ABSTRACT

La violeta de genciana es un colorante orgánico sintético, descrito por primera vez por Charles Lauth en 1861. Tiene propiedades antibacterianas, antifúngicas, antihelmínticas, antitripanosómicas, antiantiogénicas y antitumorales. Tiene diversos mecanismos de acción, entre los que principalmente se encuentra bloquear la actividad de las nicotinamida adenina dinucleótido fosfato oxidasas, evitando la generación de radicales superoxidativos y la posterior inflamación. En los últimos años se ha utilizado en marcadores para procedimientos en diferentes especialidades médicas, incluidos los de oftalmología. La tinta de violeta de genciana se describe por el fabricante como no tóxica, sin embargo existe evidencia clínica y experimental que sugiere que puede ser tóxica para el endotelio corneal y puede llegar a generar queratitis lamelar difusa posterior a LASIK y Femto-LASIK. Se describe el caso de una paciente de 23 años de edad, que presentó diversas patologías en la córnea después del uso de marcador quirúrgico durante procedimiento refractivo Femto-LASIK.


Gentian violet is a synthetic and organic dye. First described by Charles Lauth in 1861. It has antibacterial, antifungal, anthelmintic, antitrypanosomal, antiangiogenic, and antitumoral properties. It has various mechanisms of action, among which is mainly blocking the activity of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate oxidases, preventing the generation of superoxidative radicals and subsequent inflammation. In recent years, it has been used as markers for procedures in different medical specialties, including ophthalmology. Gentian violet ink is described by the manufacturer as non-toxic, however, there is clinical and experimental evidence suggesting that it may be toxic to the corneal endothelium and may cause diffuse lamellar keratitis after LASIK and Femto-LASIK. The case about a 23-year-old female patient who presented various pathologies in the cornea after the use of a surgical marker during the Femto-LASIK refractive procedure is described.

ABSTRACT

Purpose: To determine the predictability of postoperative ocular spherical aberration (Z 4,0) based on postoperative corneal asphericity (Q value) in patients with myopic astigmatism. Design: Case series, retrospective. Methods: Wavefront-guided laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) was performed in 40 eyes of 23 patients using the Schwind Esiris Excimer Laser. Patients were evaluated preoperatively and 3 months postoperatively. Spherical aberration was measured with a COAS Shack-Hartmann wavefront sensor, and determined for a 6 mm analysis diameter zone. Corneal asphericity was measured with the Orbscan II topographer. Correlation and linear regression analysis was performed. A P value less than 0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results: Treated eyes had a mean manifest spherical error of ­2.98 + 1.36 Diopters (D), and a mean manifest astigmatic error of 0.52 + 0.46 D. The mean Q was -0.30 + 0.13 preoperatively and +0.03 + 0.22 postoperatively. The mean spherical aberration was 0.054 + 0.109 microns preoperatively and 0.262 + 0.135 microns postoperatively. We found a positive statistically signifi cant correlation between postoperative Q value and postoperative spherical aberration (r=0.367) (P=0.02). The postoperative Q value showed a low correlation with postoperative spherical aberration (R2=0.14). Conclusions: There was an increase in corneal asphericity and spherical aberration after surgery. Postoperative corneal asphericity is mildly associated with postoperative spherical aberration. Predictability of postoperative spherical aberration in terms of correlation with postoperative Q value was poor, suggesting that corneal asphericity is not a major predictor of spherical aberration induction.

ABSTRACT

Objetivo: describir la Función de Sensibilidad al Contraste (FSC) en pacientes con miopía, astigmatismo miópico, hipermetropía y astigmatismo hipermetrópico. Diseño del estudio: serie de casos, descriptivo. Métodos: se incluyeron sujetos con miopía, astigmatismo miópico, hipermetropía y astigmatismo hipermetrópico, candidatos para cirugía refractiva y evaluados en la Unidad de Cirugía Refractiva de la Clínica de Oftalmología de Cali, con agudeza visual mejor corregida (AVMC) >=20/20, menores de 50 años de edad y sin antecedente de cirugía refractiva. La función sensibilidad al contraste se midió con el sistema OPTEC® 6500 (Stereo Optical Co, Inc., Chicago, USA) en frecuencias espaciales de 1.5, 3.0, 6.0, 12 y 18 ciclos/grado en condiciones fotópicas (85 cd/m2) y mesópicas (3 cd/m2). Se aplicaron las prueba no paramétrica de Wilcoxon y de Mann-Whitney para comparar diferencias entre la FSC entre los grupos de miopía/astigmatismo miópico e hipermetropía/astigmatismo hipermetrópico en las diferentes frecuencias espaciales. Resultados: se incluyeron 188 ojos de 95 sujetos con miopía y astigmatismo miópico (promedio de edad = 30,6 ± 7,6 años, 51% hombres) y 121 ojos de 64 sujetos con hipermetropía y astigmatismo hipermetrópico (promedio de edad = 43 ± 6,1 años, 62 % mujeres). La sensibilidad al contraste en los pacientes de ambos grupos fue mayor significativamente en condiciones fotópicas que en condiciones mesópicas, excepto en la frecuencia espacial de 3 ciclos/grado del grupo de miopía/astigmatismo miópico. Se encontró diferencia estadísticamente significativa del valor de la FSC entre los grupos de miopía/astigmatismo miópico e hipermetropía/astigmatismo hipermetrópico en condiciones fotópicas en casi todas las frecuencias espaciales, excepto en 3 ciclos/grado y en condiciones mesópicas en las frecuencias espaciales de 1.5, 3 y 6 ciclos/grado. Conclusiones: los valores de FSC son mayores en el grupo de pacientes con miopía y astigmatismo miópico que en los del grupo de hipermetropía y astigmatismo hipermetrópico. Estos valores podrían usarse como referencia en estos grupos de pacientes en nuestra población.


Purpose: to describe the contrast sensitivity function (CSF) in patients with myopia, hyperopia and astigmatism. Study design: descriptive case series study. Methods: subjects with myopia/myopic astigmatism and with hyperopia/hyperopic astigmatism looking for refractive surgery, and evaluated at the Unit of Refractive Surgery in the Clínica de Oftalmología de Cali were included. Their Best Spectacle Corrected Visual Acuity (BSCVA) was >=20/20, age less than 50 years and no previous refractive surgery. The CSF was measured using the OPTEC® 6500 (Stereo Optical Co, Inc, Chicago, USA) system for spatial frequencies 1.5, 3.0, 6.0, 12 and 18 cycles/degree in photopic (85 cd/m2) and mesopic (3 cd/m2) conditions. Statistical analysis was done using the Wilcoxon and Mann-Whitney tests for non-parametric samples, comparing the myopia/myopic astigmatism and the hyperopia /hyperopic astigmatism groups. Results: 188 eyes of 95 subjects with myopia/myopic astigmatism (age = 30,6 ± 7.6 years, 51% men) and 121 eyes of 64 subjects with hyperopia/hyperopic astigmatism (age = 43± 6.1 years, 62% women) were analyzed. The CSF was higher in both groups in photopic conditions except in 3 cycles per degree in myopia/myopic astigmatism group. Significant differences in the CSF were found between the two groups in photopic conditions excluding the 3 cycles per degree. In mesopic conditions diff erences were found for the spatial frequencies 1.5, 3 and 6 cycles per degree. Conclusions: The patients of the myopia/myopic astigmatism group had a contrast sensitivity function higher than those of hyperopia/hyperopic astigmatism group. These values could be used as reference for these patients in our population.
