ABSTRACT
AIM:To observe the changes in corneal aberrations and the characteristics of visual quality after transepithelial photorefractive keratectomy(T-PRK)and femtosecond small incision lenticule extraction(SMILE)in the correction of low myopia.METHODS: Prospective cohort study. A total of 32 cases(32 eyes)with low myopia who underwent T-PRK surgery and 45 cases(45 eyes)of SMILE surgery at Weifang Eye Hospital from April 2021 to April 2022 were selected. The uncorrected visual acuity(UCVA), best corrected visual acuity(BCVA), spherical equivalent(SE), corneal higher-order aberrations(HOAs)and objective visual quality were compared between the two groups.RESULTS:All patients completed the surgery successfully without complications such as infection. At 3mo postoperatively, the safety index was 1.13±0.16 and 1.16±0.17(P=0.48)and the efficacy index was 1.10±0.20 and 1.15±0.18(P=0.27)in the T-PRK and SMILE groups, respectively. The percentage of UCVA(LogMAR)≤0 in the T-PRK and SMILE groups was 94% and 98%, respectively. The percentage of the residual SE within ±0.5D was 88% and 87% in the two groups, respectively. The HOAs and spherical aberration in both groups were significantly increased(P≤0.01), and the increase was not statistically significant between the two groups(P=0.31, 0.89). There was no significant change in horizontal coma, horizontal trefoil and vertical trefoil in both groups(P>0.05). The vertical coma in SMILE group was significantly increased(P<0.001), while there was no significant change in T-PRK group(P>0.05), and the increase was significantly greater in SMILE group than in T-PRK group(P<0.001). There was no significant difference in objective scattering index(OSI), modulation transfer function cut off frequency(MTFcut off), Strehl ratio(SR), visual acuity(VA)100%, VA20% and VA9% between the two groups(P>0.05).CONCLUSION:Both T-PRK and SMILE showed good safety, efficacy, and visual quality in correcting low myopia, while SMILE induced more vertical coma than T-PRK.
ABSTRACT
AIM: To investigate the short-term visual quality outcomes after femtosecond laser small incision lenticule extraction(SMILE)and evolution implantable collamer lens(EVO-ICL)implantation for the correction of moderate myopia.METHODS: Prospective control study. A total of 51 cases(51 eyes)with moderate myopia who underwent SMILE or EVO-ICL implantation surgery at Weifang Eye Hospital from April 2021 to February 2022 were selected. They were divided into SMILE group(30 patients, 30 eyes)and EVO-ICL group(21 patients, 21 eyes)according to the surgical methods. The changes of visual acuity [uncorrected distance visual acuity(UDVA), corrected distance visual acuity(CDVA)], diopter [spherical equivalent(SE)] and related parameters of optical quality analysis system(OQAS Ⅱ)were observed before surgery and at 1wk, 1 and 3mo after surgery, and the quality of vision(QoV)questionnaire was completed.RESULTS: At 3mo after surgery, the safety index(postoperative CDVA/preoperative CDVA)of SMILE gruop and EVO-ICL group were 1.20(1.00, 1.20)and 1.20(1.00, 1.38), respectively, the efficacy index(postoperative UDVA/preoperative CDVA)were 1.00(1.00, 1.20)and 1.00(1.00, 1.20), respectively, and the percentage of SE within ±0.50D was 87% and 100%, respectively. In SMILE group, the objective scattering index(OSI)was increased after surgery, while modulation transfer function cutoff frequency(MTF cutoff), contrast visual acuity(VA)100%, and VA20% at 1wk and 1mo after surgery, and Strehl ratio(SR)and VA9% at each time point after surgery were all decreased compared with those before surgery(all P<0.05). The OSI, MTF cutoff, SR and VA of EVO-ICL group showed no difference at each time point after surgery compared with those before surgery(all P>0.05). The most common visual symptoms after SMILE and EVO-ICL implantation were visual haze and halos, respectively.CONCLUSION: Both SMILE and EVO-ICL implantation have good safety, efficacy and predictability in the short term after the correction of moderate myopia. Both groups had visual symptoms after surgery, but the overall satisfaction of patients was high. Furthermore, EVO-ICL implantation has better objective visual quality performance.
