Purpose
To report outcomes of deep sclerectomy (DS) with intraoperative mitomycin C (MMC) application in eyes with previous failed glaucoma surgery (GS) and/or cataract extraction (CE).Patients and methods
Single-surgeon case series of 82 eyes of 82 patients undergoing DS with MMC. The patients had previous CE with IOL and/or conjunctival GS and treated intraocular pressure (IOP) >18 mm Hg. MMC (0.2 mg/ml) was applied for 2–3 min before scleral flap dissection. Complete success was defined as IOP between 6 and 21 mm Hg or a reduction of 20% from baseline without medications. Reoperation for glaucoma or related complications, or loss of light perception vision was considered as failure.Results
Mean follow-up was 57.7±22.4 months with 78% of patients completing the 3-year follow-up. Mean IOP decreased from 24.0 mm Hg (22.3–25.6, 95% confidence intervals) to 13.4 mm Hg (12.0–14.2) at 3 years after surgery (P<0.001). There was a significant decrease in the number of glaucoma medications from 2.0±1 preoperatively, to 0.3±0.7, 3 years after surgery. Kaplan–Meier cumulative success rates were 85.6% at 1 year, 80.0% at 2 years, and 76% at 3 years. At 3 years, IOP was maintained <19 and 15 mm Hg in 83 and 70% of eyes, respectively. Fourteen eyes (17.1%) had complications. Delayed hypotony (IOP <6 mm Hg) was the commonest complication in five eyes (6.1%).Conclusion
DS with MMC appears to be a safe and effective surgical procedure for eyes with previous intraocular surgery. 相似文献2.

Aim
The aim of this study is to compare the 24-hour efficacy of dorzolamide/timolol-fixed combination (DTFC) and brimonidine/timolol-fixed combination (BTFC) in primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG).Methods
One eye each of 77 POAG patients was included in this prospective, observer-masked, crossover comparison. Following a 2-month timolol run-in period, patients had three intraocular pressure (IOP) measurements at 1000, 1200 and 1400 h while on timolol treatment. Patients showing at least a 20% IOP reduction on timolol were randomised to 3 months of therapy with DTFC or BTFC, and then were crossed over to the opposite therapy.Results
Sixty POAG patients completed the study. The mean 24-hour IOP was significantly reduced with both the fixed combinations compared with the timolol-treated diurnal IOP (P<0.001). When the two fixed combinations were compared directly, DTFC demonstrated a lower mean 24-hour IOP level as compared with BTFC (mean difference: −0.7 mm Hg, 95% confidence interval (CI): (−1.0, −0.3), P<0.001). At two individual time points, DTFC significantly reduced IOP more than BTFC: at 1800 h (−1.0 mm Hg, 95% CI (−1.6,−0.5), P=0.001) and at 0200 (−0.9 mm Hg, 95% CI: (−1.4,−0.5), P=0.001). No significant difference existed for the other time points.Conclusion
Both the fixed combinations significantly reduce 24-hour IOP in POAG. DTFC provided significantly better 24-hour efficacy. 相似文献3.
Purpose
The purpose of this study is to compare the safety and intraocular pressure (IOP)-lowering efficacy of travoprost/timolol in a benzalkonium chloride (BAK)-free fixed combination preserved with polyquaternium-1 (TRA/TIM BAK-free), with travoprost/timolol-fixed combination preserved with BAK (TRA/TIM), in patients with open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension.Methods
In this prospective randomized controlled trial, subjects with IOP of at least 22 mm Hg in one or both eyes at 0900 h, and IOP of at least 21 mm Hg in one or both eyes at 1100 h and 1600 h at two eligibility visits were randomly assigned to receive either TRA/TIM BAK-free (n=195) or TRA/TIM (n=193), dosed once daily in the morning (0900 h) for 6 weeks. IOP was assessed at 0900 h, 1100 h, and 1600 h at each scheduled visit (baseline, 2 and 6 weeks after randomization).Results
Mean IOP reduction across all visits and time points was 8.0 mm Hg in the TRA/TIM BAK-free group and 8.4 mm Hg in the TRA/TIM group (P=0.0943). The difference in mean IOP between groups ranged from 0.2 to 0.7 mm Hg across visits and time points, with a mean pooled difference of 0.4 mm Hg (95% CI: −0.1 to 0.8), demonstrating equivalence of the two formulations. The most common drug-related adverse event was hyperemia of the eye (ocular hyperemia and conjunctival hyperemia combined), occurring in 11.8% of the TRA/TIM BAK-free group and 13.0% of the TRA/TIM group.Conclusion
Travoprost/timolol BAK-free demonstrated equivalence to travoprost/timolol preserved with BAK in efficacy. No clinically relevant differences in the safety profiles of travoprost/timolol BAK-free and travoprost/timolol preserved with BAK were identified. 相似文献4.
