored treatment approach that improved visual acuity and regularisation of the central cornea. Further studies are required to validate our nomogram and clarify the effect of cross-linking on CAIRS.