ABSTRACT
Purpose: The present study was performed to compare the optical quality of the eyes of myopic children before and after treatment with atropine eye drops of different concentrations. Methods: In the study population of 71 patients (131 eyes), 34 patients (63 eyes) were given 0.01% atropine eye drops and 37 patients (68 eyes) were given 0.05% atropine eye drops. The modulation transfer function (MTF) cutoff frequency, Strehl ratio, objective scattering index (OSI), and predicted visual acuities (PVAs 100%, 20%, and 9%) under different lighting conditions were measured before and after two weeks of atropine treatment. Results: After using 0.05% atropine eye drops for two weeks, the Strehl ratio decreased from 0.27 ± 0.07 to 0.23 ± 0.07 (P = 0.0026), PVA 20% decreased from 1.15 ± 0.32 to 1.03 ± 0.36 (P = 0.0344), and PVA 9% decreased from 0.74 ± 0.23 to 0.64 ± 0.23 (P = 0.0073). The OSI was significantly higher after using 0.05% than 0.01% atropine eye drops (P = 0.0396), while both the Strehl ratio and PVA 20% were lower after using 0.05% than 0.01% atropine eye drops (P = 0.0087 and P = 0.0492, respectively). Conclusion: The children’s optical quality did not change significantly after using 0.01% atropine eye drops, whereas it decreased after using 0.05% atropine eye drops.
ABSTRACT
@#AIM:To evaluate optical quality, intraocular scatter, and determine the impact of retinopathy on optical quality in macular edema(ME)patient by using the Optical Quality Analysis System(OQAS<sup>TM</sup>Ⅱ).<p>METHODS: This was a prospective case-control study. Fifty-eight eyes of 49 macular edema patients who were confirmed by ophthalmic examination in our hospital from August 2019 to January 2020 were selected as the ME group, and 30 eyes of 30 healthy volunteers who were matched with gender and age range for the study were selected for the normal control group. The clinical data of the two groups of patients were recorded. Under the same test conditions, the same operator used OQAS<sup>TM</sup>Ⅱ to check the visual quality of the study object, including the cutoff of the modulation transfer function(MTF cutoff), strehl ratio(SR), OQAS<sup>TM</sup>Ⅱ values(100%, 20%, 9%)and contrast levels(OV100%, OV20%, OV9%). The difference of data between the two groups were analyzed, and the correlation between the visual quality and the thickness and volume of the macular fovea in the ME group were analyzed.<p>RESULTS: The average best corrected visual acuity in the macular edema group was significantly lower than the control group, and the thickness and volume of macular fovea were significantly higher than the control group(<i>P</i><0.001). Compared with the control group, the OSI of the macular edema group was significantly higher, and MTF cutoff, SR value, OV(100%, 20%, 9%)significantly decreased(<i>P</i><0.001). In the macular disease group, the thickness of macular fovea was positively correlated with OSI(<i>r</i>=0.566, <i>P</i><0.001), while MTF cutoff(<i>r</i>=-0.336, <i>P</i>=0.010), OV100%(<i>r</i>=-0.326, <i>P</i>=0.013), OV20%(<i>r</i>=-0.349, <i>P</i>=0.007)and OV9%(<i>r</i>=-0.321, <i>P</i>=0.014)were negative correlation, but it had no correlation with SR. In the macular edema group, the volume of macular fovea was positively correlated with OSI(<i>r</i>=0.574, <i>P</i><0.001). It was negatively correlated with MTF cutoff(<i>r</i>=-0.367, <i>P</i>=0.005), SR(<i>r</i>=-0.265, <i>P</i>=0.045), OV100%(<i>r</i>=-0.351, <i>P</i>=0.007), OV20%(<i>r</i>=-0.385, <i>P</i>=0.003)and OV9%(<i>r</i>=-0.375, <i>P</i>=0.004).<p>CONCLUSION: The optical quality of patients with macular edema is lower than the normal population, and the changes in macular retina morphology and thickness could affect the optical quality and intraocular scattering. The optical quality parameters measured by OQAS<sup>TM</sup>Ⅱ may provide new clinical reference for macular function evaluation.
