硬性透气性接触镜停戴后角膜前表面像差变化分析

Objective The present study used a corneal topographic device to record aberrations on the anterior surface of the cornea at different time-points prior to wearing and following discontinued use of rigid gas permeable (RGP) contact lenses. The effect of wearing RGPCL on the anterior surface of the cornea was discussed to provide guidance for clinical refractive error correction. Methods The study objects were 60 eyes from 30 patients. All patients underwent identical examination procedures prior to lens use, as well as afterwards, including slit-lamp examination, non-contact tonometer measurement, computer optometry & corneal curvature measurement, subjective refraction test, and corneal topography analysis. The patients wore contact lenses every day for 1 month and then discontinued. Corneal topographies were recorded at certain time points of 30 min, 1 day, 3 days, 1 week, and 2 weeks following use. Results Total corneal aberration at each time point following discontinued use of RGP contact lenses was less than the time point prior to use. Detailed results are as follows; root mean square (RMS) (pre) = (1.438 ±0.328), RMS (30 min) = (1.076 ± 0.355), RMS (1 day) = (1.362 ± 0.402) , RMS (3 day) =(1.373 ± 0.398), RMS (7 day) = (1.387 ± 0.415), and RMS (14 day) = (1.448 ± 0.423) .Results showed that at 30 minutes after discontinued use of RGP contact lenses, almost all 2nd-and 3rd-order aberrations were altered. Quadrafoil Z10 and spherical Z12 of the 4th-order were also changed. Alterations to Z5, Z6, and Z12 at 1 day after discontinued use were significant compared with the time period prior to RGP use: Z5 and Z6 decreased, and Z12 increased slightly( F =2. 869 ～5. 549 ,P =0. 001 ～0. 042). Z5 and Z6remained decreased at 3 days after discontinued use, but Z9 and Z10 continued to increase and Z12 returned to levels prior to RGP use ( P ＞ 0. 05 ). At 2 weeks after discontinued use, all aberrations were not significantly different from the values prior to use ( P ＞ 0. 05). Conclusions The use RGP contact lenses greatly reduced total aberration of the anterior surface of the cornea. Changes to 2nd- and 3rd-order aberrations ( including Z3, Z4, Z5, Z6, Z7, and Z8 ) were more significant. Following discontinued use of RGP contact lenses, the majority of lower order aberrations returned to original levels in a short period of time. During this process, a transient higher order aberration appeared, but all changes disappeared within 2 weeks after discontinued use of RGP contact lenses.     

Aberration changes of the corneal anterior surface following discontinued use of rigid gas permeable contact lenses

AIM: To record aberrations with a corneal topographic device on the anterior surface of the cornea at different time-points prior to wearing and following discontinued use of rigid gas permeable (RGP) contact lenses. The effect of wearing RGP on the anterior surface of the cornea was discussed to provide guidance for clinical refractive error correction.METHODS: The study objects were 24 eyes from 24 patients. All patients underwent identical examination procedures prior to lens use, as well as afterwards, including slit-lamp examination, non-contact tonometer measurement, computer optometry and corneal curvature measurement, subjective refraction test, and corneal topography analysis. The patients wore contact lenses everyday for 1 month and then discontinued. Corneal topographies were recorded at certain time points of 30 minutes, 1 day, 3, 7 and 14 days following use.RESULTS: Total corneal aberration at each time point following discontinued use of RGP contact lenses was less than the time point prior to use. Detailed results were as follows:root mean square (RMS) (pre)=(1.438±0.328)μm, RMS (30 minutes)=(1.076±0.355)μm, RMS (1 day)=(1.362±0.402)μm, RMS (3 days)=(1.373±0.398)μm, RMS (7 days)=(1.387±0.415)μm, and RMS (14 days)=(1.430±0.423)μm. Results showed that at 30 minutes after discontinued use of RGP contact lenses, almost all 2^nd- and 3^rd-order aberrations change. Quadrafoil Z10 and spherical Z12 of the 4^th-order were also changed. Alterations to Z5, Z6, and Z12 at 1 day after discontinued use were significant differences compared with the time period prior to RGP use:Z5 and Z6 decreased, and Z12 increased slightly. Z5 and Z6 remained decreased at 3 days after discontinued use, but Z9 and Z10 continued to increase and Z12 returned to levels prior to RGP use. At 14 days after discontinued use, all aberrations were not significantly different from the values prior to use.CONCLUSION: The use RGP contact lenses greatly reduced total aberration of the anterior surface of the cornea. Changes to 2^nd- and 3^rd-order aberrations (including Z3, Z4, Z5, Z6, Z7, and Z8) were more significant. Following discontinued use of RGP contact lenses, the majority of lower order aberrations returned to original levels in a short period of time. During this process, a transient higher order aberration appeared, but all changes disappeared within 14 days after discontinued use of RGP contact lenses.