Aim
To verify the safety and efficacy of Ologen (OLO) implant as adjuvant compared with low-dosage mitomycin-C (MMC) in trabeculectomy.Methods
This was a prospective randomized clinical trial with a 24-month follow-up. Forty glaucoma patients (40 eyes) were assigned to trabeculectomy with MMC or OLO. Primary outcome includes target IOP at ≤21, ≤17, and ≤15 mm Hg; complete (target IOP without medications), and qualified success (target IOP regardless of medications). Secondary outcomes include bleb evaluation, according to Moorfields Bleb Grading System (MBGS); spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) examination; number of glaucoma medications; and frequency of postoperative adjunctive procedures and complications.Results
The mean preoperative IOP was 26.5 (±5.2) in MMC and 27.3 (±6.0) in OLO eyes, without statistical significance. One-day postoperatively, the IOP dropped to 5.2 (±3.5) and 9.2 (±5.5) mm Hg, respectively (P=0.009). The IOP reduction was significant at end point in all groups (P=0.01), with a mean IOP of 16.0 (±2.9) and 16.5 (±2.1) mm Hg in MMC and OLO, respectively. The rates and Kaplan–Meier curves did not differ for both complete and qualified success at any target IOP. The bleb height in OLO group was higher than MMC one (P<0.05). SD-OCT analysis of successful/unsuccessful bleb in patients with or without complete success at IOP ≤17 mm Hg indicated a sensitivity of 83% and 73% and a specificity of 75% and 67%, respectively, for MMC and OLO groups. No adverse reaction to OLO was noted.Conclusions
Our results suggest that OLO implant could be a new, safe, and effective alternative to MMC, with similar long-term success rate. 相似文献5.
Purpose
To compare intraocular pressure (IOP) over time after standard trabeculectomy vsEx-PRESS implantation in patients with bilateral primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG).Design
Prospective, randomised study.Patients and methods
This study included adult patients with bilateral POAG necessitating surgery. Each patient underwent trabeculectomy in one eye and Ex-PRESS implantation under a scleral flap in the other eye according to randomised contralateral allocations. Efficacy was assessed by IOP values and success rates (IOP threshold and/or need for topical glaucoma medication) during 30 months. Statistical analysis included Generalised Estimate Equation and Cox Survival models, and paired t-tests.Results
Thirty eyes of 15 patients were studied for a mean of 23.6 months (SD, ±6.9). At the last follow-up visit, mean pre-operative IOP decreased from 31.1 (±14.2) to 16.2 (±1.5) mm Hg after trabeculectomy, and from 28.1 (±9.0) to 15.7 (±1.8) mm Hg after Ex-PRESS implantation (P=0.001). The mean number of anti-glaucoma medicines prescribed at the last follow-up decreased from 3.7 pre-operatively (both groups) to 0.9 after trabeculectomy vs0.3 after Ex-PRESS implantation (P=0.001). Complete success rates (5Conclusions
Trabeculectomy and Ex-PRESS implantation provided similar IOP control, but the Ex-PRESS group had a lower rate of complications, fewer postoperative interventions, and needed less glaucoma medications. 相似文献6.