ABSTRACT
@#AIM: To assess the accuracy of optical quality analysis system Ⅱ(OQAS Ⅱ)in predicting postoperative visual acuity of cataract patients.<p>METHODS: Prospective study, patients underwent cataract surgery in Daping Hospital from June 2019 to November 2019 were recruited. According to predicted visual acuity 100%(PVA100%)and best corrected visual acuity(BCVA), patients were dichotomized into group A(PVA100% worse than BCVA, 145 eyes)and group B(PVA100% equal to or better than BCVA, 114 eyes). Visual acuity improvement was compared between the two groups 1mo after surgery.<p>RESULTS: In group A, visual acuity of 112 eyes(77.2%)improved at least 2 lines. While in group B, 93 eyes(81.6%)improved at least 2 lines. There was no significant difference in visual acuity improvement ratio between the two groups(<i>P</i>=0.394). The average BCVA improvement of group A was 0.3(0.2, 0.4)LogMAR, and that of group B was 0.4(0.2, 0.5)LogMAR, revealed statistically significant differences(<i>P</i>=0.001). No significant correlation was found between preoperative PVA100% and postoperative BCVA in both of the two groups(<i>P</i>=0.888,0.304). In patients combined with preoperative ocular comorbidity, 17 eyes(94.4%)in group A and 26 eyes(65.0%)in group B improved at least 2 lines with significant difference between the two groups(<i>P</i>=0.041). BCVA improved 0.3(0.2, 0.4)LogMAR in group A and 0.3(0.1, 0.5)LogMAR in group B, there was no significant difference between the two groups(<i>P</i>=0.597).<p>CONCLUSION: The binary classification method based on the value of preoperative PVA100% and BCVA failed to accurately predict who shall benefit more from cataract surgery. In patients diagnosed with preoperative ocular comorbidity, BCVA is likely to be significantly improved if preoperative PVA100% were worse than BCVA. More data are needed to determine the clinical value of PVA100%.
ABSTRACT
@#AIM: To compare the visual quality and visual related quality of life in cataract patients after implantation of diffractive aspheric bifocal IOL and single focus aspheric IOL. <p>METHODS: Retrospective non-randomized study was implemented. In clinical application 110 patients(176 eyes)underwent phacoemulsification combined with IOL from October 2016 to December 2017. In details, 56 cases(82 eyes)with diffractive aspheric bifocal IOL(ZEISS AT LISE 809M)and 54 cases(94 eyes)with single focus aspheric IOL(ZEISS CTA 603P), respectively. Three months after surgeries, the main evaluation indices were successively collected, which included visual, the optical quality analysis system(OQAS)of the MTF cutoff, the Strehl ratio, the OSI, the 100% visual acuity(VA), the 20% VA and the 9% VA, as well as the visual function related quality of life scale(NEI-VFQ-25).<p>RESULTS: 1)VA: there was no significant difference in the corrected distance visual acuity(CDVA)between the two groups(<i>P</i>>0.05). However, there existed significant difference in the near vision(<i>P</i><0.05); 2)Objective quality visual analysis(OQAS): there was significant difference in the OSI. Regarding the visual acuity of simulated contrast sensitivity between two groups, the 20% VA and 9% VA expressed significant difference(<i>P</i><0.01); 3)NEI-VFQ-25 questionnaire: there were no significant differences in overall health, general vision, eye pain, distant vision, peripheral vision, social function, color vision, dependence and mental health between the two groups(<i>P</i>=0.88, 0.08, 0.60, 0.36, 0.80, 0.18, 0.41, 0.07, 0.95). But there was significant difference in near vision and social role limitation between the two groups(<i>P</i><0.05).<p>CONCLUSION: The 809M intraocular lenses and the 603P intraocular lenses can improve the optical quality of patients after the surgeries. The former one can provide better near vision, but the OSI was higher than the latter one, which may cause some visual interference. There was no significant difference in visual related quality of life after the surgeries generally.
ABSTRACT
@#AIM: To compare the objective optical quality of high myopic patients between SMILE and V4c ICL implantation.<p>METHODS: This was a prospective control study. Thirty-eight patients underwent SMILE and thirty-two patients underwent V4c ICL implantation with high myopia were chosen for this study. Uncorrected visual acuity(UCVA), best corrected visual acuity(BCVA)and refractive situation were evaluated preoperatively, at 1wk, 1mo, 3mo and 6mo postoperatively. The objective scattering index(OSI), strehl rate(SR)and modulation transfer function(MTF)cut off frequency were measured by the double-pass optical quality system at the same time.<p>RESULTS: No significant difference of spherical equivalent(SE), UCVA and BCVA was found between SMILE group and V4c ICL implantation group at all time points. At 1wk and 1mo after operation, the OSI values of two groups were significantly higher than pre-operation(<i>P</i><0.01). OSI values of two groups returned to baseline at 3mo after operation. The MTF cut off frequency of both groups decreased significantly at 1wk after operation(<i>P</i><0.05)and recovered to baseline at 1mo after operation, no significant difference was found between two group at all time points(<i>P</i>>0.05).<p>CONCLUSION: Both SMILE and V4c ICL implantation can obtain good visual acuity and objective optical quality.