Comparison of age-related changes between corneal and ocular aberration in young and mid-age myopic patients

AIM: To study the dynamic character of aberration between the cornea and the ocular with aging, and to evaluate the symmetry of the aberrations between right and left eye in order to supply the data for clinic to do the refractive surgery reasonably. METHODS: This is a comparative case series study. 82 normal cases (164 eyes) including 37 females (74 eyes) and 45 males (90 eyes) were recruited through the routine examinations、Topolyzer and wavefront analysis. The average age was 25.9±5.0 years old (range 18 to 49 years old), and the mean spherical equivalent (SE) is -3.82±2.21D (range -1.00 to -6.00D). The changes of aberrations regarding age, the relationship between anterior corneal and total aberrations were analyzed,as well as the symmetry between right and left eyes by using Zernike terms. RESULTS: The Z 3 1, RMS3 of corneal aberrations, Z 3 1, Z 4 0 , RMS3 and RMS4 of ocular aberrations had a positive correlation with age. The zernike terms both in corneal and whole eye were significantly correlated between right and left eyes. CONCLUSION: The corneal horizontal coma, ocular horizontal coma and ocular spherical aberrations become to increase at the age of more than 40 years old. The dynamic change of aberration with aging, balance between corneal and ocular, and the symmetric character between left eye and right eye should be designed carefully in the treatment nomogram before the refractive surgery.     

Comparison of effectiveness of silicone hydrogel contact lens and hydrogel contact lens in patients after LASEK

AIM: To conduct a comparative study of effectiveness of silicone hydrogel contact lens and hydrogel contact lens, which are used in patients after laser-assisted subepithelial keratomileusis (LASEK). METHODS: Sixty-three patients (121 eyes) with a spherical equivalent ≤-5.0 D were chosen after undergoing LASEK in 2012 at Guangdong General Hospital. They were randomly divided into 2 groups. The silicone hydrogel group included 32 cases (61 eyes) that wore silicone hydrogel contact lenses for 4-6d after the operation, while the hydrogel group included 31 cases (60 eyes) who wore hydrogel contact lenses for 4-6d after the operation. Patients’ self-reported postoperative symptoms (including pain, photophobia, tears, and foreign body sensation) were evaluated. The healing time of the corneal epithelium, the visual acuity of patients without contact lens after epithelial healing, and the incidence of delayed corneal epithelial shedding were also assessed. The follow-up time was 1mo. RESULTS: Postoperative symptoms were milder in the silicone hydrogel group than in the hydrogel group. There were significant differences in pain, foreign body sensation, and photophobia between the 2 groups (P<0.05), although there was no significant difference in postoperative tearing (P>0.05). The healing time of the corneal epithelium in the silicone hydrogel lens group was markedly shorter than that in the hydrogel group (4.07±0.25 vs 4.33±0.82d, t=2.43, P=0.02). Visual acuity without contact lenses after healing of the corneal epithelium was better in the silicone hydrogel group compared with the hydrogel group (χ2=7.76, P=0.02). There was no significant difference in the occurrence of delayed corneal epithelial shedding between the 2 groups (P>0.05). CONCLUSION: Patients with LASEK using silicon hydrogel contact lenses had less discomfort and shorter corneal epithelial healing time compared with those using hydrogel contact lenses, suggesting that silicon hydrogel contact lenses may be considered to be a better choice of bandage contact lens after LASEK.     