Purpose
To evaluate the influence of silicone hydrogel contact lenses on the intraocular pressure (IOP) measurement using Goldmann applanation tonometry (GAT), non-contact tonometry (NCT), and Pascal dynamic contour tonometry (DCT).Methods
We included in the study 40 eyes of 40 patients who did not have any ocular or systemic diseases or contraindications to contact lens use. We measured and recorded the IOP values of each patient using NCT without and with contact lenses (groups 1 and 2, respectively), using DCT without and with contact lenses (groups 3 and 4, respectively), and using GAT without contact lenses (group 5).Results
The mean IOP value of group 1 was 14.55±2.95 mm Hg and 13.92±2.58 mm Hg in group 2. We detected no statistically significant difference between group 1 and group 2 (P=0.053). The mean IOP values for group 3 and group 4 were 16.26±2.33 mm Hg and 15.19±2.40 mm Hg, respectively. We detected a statistically significant difference between groups 3 and 4 (P=0.005). Group 5''s mean IOP value was 12.97±2.65 mm Hg. IOP values measured with DCT were statistically significantly higher compared with IOP values measured with NCT and GAT (P<0.0001 and P<0.0001, respectively). Additionally, IOP values measured with NCT were statistically significantly higher compared with IOP values measured with GAT (P<0.0001).Conclusion
According to the results of our study, silicone hydrogel soft contact lens use does not significantly affect IOP values measured with NCT, but it affects IOP values measured with DCT. 相似文献7.

Pupose:
The purpose of this study was to compare the biomechanical properties of the cornea and intraocular pressure (IOP) between patients with systemic lupus erythematosis (SLE) and age-matched controls.Patients and Methods:
In this prospective study, 30 healthy individuals (control group) and 30 patients with SLE (study group) underwent Reichert ocular response analyzer (ORA) measurements. In the right eye of each participant, the corneal hysteresis (CH), corneal resistance factor (CRF), and Goldman-related IOP (IOPg) were recorded using the ORA.Results:
Mean CH, CRF, IOPg were significantly different between groups. Mean CH was 10.2±0.6 mm Hg in the study group and 11.3±1.3 in the control group (P=0.02); mean CRF was 9.7±1.1 mm Hg and 11.9±1.5 mm Hg, respectively (P=0.001). Mean IOPg was 13.9±2.9 mm Hg in the study group and 16.9±2.6 mm Hg in the control group (P=0.001).Conclusion:
The biomechanical properties of the cornea are altered in patients with SLE compared with normal controls. These findings should be taken into account when measuring IOP values in patients with SLE as IOP readings may be underestimated in SLE eyes. 相似文献8.
Purpose
To compare the intraocular pressures (IOPs) obtained with the IOPen rebound tonometer, Goldmann applanation tonometer (GAT) and the ocular response analyzer (ORA) and investigate the effects of corneal biomechanical properties on IOPen measurements.Methods
A total of 198 normal eyes were included in this cross-sectional and randomized study. Three measurements were taken using IOPen. Agreement between tonometers was calculated using the Bland and Altman limits of agreement (LoA) analysis.Results
The median IOPen IOP was 3 mm Hg below the GAT (P<0.001), 3 mm Hg below the ORA IOP similar to Goldmann (IOPg), and 3 mm Hg below the ORA IOP corrected using corneal parameters (IOPcc)(P<0.01). The LoA width between the IOPen and GAT IOPs varied between 13.92 (mean IOPen IOP) and 15.99 mm Hg (third IOPen measurement). The central corneal thickness (CCT) was unrelated to IOPen measurements (P>0.05). Corneal hysteresis (CH) and corneal rigidity factor (CRF) were correlated with IOPen and GAT.Conclusions
IOPen underestimated the IOP compared with GAT and ORA. The effect of measurement quality or measurement order on IOPen was low. CCT did not affect the IOPen, but the CH and CRF did. The LoA width between the IOPen and GAT IOPs was higher than between the ORA IOPg or ORA IOPcc and GAT IOPs. 相似文献9.