ABSTRACT
@#AIM: To analyze changes in objective visual quality before and after femtosecond laser <i>in situ</i> keratomileusis(FS-LASIK)and smart pulse technology-assisted transepithelial photorefractive keratectomy(SMART).<p>METHODS: Prospective study. We collected 50 cases(100 eyes)treated with FS-LASIK(FS-LASIK group)and another 50 cases(100 eyes)treated with SMART(SMART group)from the Ophthalmology Department of our hospital between October 2018 and December 2018 using Optical Quality Analysis System(OQAS)to measure objective scatter index(OSI), modulation transfer function cut off frequency(MTF cut off), strehl ratio(SR)before and after surgery.<p>RESULTS: In the FS-LASIK and SMART groups, the OSI values were higher in the 1 and 3mo after surgery, whereas the MTF cut off and SR were lower in the 1 and 3mo after surgery(<i>P</i><0.05). There was no statistical difference between the two groups in the objective visual quality index before and after 1mo(<i>P</i>>0.05). However, after 3mo, the OSI value of the FS-LASIK group was higher than the SMART group(0.88±0.28 <i>vs</i> 0.70±0.27, <i>P</i><0.001), whereas the SR was lower than SMART group(0.21±0.05 <i>vs</i> 0.24±0.05, <i>P</i>=0.002).<p>CONCLUSION: Both FS-LASIK and SMART caused an increase in the intraocular scattering index and a decrease in objective visual quality. However, the visual quality of the SMART group was generally better than that of the FS-LASIK group, and long-term visual quality was more dominant.
ABSTRACT
Purpose: To evaluate the optical quality and tear-film dynamics in patients with aqueous-deficient or evaporative subtype of dry eye disease (DED). Methods: Twenty-five aqueous-deficient dry eye (ADDE) patients, 25 DED patients with meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD), and 25 healthy subjects were included in this study. Vision-related health-targeted quality of life was evaluated using the Ocular Surface Disease Index (OSDI) questionnaire. Dynamic recording with a double-pass system (Optical Quality Analysis System [OQAS]) was performed in right eyes. Scattered light was measured as the objective scatter index (OSI) at 0.5-second intervals over 20 seconds without blinking. Then, we recorded OSI every 0.5 seconds within a 20-second period with the subjects asked to blink freely. Several parameters were established to evaluate the dynamic alterations of optical quality and the effects of blinks: OSI, OSI standard deviation (SD), ?OSI, ?OSI/time, blinking change (BC), and blinking frequency (BF). Additional clinical examination included tear film break-up time (BUT), Schirmer I test (SIT), fluorescein staining grade (FL), meibomian gland quality, meibomian gland expressibility, and meibomian gland drop-out. Results: The OSI, SD, ?OSI, ?OSI/time, BC, and BF were significantly higher in DED patients than controls (P < 0.01, respectively). The OSI, SD, ?OSI, ?OSI/time, BC, and BF were significantly higher in patients with MGD than patients with ADDE (P < 0.01). In the MGD group, BUT, FL staining score, lid abnormality, meibomian gland expressibility, and meibomian gland drop-out were correlated with ? OSI and ? OSI/time. Conclusion: Dry eye patients with MGD had significant alterations of optical quality compared with ADDE patients. The double-pass system has potential to be a useful quantitative method to evaluate the optical quality and tear-film dynamics in patients with dry eye.

Moreover, significantly higher values of OSI \〖2.52(2.35, 3.86)<i>vs</i> 1.89(1.39, 2.28)\〗 and pseudophakic accommodation(2.47±0.88D <i>vs</i> 1.25±0.70D)were found in SBL-3 group. Significantly lower values of MTF-cut/off, SR, OV 100%, OV 20% and OV 9% were found in SBL-3 group(<i>P</i><0.01).<p>CONCLUSION: Both SBL-3 and SN6AD1 MIOL could provide patients with good subjective visual quality, but OQAS could find the differences in visual quality after implantation of different MIOLs objectively.