白内障超声乳化并人工晶状体植入术后高阶像差变化及意义

Objective To observe the changes of high-order aberrations of pseudophakic eye after phacoemusification surgery, and to explore their clinical significance.Methods By Zywave wavefront instrument,the high-order aberrations such as general high-order aberrations,spherical aberration,coma were detected their root mean square (RMS) of 129 surgical cases(129 eyes)(60 asperical intraocular lens,69 spherical intraocular lens) and 107 control persons (107 eyes). Analysis of covariance was then committed. Results Compared with the control, the RMS values of general high-order aberration, Z331, Z311, Z441, Z400, Z420,Z440,Z511,Z510,Z550 of the surgical cases were statistically significant (P＜0.05); the RMS values of general high-order aberration,Z331,Z441,Z400,Z440,Z511,Z510,Z550 of the aspherical cases were statistically significant (P＜0.05); the RMS values of general high-order aberration,Z331,Z311,Z400,Z420, Z440, Z511,Z550 of the spherical cases were statistically significant (P＜0.05). Conclusions The majority of high-order aberrations of pseudophakic eye after phacoemusification surgery is significantly increased; the sub order aberrations increase differently according to the different lens, while the general high-order aberration, Z331,Z400,Z440,Z511,Z550 always increase; the aspherical lens can effectively reduce spherical aberration of pseudophakic eye.     

Optimal incision sites to reduce corneal aberration variations after small incision phacoemulsification cataract surgery

AIM: To analyze the effect of steep meridian small incision phacoemulsification cataract surgery on anterior, posterior and total corneal wavefront aberration. METHODS: Steep meridian small incision phacoemulsification cataract surgery was performed in age-related cataract patients which were divided into three groups according to the incision site: 12 o’clock, 9 o’clock and between 9 and 12 o’clock (BENT) incision groups. The preoperative and 3-month postoperative root mean square (RMS) values of anterior, posterior and total corneal wavefront aberration including coma, spherical aberration, and total higher-order aberrations (HOAs), were measured by Pentacam scheimpflug imaging. The mean preoperative and postoperative corneal wavefront aberrations were documented. RESULTS: Total corneal aberration and total lower-order aberrations decreased significantly in three groups after operation. RMS value of total HOAs decreased significantly postoperatively in the 12 o’clock incision group (P<0.001). Corneal spherical aberration was statistically significantly lower after steep meridian small incision phacoemulsification cataract surgery in BENT incision group (P<0.05) and Pearson correlation analysis indicated that spherical aberration changes had no significant relationship with total astigmatism changes in all three corneal incision location. CONCLUSION: Corneal incision of phacoemulsification cataract surgery can affect corneal wavefront aberration. The 12 o’clock corneal incision eliminated more HOAs and the spherical aberrations decreased in BENT incision group obviously when we selected steep meridian small incision. Cataract lens replacement using wavefront-corrected intraocular lens combined with optimized corneal incision site would improve ocular aberration results.

Abstract：

Objective To evaluate the efficacy of specially designed rigid gas-permeable contact lenses (RGP) in visual correction and visual symptom control after corneal refractive surgery. Methods Eleven eyes of 7 cases after myopic corneal refractive surgery from optometry clinic were fitted with RGP in different designs after routine eye checks. Uncorrected visual acuity (UCVA), best spectacle corrected visual acuity (BSCVA) before RGP fitting and best contact lens corrected visual acuity (BCLCVA) after RGP fitting were recorded. Wave front aberrations of some patients before and after RGP fitting were measured. Fitting state and complications were recorded at follow-ups. Results Three kinds of lens design were applied: keratoconic design, reverse geometry design and aspheric design with larger diameter. BCLCVA was much higher than UCVA and BSCVA. Spherical aberration, coma and trefoil were reduced by 88.7%, 92.9% and 18.9% respectively after RGP fitting. Visual symptoms of all patients after RGP fitting were improved. The main complication was corneal staining of iatrogenic keratoconus. All patients can tolerate wearing RGP in the day time after an average follow-up of 21.5 months. Conclusions Specially designed RGP fitted after corneal refractive surgery can raise the best corrected visual acuity and improve the quality of vision. No serious complications related to RGPwearing are observed.     

Comparison of efficacy of two different silicone hydrogel bandage contact lenses after T-PRK

AIM:To compare the efficacy between two different silicone hydrogel bandage contact lenses after transepithelial photorefractive keratectomy(T-PRK).METHODS:In this randomized controlled trial,a total of 89 patients(178 eyes) who underwent T-PRK at the Qingdao Eye Hospital from October to December 2019 were selected.One random eye wore a Senofilcon A bandage contact lens after surgery,and the other eye a Balafilcon A bandage contact lens.Pain scores,uncorrected visual acuity(UCVA),spherical equivalent(SE),corneal epithelial healing status,epithelial thickness,bandage lenses deposits,lenses movement,and ocular surface conditions were measured and compared.RESULTS:There were no differences between the two groups in UCVA,SE,corneal epithelial healing status,corneal epithelial thickness,tear river heights and tear film rupture time at each follow-up visit.However,postoperative pain scores in the Senofilcon A group were significantly lower than those of the Balafilcon A group(F_intergroups=67.833,P<0.001;F_time=383.773,P<0.001;F_interaction=57.344,P<0.001).The duration of pain in eyes in the Senofilcon A group was shorter than that of the Balafilcon A group(t=-3.326,P=0.001).The surface deposition scores and movement scores of Senofilcon A bandage lenses on the first and fourth days after surgery were lower than those of Balafilcon A bandage lenses(Z=-5.385,-6.782,P<0.001;Z=-8.336,-8.906,P<0.001).CONCLUSION:Both Senofilcon A and Balafilcon A bandage lenses have good efficacy after T-PRK.Senofilcon A lenses are associated with less pain and more comfort compared to Balafilcon A.     