Purpose
To study the change in retinal nerve fibre layer (RNFL) thickness and optic nerve head (ONH) parameters using optical coherence tomography (Stratus OCT 3) after trabeculectomy in adult patients with glaucoma.Methods
A total of 17 patients with glaucoma undergoing trabeculectomy were recruited. Average and quadrant RNFL thickness measurements, vertical integrated rim area, horizontal integrated rim width, disc area, cup area, and rim area were measured using Stratus OCT within a week before surgery and at 1 week, 1 and 3 months postoperatively. Main outcome measures were change in RNFL and ONH parameters. Pre- and postoperative values were analysed using the Wilcoxon signed-rank test.Results
Intraocular pressure (IOP) reduced from 30.23±9.02 mm Hg preoperatively to 9.52 ±2.42 mm Hg at 1 week, 12.35±4.59 mm Hg at 1 month, and 13.6 ±2.31 mm Hg at 3 months after trabeculectomy. A significant increase in average (P=0.019) and inferior RNFL (P=0.038) thickness was observed 1 week after surgery. At 3 months postoperatively, they had reverted to preoperative values. RNFL thickness change had no correlation with IOP change. Mean optic disc cup area decreased from 2.39±0.52 mm2 preoperatively to 2.14±0.52 mm2 at 1 week (P=0.022), 2.22±0.53 mm2 at 1 month (P=0.038), and 2.27±0.60 mm2 at 3 months (P=0.071). No significant change was found in other ONH parameters.Conclusions
Short-term fluctuations were noted in RNFL thickness and ONH postoperatively following glaucoma filtration surgery. RNFL thickness temporarily increased and cup area decreased but the values reverted to normal within 3 months. 相似文献10.
Purpose
To estimate the prevalence and associated risk factors of primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) in a rural population in northeast China.Methods
A population-based survey was conducted within Bin County, Harbin of northeast China. Glaucoma was diagnosed using International Society of Geographical and Epidemiological Ophthalmology criteria. All the subjects underwent a complete ophthalmic examination.Results
A total of 4956 (86.0%) of 5762 subjects aged 40 years or older were examined. The mean intraocular pressure (IOP) of right eyes was 14.0 (95% confidence interval (CI), 13.9 to 14.1) mm Hg. The prevalence of POAG was 0.71% (35/4956, 95% CI, 0.47 to 0.93). In these POAG subjects, 17 (48.6%) had elevated IOP >21 mm Hg in either eye, 3 (8.8%) participants had been treated by laser trabeculoplasty or trabeculectomy and were known to have POAG. Vision impairment to varying degrees was present in 20 subjects (58.8%) with 1 subject blind in both eyes and 8 subjects blind in one eye. On multivariate analysis, age, family history of glaucoma, systemic hypertension, and IOP were regarded as significant independent risk factors.Conclusions
POAG is a disease of serious consequence and of low diagnosis and treatment rates in rural northeast China. Age, family history of glaucoma, systemic hypertension, and IOP remain as significant independent risk factors for POAG. 相似文献11.
Purpose
To measure corneal hysteresis and intraocular pressure (IOP) in patients with dry eye and to compare with normal subjects.Methods
This cross-sectional study consists of 70 eyes of 40 patients with dry eye (group 1) and 75 eyes of 40 normal subjects (group 2). Eyes were diagnosed as dry eye or normal according to the clinical symptoms, biomicroscopical evaluation, and Schirmer test. Corneal hysteresis (CH), corneal resistance factor (CRF), and cornea-compensated intraocular pressure (IOPcc) were measured by the Ocular Response Analyser (ORA).Results
Mean CH values were 10.56±0.25 mm Hg and 10.34±0.26 mm Hg, mean CRF values were 10.75±0.28 mm Hg and 10.70±0.28 mm Hg, mean CCT values were 542±3.20 μm and 543±3.89 μm in group 1 and group 2, respectively. There was no statistically significant difference between the groups for these three parameters. IOPcc values measured with ORA were 15.73±0.36 mm Hg in group 1 and 16.60±0.33 mm Hg in group 2, and there was no statistically significant difference between the two groups.Conclusions
Corneal biomechanical parameters such as CH and CRF are not influenced in dry eye. Also statistical difference was not found between the two groups according to CCT and IOPcc values. 相似文献12.