ABSTRACT
@#AIM: To evaluate the early postoperative efficacy of SMART for myopia and compare it with TransPRK.<p>METHODS: Retrospective non-randomized controlled study. Totally 120 eyes of 60 patients with myopia who underwent SMART and TransPRK in our hospital from January to August 2018 were selected respectively. The uncorrected visual acuity(UCVA), visual quality, pain score, corneal epithelial healing and subepithelial haze were compared between two groups.<p>RESULTS: There was no statistical differences between two groups regarding the proportion of UCVA reaching or exceeding 1.0 at 5d, 1mo and 3mo after operation(<i>P</i>>0.05), but the visual quality of SMART group was better than that of TransPRK group at 5d after operation(<i>P</i><0.05), and with the prolongation of time, the visual quality of the two groups gradually improved. There was a significant difference in pain scores between the TransPRK group and SMART group(3.56±0.96 <i>vs</i> 3.07±1.07; 1.22±0.61 <i>vs</i> 0.84±0.59)on the 1st day and 3rd day after operation(<i>P</i><0.01). 5d after operation, the complete recovery rate of corneal in TransPRK group was lower than that in SMART group(69.2% <i>vs</i> 83.3%, <i>P</i><0.05). At 1st and 3 mo after operation, there was no difference in haze between the two groups(5.0% <i>vs</i> 5.0% and 8.3% <i>vs</i> 10.0%; <i>P</i>>0.05).<p>CONCLUSION: There is no significant difference between SMART and TransPRK in the speed and stability of visual acuity recovery, but the early postoperative pain of SMART is lighter, the corneal epithelium is healed faster, and the visual quality is better.

ABSTRACT
@#AIM: To evaluate the effects of femtosecond laser <i>in situ</i> keratomileusis(FS-LASIK)on visual quality of myopia with different refractive degrees using the Optical Quality Analysis System(OQAS).<p>METHODS: A total of 65 myopic patients(130 eyes)who received FS-LASIK were collected, which were divided into three groups of low, medium and high myopia. The changes of visual quality parameters before and after surgery were compared by OQAS system.<p>RESULTS:The values of OV100% and MTF cutoff in the low myopia group at 10d after surgery were higher than those in the high myopia group, and the values of OV20% and OV9% were higher than those in the medium and high myopia group(all <i>P</i><0.017). At 1d after surgery in low myopia group and at 1d, 10d and 30d after surgery in medium and high myopia group had significantly higher OSI and Mean OSI, while MTF cutoff, SR, OV100%, OV20% and OV9% were significantly lower than those before surgery(all <i>P</i><0.0083). Mean OSI was negatively correlated with OV100%, OV20%, OV9%, SR, MTF cutoff and positively correlated with OSI(all <i>P</i><0.05).<p>CONCLUSION:Optical quality decreases in the early period after FS-LASIK for correction of distinct refractive errors, and the visual quality recovery after the operation of low myopia is faster than that of medium and high myopia. The changes of tear film function and visual quality after FS-LASIK were consistent.
ABSTRACT
Purpose: To study the time course of interface healing and its correlation with visual acuity, modulation transfer function (MTF), and aberrations after myopic small-incision lenticule extraction (SMILE) correction. Methods: Seventy-eight eyes of 78 patients (1 eye per patient) with a mean age of 25.7 years and mean spherical equivalent (SE) of ?3.74D, undergoing bilateral SMILE procedure, were included in this study. On postoperative day 1, 2 weeks, and 3 months, dilated retroillumination photographs were taken and morphology of corneal interface was graded by comparing them with 5 standard templates representing 5 grades of interface roughness (IRG): IRG � 0 (clear), IRG � 1 (mild), IRG � 2 (moderate), IRG � 3 (severe), and IRG � 4 (severe IRG with Bowman's folds in visual axis). Pearson's correlations were computed to study correlation associations, and Wilcoxon signed-rank test was used for intragroup comparison of means. P ? 0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results: At 3 months, 90.70% eyes were Grade 0 while 9.30% eyes still had Grade 2 interface granularity. Mean IRG significantly improved from 2.47 � 0.57 at day 1 to 0.62 � 0.53 at 3 months (P = 0.00). At day 1, pre-SE showed a significant positive correlation with IRG; however, mean postoperative corrected distant visual acuity (CDVA, in decimal), corneal Strehl ratio (SR), and MTF showed weak but significant negative correlation with IRG (r2 = 0.28 for SE, ?0.052 for CDVA, ?0.017 for SR, and ?0.39 for MTF, respectively, P < 0.05 for all correlations). At 2 weeks and 3 months, corneal MTF continued to show a significant negative correlation, whereas other parameters did not show any correlation with IRG. Conclusion: Visual quality and corneal MTF may be significantly affected by the IRG in the immediate postoperative period after SMILE and may take 3 months or more for complete recovery.
