目的：观察飞秒激光辅助下的角膜基质透镜植入联合角膜胶原交联术(SLAK-CXL)治疗进展期圆锥角膜术后角膜上皮重塑情况，探讨角膜上皮重塑规律和影响因素，为进一步屈光矫正提供良好的时机选择。

方法：回顾性、观察性研究。纳入2020-09/2021-10于我院接受SLAK-CXL的圆锥角膜患者28例29眼，记录手术前后视力、眼压(IOP)、屈光度、角膜曲率及角膜上皮厚度(CET)，观察CET变化趋势，并根据透镜厚度和植入深度分析影响CET变化的因素。

结果：与术前比较，纳入患者术后1mo角膜前表面曲率平坦值(K_f)和陡峭值(K_s)均升高(P<0.05)，术后1、2、6mo，1a角膜最薄点厚度(TCT)均升高(P<0.05)。纳入患者术后CET随时间变化而变化，中央区CET变化趋势较明显。与术前相比，术后1、2、6mo，1a旁中央区上方、鼻上方、鼻侧和颞上方CET均降低，中周区上方、颞侧、颞上方CET均降低，外周区鼻上方CET均增加。术后1a，不同植入透镜深度和厚度患者各分区角膜上皮厚度变化量均无差异(P>0.05)。

结论：首次发现SLAK-CXL治疗圆锥角膜术后角膜形态发生变化，CET呈先减少再增加再减少趋势，术后1a中央区、旁中央区CET降低，中周区、外周区CET增加，且角膜上皮重塑程度与术中植入透镜深度和厚度均无关。

METHODS: Retrospective and observational study. A total of 28 keratoconus patients(29 eyes)who received SLAK-CXL from September 2020 to October 2021 were included. Preoperative and postoperative visual acuity, intraocular pressure(IOP), diopter, keratometry and corneal epithelial thickness(CET)were recorded. The trend of CET change was observed. The factors affecting CET were analyzed according to the thickness and depth of the lenticule.

RESULTS: Flattest meridian keratometry(K_f)and steepest meridian keratometry(K_s)at 1mo postoperatively were significantly larger than those preoperatively(P<0.05). The thinnest corneal thickness(TCT)at 1, 2, 6mo and 1a postoperatively were significantly larger than preoperative(P<0.05). The CET changed with time, with the central CET showing a larger variation tendency. The CET of superior, superior nasal, nasal, superior temporal in paracentral area were thinned, the CET of superior, temporal, superior temporal in midperipheral area were thinned, while the CET of superior nasal was thickened in peripheral area at 1, 2, 6mo and 1a postoperatively. The variation of CET was not correlated with the thickness or depth of lenticule at 1a postoperatively(P>0.05).

CONCLUSIONS: It is firstly found that the corneal morphology has changed after SLAK-CXL. CET decreases and then increases and then decreases again. At 1a postoperatively, the CET of the central and paracentral areas is thinner, while the CET of the midperipheral and peripheral areas is thicker. The degree of epithelial remodeling is not correlated with lenticule thickness or depth.