Purpose
To evaluate the surgical outcome of combined trabeculotomy–trabeculectomy in Ghanaian children with primary congenital glaucoma.Materials and methods
A retrospective case series involving 19 eyes of 12 consecutive children with primary congenital glaucoma who had primary trabeculotomy–trabeculectomy from 12 August 2004 to 30 June 2008, at the Korle-Bu Teaching Hospital, Ghana. Main outcome measures were preoperative and postoperative intraocular pressures, corneal diameter, corneal clarity, bleb characteristics, duration of follow-up, surgical success, and complications.Results
A total of 19 eyes of 12 patients met the inclusion criteria. Six of the patients were males. Mean age at diagnosis was 4.4 (range 2–8) months. Mean age at surgery was 5.9 months (range 3–16). Eight (67%) infants had bilateral disease. Mean duration of follow-up was 13.1 (range 5–38) months. The preoperative mean horizontal corneal diameter was 13.4±1.1(range 12–16) mm. Complete success (intraocular pressure <21 mm Hg) was obtained in 15 (79%) eyes. The probability of success was 94.4, 83.3, 66.7, 44.4, 38.9, 33.3, and 13.3% at 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, and 21 months, respectively (Kaplan–Meier analysis). All eyes had corneal oedema preoperatively. Seventeen eyes (90%) had clear cornea at their last follow-up. Mean preoperative and postoperative intraocular pressures were 30.3±8.8 and 18.1±6.8 mm Hg respectively (P<0.001, t-test). Twelve (63%) eyes had well-functioning blebs at the last follow-up. One eye (5%) developed seclusio pupillae and cataract postoperatively.Conclusion
The overall success for combined trabeculotomy–trabeculectomy in Ghanaian children with primary congenital glaucoma was 79%. The probability of success reduced from more than 66% in the first 9 months postoperatively to below 45% after that. 相似文献13.

Aim
To determine the effect of contact lens induced oedema on the accuracy of Goldmann tonometry measurements of intraocular pressure (IOP) in mature subjects.Methods
22 healthy subjects aged between 50 and 60 years were recruited. Corneal curvature, IOP, and central corneal thickness (CCT) were measured before and after two hours of monocular closed eye wear of a thick hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA) contact lens. Measurements were then repeated at 20 minute intervals for one hour after lens removal.Results
Both CCT (+54.1 μm) and IOP (+2.7 mm Hg) increased significantly after lens wear (p<0.001, paired t test with Bonferroni correction). For the hour following lens removal, the measured IOP was correlated to the increase in CCT (r = 0.84, p<0.001), at a rate of 1.0 mm Hg/10 μm (95% confidence interval, 0.8 to 1.2 mm Hg/10 μm, linear mixed model analysis).Conclusions
A relatively small increase in CCT from contact lens induced corneal oedema caused an overestimation error in Goldmann tonometry measurements of IOP in healthy mature subjects. 相似文献14.
Purpose
To compare the intraocular pressure (IOP) after 23-gauge transconjunctival sutureless vitrectomy (TSV) and conventional 20-gauge vitrectomy for various vitreoretinal diseases.Methods
This was a retrospective interventional case series including 338 cases of 23-gauge TSV and 476 cases of 20-gauge vitrectomy with minimum follow-up period of 1 month. Postoperative 1 day, 1 week and 1 month IOPs were compared. Multiple regression analysis to assess the actual effect of gauge of vitrectomy on postoperative IOP was performed including intraoperative and postoperative factors influencing postoperative IOP as covariates.Results
The mean IOP of 20-gauge vitrectomy was significantly higher than that of 23-gauge TSV (20.6±8.02 mm Hg vs12.8±4.48 mm Hg, P<0.001) at postoperative day 1, but the differences were not significant at postoperative 1 week and 1 month. The IOP pattern of 23-gauge TSV demonstrated more stable course than that of 20-gauge vitrectomy. At 1 day post vitrectomy, the incidence of hypertony was higher in 20-gauge, whereas that of hypotony was higher in 23-gauge. Among risk factors, the 20-gauge vitrectomy showed the strongest association with postoperative 1 day IOP rise.Conclusion
Twenty-three-gauge TSV has stable and lower IOP in the early postoperative period than the 20-gauge vitrectomy. In patients whose retina and optic nerves are vulnerable to higher or fluctuating IOP, 23-gauge TSV may be more beneficial. 相似文献15.