ABSTRACT

Methods: The documents of 93 patients with high myopia complicated with cataract were collected in the retrospective analysis. And all of patients received ultrasonic emulsification and intraocular lens implantation. And then the visual situation and the changes of PSF, OSI, MTF, MTFcutoff, SR, OV100%, OV20%and OV9%were evaluated by using double-pass OQAS at three points included pre-operation, 1week of post-operation and 1month of post-operation. Results: After treatment, the visual situation of patients were significantly improved, and the differences of visual situations among pre-operation, 1 week of post-operation and 1 month of post operation were significant (F=6.831, P<0.05). And the differences of OSI, PSF and OV9%between the before and after treatment were significant (F=6.732, F=9.102, F=5.029, P<0.05), respectively. While the differences of MTFcutoff, SR, OV100%and OV20% between the two groups were no significant. Under the conditions of 5 cpd and 10 cpd of MTF, the differences of MTF among pre-operation, 1 week post operation and 1month post operation were significant (F=8.029, F=4.039, P<0.05), respectively. Besides, at 1 week post-operation and 1month post-operation, the differences among 5cpd, 10cpd and 15cpd were significant(F=7.829, F=6.921, P<0.05), respectively. Conclusion: After the patients with high myopia complicated with cataract receive intraocular lens implantation of ultrasonic emulsification, the visual analysis system of dual channel can preferably evaluate the visual quality of patients, and can objectively reflect aberration, scattering and diffraction, etc. Therefore, it is worthy to be popularized and applied.

Objective This study was to study the effect of 0.1％ and 0.3％ sodium hyaluronic ophthalmic solution on tear film stability and visual quality of dry eye patients after femtosecond laser-assisted laser in situ keratomileusis (FS-LASIK).Methods A prospective randomly controlled study was designed.Pre-surgery normal patients were evaluated again at 1 week after FS-LASIK,60 mild and severe dry eye patients were enrolled from April 2016 to April 2017 in Tianjin Medical University Eye Hospital.Then 0.1％ and 0.3％ sodium hyaluronate were randomly given in each dry eye group.Ocular surface disease index (OSDI),optical quality analysis system Ⅱ(OQAS Ⅱ),Keratography 5M and corneal staining were performed before operation,1 week (before instillation and 15,30,60,120 and 180 minutes after instillation),1 month and 3 months after operation.This study was approved by the Ethic Committee of Tianjin Medical University Eye Hospital (2015KY-04).Informed consent was obtained from all subjects after explanation of the nature and possible consequence of the study.Results The 0.3％ sodium hyaluronate group was better than 0.1％ sodium hyaluronate group in alleviating OSDI score and cornea staining at 3 months in the mild dry eye group (Fgroup =10.913,P =0.003;P =0.027).Compared with the before operation,the objective scatter index(OSI) was increased at 1 week before instillation and many different time points after instillation in both 0.1％ sodium hyaluronate group and 0.3％ sodium hyaluronate group,with significant differences between them (all at P＜0.05),there was no statistically significant difference in OSI at 1 month and 3 months after surgery compared with before surgery in both 0.1％ and 0.3％ sodium hyaluronatc group.In 0.1％ sodium hyaluronic group and 0.3％ sodium hyaluronic group,the mean value of total OSI at 1 week after surgery were siginifcantly higher than that before surgery (P=0.046,0.060).In 0.1％ sodium hyaluronate group,the mean values of total OSI at various time points after instillation were not statistically different from that before surgery (all at P＞0.05),total OSI at 1 month and 3 months after operation were higher than that before surgery (P =0.047,0.017);In 0.3％ sodium hyaluronic group,the mean value of total OSI at 15,30,60 and 120 minutes after instillation were significantly higher than that before surgery (all at P＜0.05),and compared with the total OSI before surgery,no statistical differences were found at 1 month and 3 months after operation (P =0.046,0.667).Significant differences were found in NIBUT avg among different time points in the mild dry eye patients (Ftime =2.290,P =0.022).In 0.1％ sodium hyaluronic group and 0.3％ sodium hyaluronic group,the NIBUT avg at 1 week after surgery were significantly lower than that before operation (both at P＜0.05).Compared with the before operation,no significant differences were found at the following 3 hours after instillation in 0.1％ sodium hyaluronic group (all at P＞0.05).In 0.3％ sodium hyaluronic group,the NIBUT avg at 60,120 and 180 minutes after instillation were significantly lower than that before surgery (P=0.040,0.047,0.041),and NIBUT avg at 3 months after operation was significantly lower than that before surgery (P =0.044).Conclusions The 0.3％ sodium hyaluronic is better than 0.1％ sodium hyaluronic in alleviating the OSDI score and cornea staining on the mild dry eye post FS-LASIK,and the tear film stability and related visual quality fluctuated over time after the application of 0.3％ sodium hyaluronic.
