PurposeTo compare the refractive and keratometric changes induced by femtosecond laser astigmatic keratotomy (AK) for suture-out post-keratoplasty astigmatism in deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty (group I) and penetrating keratoplasty (group II).SettingDhahran Eye Specialist Hospital, Dhahran, Saudi Arabia.DesignRetrospective, comparative, interventional study.MethodsThis study comprised 15 eyes in group I and 35 eyes in group II. All eyes underwent femtosecond AK for suture-out post-keratoplasty astigmatism. The refractive and keratometric measurements were evaluated before and 6months after AK. The Alpins method for vector analysis was used to evaluate the keratometric changes induced by AK.ResultsThe astigmatic correction was 99 and 110% in group I and group II, respectively (p=0.743) and the success of AK was 43 and 51% in group I and group II (p=0.966). There was a trend in the magnitude of error toward overcorrection with increased surgically induced astigmatism (r=0.80 with p