Purpose
To prospectively examine changes in the central visual field (VF) in patients with advanced open-angle glaucoma (OAG) with advanced late stage after trabeculectomy for 12 months.Design
Prospective interventional case series.Methods
In all, 27 eyes of 27 OAG patients at a single center with a best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) of ≥40/200 and a mean total deviation of test locations of the 10-2 program of the Humphrey VF analyzer of ≤−20 dB preoperatively were enrolled. Intraocular pressure (IOP), VF parameters of the 10-2 program, and BCVA were examined for 12 months after trabeculectomy with mitomycin C. Slopes of VF parameters and their correlation with presumed risk factors were studied.Results
IOP decreased from 19.7±5.8 to 9.7±2.6 mm Hg (P<0.001) over postoperative 1 year. The slopes of all VF parameters did not significantly differ from zero (P>0.33), and none of the presumed factors significantly correlated with the slopes of those parameters (P>0.14). There were two eyes (7%) and one eye (4%) with ≥2 lines of deterioration in BCVA (decimal fraction) at 1 and 12 months, respectively, after surgery with no apparent causes.Conclusions
Trabeculectomy resulted in little change in the central 10-degree VF, but significant decrease in BCVA without apparent causes might occur approximately 5% of the cases. 相似文献16.

Purpose
To compare intrascleral blebs characteristics after deep sclerectomy (DS) with three intrascleral implants using the Visante anterior segment optical coherence tomography.Methods
This is a cross-sectional study including 60 eyes of 51 patients that underwent DS with Sk-Gel, Esnoper, and Aquaflow implant. Intraocular pressure (IOP) measurement, slit-lamp examination, and Visante scans were performed the same day in all the patients. Visante scans were done through the intrascleral bleb at 45°, 90°, and 135° and the bleb height was measured.Results
Sk-Gel was used in 19 eyes (31.66%), Esnoper in 22 eyes (36.66%), and Aquaflow in 19 eyes (31.66%). The median time lapsed from the surgery was 15.50 months 25th and 75th percentiles (p25 8.25; p75 20). The median IOP was 13 mm Hg (p25 10; p75 15), with no significant differences among implants (P=0.232). Overall, the correlation between the scleral bleb height and the IOP was statistically significant at 45° (r=−0.359; P=0.004), 90° (r=−0.410; P=0.001), and 135° (r=−0.417; P=0.001). However, Sk-Gel did not show any statistically significant correlation between the scleral height and IOP whereas the other two groups (Esnoper and Aquaflow) showed a significant correlation. There were no differences in the bleb height among implants.Conclusion
There was a moderate inverse correlation between the scleral bleb height and the IOP measurement after DS with Esnoper and Aquaflow implants. There were no differences in bleb height among the three implants. 相似文献17.
Purpose
To investigate the effect of orbital decompression surgery in thyroid orbitopathy (TO) on both refractive status and intraocular pressure (IOP).Patients and methods
A prospective, multicentre, consecutive audit of patients undergoing thyroid decompression surgery. Indications for surgery included cosmetically unacceptable proptosis or corneal exposure. Exclusion criteria included the following: previous orbital surgery, glaucoma, corneal disease, steroid use in the preceding 12 months, or an acute optic neuropathy. Automated refraction, keratometry, pachymetry, Hertel exophthalmometry, and IOP were recorded at 1 month pre- and 3 months postoperatively. IOP using the Tono-Pen (mean of three readings) was measured in the primary, upgaze, and downgaze positions.Results
Data were collected from 52 orbits of 33 patients (East Grinstead, New York, and Adelaide). There was no significant difference between pre- and postoperative data for sphere, cylinder, or central corneal thickness (CCT). The mean spherical equivalent was −0.43±1.49 D pre-operatively and −0.28±1.52 D postoperatively. The steepest meridian of corneal curvature was 93.1 degrees pre- and 94.2 degrees postoperatively, with no significant difference. Mean IOP significantly decreased when measuring by Goldmann applanation tonometry (GAT) (2.28 mm Hg, * P=0.001) and Tono-Pen (3.06 mm Hg, * P=<0.0001). IOP measured in upgaze was significantly greater than that in the primary position. Regression analysis between change in IOP and either Hertel exophthalmometry or the number of orbital walls decompressed was non-significant (*Student''s t-test).Conclusion
Patients with TO undergoing orbital decompression had, on average, with-the-rule astigmatism not affected by orbital decompression surgery. IOP was significantly reduced by decompression surgery although no relationship between IOP and the degree of decompression was observed. 相似文献18.

