In the literature

Despite a slight trend in favor of protocol 1, no statistically significant differences were observed between protocols at any time point analyzed throughout EB development regarding the frequency of hemogenic endothelial (HE) precursors; CD43+ CD45−, CD45+, and CD45 + CD34 + hematopoietic derivatives; or the output of clonogenic progenitors.
Despite these differences not being significant, most studies show a slight trend toward better vision following penetrating keratoplasty compared to DALK.[ 8 , 19 ] The Anwar and Melles techniques of DALK have comparable visual acuity and refractive outcomes.[ 20 ] The BCVA values ​​obtained were considered good, as 12 eyes (75%) obtained a BCVA ≥ 0.5 logMAR (20/63), which is considered acceptable even after penetrating keratoplasty.[ 1 , 7 , 8 ] Our technique showed comparable CDVA with Anwar and Melles techniques.
There was also no systematic bias, although a slight trend to more minus spherical power (0.03 D) was found with the novel technique compared with the standard refraction, which is much lower than within examiner variation. 5 , 13 , 23 Clinicians can expect equivalent refraction end points whether using the standard phoropter refraction technique or the novel Chronos binocular refracting system in adult patients.
