Abstract：
:Twenty-nine suture removals from 20 eyes (21 patients) on which penetrating keratoplasty had been performed were analyzed in a nonrandomized consecutive study to evaluate the role of computer-assisted corneal topography in selective suture removal to reduce astigmatism. Topographic guidance for suture removal resulted in a net decrease in refractive and keratometric astigmatism in 21 of the 29 cases. The net reduction in astigmatism averaged 1.4, 0.9, and 1.0 diopters when measured by refraction, keratometry, and topography, respectively. The preliminary choice of sutures to be removed on the basis of refraction, keratometry, and inspection was changed in 20 of the 29 cases when information added by the topographic map was considered. Although many variables of suture removal remain unpredictable, computer-assisted corneal topography is a powerful means of describing corneal power after penetrating keratoplasty and is useful as a guide in selective suture removal for reduction of astigmatism.