ABSTRACT
Objective To compare the vision and visual quality after implantation of refractive rotationally asymmetric mutifocal IOL (SBL-3) and diffractive mutifocal IOL (Zeiss809) in cataract surgery.Methods Totally 80 patients (100 eyes) who underwent cataract surgery in our hospital from May 2016 to June 2017 were chosen in the research,followed by the implantation of SBL-3 in 39 patients (50 eyes,SBL group) and Zeiss809 in other 41 patients (50 eyes,Zeiss group).The gender,age,length of optic axis and corneal curvature between the both groups were not significantly different (all P ＞ 0.05) before surgery.Variables including far,middle and near uncorrected vision acuity,defocus curves,vision quality were observed 3 months after surgery.Objective scattering index (OSI),modulation transfer function cutoff frequency(MTFcutoff) and Strehl ratio (SR) were detected,and objective optical quality analysis system was conducted.Results Both groups has no ocular hypertension and complications after surgery.The far uncorrected vision acuity of both groups in 3 months after surgery showed significant statistic difference from preoperation (both P ＜ 0.01).There has no statistic difference between both groups in far and near uncorrected vision acuity 3 months after surgery (both P ＞0.05).SBL group showed better outcomes than that in Zeiss group in the middle uncorrected vision acuity 3 months after surgery (P =0.04).Defocus curves showed the better middle uncorrected vision acuity in SBL group than that in Zeiss group when the degree was-1.50 D (70 cm).The OSI,MTFcutoff and SR in both groups significantly improved after surgery when compared with before surgery (all P ＜0.05).And the OSI,MTFcutoff and SR 3 months after surgery had no statistic difference between the two groups (all P ＞ 0.05).Questionnaire results showed there were 3 patients in SBL group and 4 in Zeiss group complaining glare at night,and there was no statistic difference between the two groups (P ＞ 0.05).Conclusion Both refractive rotationally asymmetric mutifocal IOL and diffractive multifocal IOL shows satisfactory vision acuity after cataract surgery.Significant improvement of vision quality in both groups can be presented after IOL implantation.
ABSTRACT
Objective To determine the parameters of corneal surface shape and optical quality that affect the results of trial fitting in overnight orthokeratology (OK lenses) in adolescents with myopia.Methods Thirty-eight subjects (67 eyes) who met the inclusion criteria were enrolled in this study.The parameters of corneal surface shape including surface regularity index (SRI),surface asymmetry index (SAI),and Q value were assessed with a corneal topographer before beginning orthokemtology.The Strehl ratio (SR) and the root-mean-square (RMS) of the total higherorder aberrations in a 4-mm pupil were measured before the trial fitting.Participants who had tried orthokeratology were divided into two groups according to the success or failure of trial fitting.Then,we compared the differences in the comeal surface shape and optical quality between the two groups.Results There were 45 eyes in the success group,and 22 eyes in the failure group.There were no statistically significant differences for SRI (P =0.188),SAI (P =0.338),Q value (P =0.657),RMS (P =0.456),and SR (P =0.479) in the two groups.Conclusion The result of trial fitting in orthokemtology is not correlated with the parameters of comeal status and optical quality (SRI,SAI,Q value,RMS,SR).
