To compare the outcomes with IntraLase-enabled keratoplasty using (IEK) Top Hat (TH) versus Zig Zag (ZZ) configuration.Retrospective comparative series of 24 eyes that underwent TH and 10 eyes that underwent ZZ IEK.There were no significant differences in LogMar Best-spectacle corrected visual acuity (TH- IEK=0.3; ZZ-IEK=0.18, p=0.18), spherical equivalent (TH-IEK=-3.55±3.7 dioptres (D); ZZ-IEK=-2.69±4.85 D, p=0.60), manifest cylinder (TH- IEK=3.79±2.43 D; ZZ- IEK=4.61±3.29 D, p=0.45), topographic astigmatism (TH-IEK=3.67±2.34 D; ZZ-IEK=4.26±1.1 D, p=0.63), total higher-order aberrations (TH- IEK=8.26±3.53; ZZ-IEK=8.1±4.71, P=0.92), endothelial cell density change from baseline (TH- IEK= -41.55%±15.86; ZZ-IEK=-25.45%±30.66, p=0.22) or time to suture removal in months (TH- IEK=7.48±4.07; ZZ- IEK=6.93±2.71, p=0.75). There was no difference in requirements for astigmatic keratectomy (TH-IEK=54.2%±13; ZZ-IEK=50%±5, OR=1.18) or complications (TH-IEK=25%±6; ZZ-IEK=30%±3, OR=0.78).TH-IEK and ZZ-IEK have comparable visual and refractive outcomes, wound healing and endothelial cell counts at 1-year.