Treatment of moderate to severe keratoconus with 6-mm Intacs SK

AIM: To evaluate the effect of Intacs SK corneal ring segment implant for treatment of patients with moderate to severe keratoconus, who have clear central cornea and cannot tolerate contact lens. METHODS: In this prospective, non-comparative, interventional case series study performed in Dena Hospital, Shiraz, Iran, thirty-seven eyes of thirty-six patients with moderate to severe keratoconus, clear central cornea, and contact lens intolerance were enrolled and underwent Intacs SK corneal ring segment implantation. Preoperatively, uncorrected distance visual acuity (UCDVA), best-corrected distance visual acuity (BCDVA), central corneal thickness(CCT) and average keratometry (Av-K) were measured and compared with post-operative results at one week, one month, three months, and six months. RESULTS: Mean preoperative UCDVA and BCDVA were (1.32±0.31)logMAR and (1.07±0.27)logMAR, respectively. Av-K was (52.13±0.39)D, and the CCT was (432±39.5)μm. Post-operative examinations showed a clinically significant improvement in both UCDVA and BCDVA (P<0.001). There was also a significant effect based on the time of assessment on both UCDVA and BCDVA and both parameters had a continuous improvement during the follow-up period. Three months after operation there was a statistical significant reduction of Av-K (P=0.0001), but there were no significant changes in CCT (P=0.149). CONCLUSION: Intacs SK corneal ring segment implants seem to be a safe and effective treatment option for patients who have keratoconus, clear central cornea, and contact lens intolerance.     

Treatment of retinal detachment of the course of retinopathy of prematurity

Cryo- and laser therapy of stage 3 have reduced, but not eliminated the occurrence of retinal detachment in stages 4a, 4b and 5 of ROP. In this disease the treatment of these stages is still the greatest challenge to the ophthalmologist. Therefore, the aim of this paper is to present our up-to-date possibilities of treatment of different kinds of retinal detachments in ROP, including segmental scleral buckling, encircling scleral buckling, scleral resection, vitrectomy and its modifications in ROP. Guidelines of surgery of retinal detachment in active stage 4 and 5 of retinopathy of prematurity have been described.     

Analysis of some of the possible neonatal risk factors of development of retinopathy of prematurity

PURPOSE: The aim of the study was to evaluate some of the possible risk factors for retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) treated with laser photocoagulation or cryocoagulation. MATERIAL AND METHODS: The study comprised 71 preterm infants with ROP needing treatment and 118 prematures without ROP or with ROP requiring no treatment, as a control group. All infants were born with gestational age < or = 32 weeks and birth weight < or = 1500g. The perinatal variables, including some of clinical data, the length of mechanical ventilation as well as continous positive airway pressure (CPAP), duration of total parenteral nutrition and some of laboratory data were analyzed, to evaluate their correlation with the development of ROP. RESULTS: Gestational age before 28 weeks (OR = 5.11), episodes of convulsiones (OR = 2.15), mechanical ventilation for more than 20 days (OR = 5.86) and > 30 days (OR = 7.47), CPAP for more than 5 days (OR = 4.15) and > 10 days (OR = 2.84), total parenteral nutrition for more than 10 days (OR = 7.84) and > 20 days (OR = 9.02) and elevated peak of alanine aminotransferase (AIAT) levels (OR = 3.17) were significant risk factors for ROP requiring treatment. CONCLUSIONS: The opthalmic examination for retinopathy of prematurity requiring laser photocoagulation or cryocoagulation should be obligatory for prematures born < or = 32 weeks of gestational age, with birth weight < or = 1500 g.The frequency of the consecutive ophthalmic examinations depends on the severity of prematurity and on the presence and intensification of the risk factors for ROP.