Purpose
To compare intraocular pressure (IOP) measurements with Goldmann applanation tonometry (GAT) and iCare tonometry in normal and post-keratoplasty corneas and to assess the influence of central corneal thickness (CCT), corneal curvature (CC), and corneal astigmatism (CA) on IOP.Methods
This prospective cross-sectional study included one eye of 101 subjects with normal corneas (58 healthy subjects, 43 glaucoma); and 90 post-keratoplasty patients: 34 penetrating keratoplasties (PK); 20 automated-lamellar-therapeutic keratoplasties (ALTK); 19 Descemet-stripping-automated-endothelial keratoplasties (DSAEK); 17 edematous grafts. All subjects underwent GAT and iCare IOP measurements in random order, and CCT, CC, and CA evaluation. The Bland–Altman method and multivariate regression analysis were used to assess inter-tonometer agreement and the influence of CCT, CC, and CA on IOP.Results
iCare significantly underestimated IOP in all groups compared with GAT (GAT minus iCare of 3.5±3.5 mm Hg, P<0.001), but overestimated IOP in the edematous grafts (GAT minus iCare of −6.5±1.9 mm Hg, P<0.001). In normal corneas, both tonometer measurements were directly related to CCT values; iCare readings appeared inversely related to CC. There was no significant relationship between IOP and CCT, CC and CA in post-keratoplasty eyes, except between CC and iCare measurements for PK eyes.Conclusions
The agreement between GAT and iCare was clinically acceptable in control, ALTK and DSAEK groups, and poor in PK and edematous grafts eyes. In normal corneas, GAT was significantly affected by CCT; iCare was influenced by CCT and CC. The iCare appeared less influenced by corneal edema when compared with GAT. High IOP readings taken with both tonometers in grafts should raise suspicion of true elevated IOP. 相似文献19.
Aim
To assess the prevalence of retrodots and vacuoles and their associations with the prevalence and long-term incidence of age-related cataract in an older Australian cohort.Methods
Of 3654 baseline participants of the Blue Mountains Eye Study aged 49+ years (1992–1994), 2335 and 1952 were re-examined after 5 and 10 years, respectively. Lens photographs were graded for cataract, retrodots, and vacuoles. Eye-specific data were used to assess the associations between retrodots or vacuoles at baseline and the prevalence and 10-year incidence of nuclear, cortical, and posterior subcapsular (PSC) cataract and cataract surgery.Results
At baseline, retrodots were present in 142 persons (4%) and vacuoles in 1333 persons (40%). Prevalence of both lens features increased with increasing age (Pfor trend <0.0001). After adjusting for age and gender, vacuoles were associated with prevalent PSC cataract at baseline (odds ratio (OR), 1.60, 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.25–2.05). After adjusting for age, gender, smoking, hypertension, diabetes, education, and use of inhaled/oral steroids, baseline retrodots were associated with an increased incidence of cataract surgery (OR 2.90, 95% CI 1.71–4.91), while 3+ vacuoles at baseline were associated with an increased risk of PSC cataract (OR 3.56, 95% CI 2.13–5.95) and cataract surgery (OR 1.84, 95% CI 1.22–2.77).Discussion
Lens retrodots and vacuoles were found to be positively associated with 10-year incidence of cataract surgery, and vacuoles associated with PSC cataract, a finding suggestive of shared risk factors or pathogenesis between these two lens features and the development of PSC cataract. 相似文献20.
