ABSTRACT

RESUMO Objetivo Identificar alterações de aberrometria de alta ordem em diferentes graus de ceratocone. Métodos Estudo transversal, retrospectivo, observacional. Foram analisados 54 pacientes (108 olhos) diagnosticados com ceratocone pelo mesmo especialista em córnea por meio dos critérios ABCD de Belin/Ambrósio Enhanced Ectasia, utilizando-se o tomógrafo Pentacam® HR 70900 (Oculus Wetzlar, Alemanha). Além disso, foram feitas análises qualitativa e quantitativa das aberrações de alta ordem desses mesmos pacientes por meio do OPD-Scan III-NIDEK. Resultados Por meio da avaliação de ambos os olhos dos pacientes com os critérios de Belin-Ambrósio, constatou-se presença de ceratocone em 34 pacientes. Ademais, por meio da análise estatística, constatou-se relação direta entre a asfericidade posterior e o desenvolvimento do ceratocone, com p<0,001 (referência: p<0,05). Por meio da análise do OPD-Scan III-NIDEK, as principais aberrações de alta ordem encontradas nos pacientes com ceratocone foram coma, trefoil e aberração esférica. Conclusão O raio da curvatura posterior é a primeira variável a se alterar com o desenvolvimento do ceratocone, o que se faz perceptível na análise da asfericidade posterior por meio o Pentacam®. Além disso, a alteração da paquimetria e da asfericidade posterior influencia diretamente o desenvolvimento de aberrações de alta ordem em pacientes com ceratocone.


ABSTRACT Objective To identify higher order aberrometry changes in different degrees of keratoconus. Methods Cross-sectional, retrospective, observational study. Fifty-four patients (108 eyes) diagnosed with keratoconus by the same corneal specialist using the Belin/Ambrósio Enhanced Ectasia ABCD criteria were analyzed, using the Pentacam® HR 70900 tomograph (Oculus Wetzlar, Germany). In addition, qualitative and quantitative analysis of higher order aberrations in these patients was performed using the OPD-Scan III-NIDEK. Results Through the evaluation of both eyes of the patients according to the criteria of Benin Ambrósio, the presence of KCN was verified in 34 patients. Furthermore, through statistical analysis, a direct relationship was found between posterior asphericity and the development of KCN; p<0.001 (reference: p<0.05). Through the analysis of the OPD scan, the main higher order aberrations found in patients with KCN were Coma, Trefoil and Spherical Aberration (AE). Conclusion The posterior curvature radius is the first variable to change with the development of the KCN, which is noticeable in the analysis of posterior asphericity in Pentacam. In addition, alterations in pachymetry and posterior asphericity directly influence the development of higher order aberrations in patients with KCN.

ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT Purpose: The aim of this study was to evaluate anterior segment parameters and corneal aberrations in patients with retinitis pigmentosa using Scheimpflug imaging and to compare the findings with those for healthy controls. Methods: This single-center, case-control study included patients diagnosed with retinitis pigmentosa who were followed up at the Department of Ophthalmology of Kayseri Training and Research Hospital between February and June 2018. Age- and sex-matched healthy individuals with no known ophthalmologic disease formed the control group. Both patients with retinitis pigmentosa and controls underwent comprehensive ophthalmic assessments, including the measurement of the best-corrected visual acuity calculation of the spherical equivalent, slit-lamp examination, stereoscopic fundus examination, computerized visual field test, and electroretinography. Topographic and aberrometric values were measured using Scheimpflug-based tomography. Results: This study was performed on 52 eyes of 26 patients with retinitis pigmentosa (14 men) and 52 eyes of 26 healthy controls (11 men). The average keratometry (K avg) values for the patient and control groups were similar (43.87 ± 2.23 versus 43.61 ± 1.68; p=0.546), but the maximum keratometry (K max) value was significantly higher in the patient group (45.85 ± 2.35 and 44.69 ± 1.86; p=0.015). Patients with retinitis pigmentosa had a significantly lower central corneal thickness (518.5 ± 42.3 versus 534.1 ± 24.5, respectively; p=0.042) and maximal corneal thickness (509.1 ± 50.5 versus 530.5 ± 24.1, respectively; p=0.015). Additionally, the iridocorneal angle for the patients was significantly lower (31.6 ± 9.2 versus 35.9 ± 7.7, p=0.025). The aberrometric findings indicated that patients with retinitis pigmentosa had significantly more higher-order aberrations than those in the healthy controls (0.794 ± 51 and 0.398 ± 08, respectively; p<0.001). Conclusions: The results of the present study demonstrated that patients with retinitis pigmentosa have different anterior segment parameters and corneal aberrations compared to healthy controls. These results should be supported by further studies.


RESUMO Objetivo: Este estudo visou avaliar parâmetros do segmento anterior e aberrações corneanas em pacientes com retinite pigmentosa através de imagens de Scheimpflug e comparar os achados com os de controles saudáveis. Métodos: Este foi um estudo caso-controle unicêntrico que incluiu pacientes com o diagnóstico de retinite pigmentosa em acompanhamento no Departamento de Oftalmologia do Hospital de Treinamento e Pesquisa de Kayseri, entre fevereiro e junho de 2018. Indivíduos saudáveis pareados por idade e sexo, sem nenhum conhecimento da doença oftalmológica formou o grupo controle. Ambos os pacientes com retinite pigmentosa quanto os controles foram submetidos a avaliações oftalmológicas abrangentes, incluindo a medição do cálculo da acuidade visual melhor corrigida, o cálculo do equivalente esférico, biomicroscopia, fundoscopia estereoscópica, campimetria computadorizada e eletrorretinografia. Os valores topográficos e de aberrometria foram medidos através de tomografia baseada no sistema Scheimpflug. Resultados: O estudo incluiu 52 olhos de 26 pacientes com retinite pigmentosa (14 homens) e 52 olhos de 26 controles saudáveis (11 homens). Os valores médios da ceratometria (K avg) para grupos dos pacientes e controle foram semelhantes (43,87 ± 2,23 versus 43,61 ± 1,68, p=0,546), mas o valor máximo da ceratometria (K max) foi significativamente maior no grupo de pacientes (45,85 ± 2,35 e 44,69 ± 1,86; p=0,015). Pacientes com retinite pigmentosa apresentaram uma espessura corneana central significativamente menor (518,5 ± 42,3 versus 534,1 ± 24,5, respectivamente; p=0,042) e espessura corneana máxima (509,1 ± 50,5 verus 530,5 ± 24,1, respectivamente; p=0,015). Além disso, o ângulo iridocorneano para os pacientes foi significativamente menor (31,6 ± 9,2 versus 35,9 ± 7,7; p=0,025). Os achados da aberrometria indicaram que os pacientes com retinite pigmentosa apresentaram significativamente mais aberrações de ordem superior em comparação com os controles saudáveis (respectivamente 0,794 ± 51 e 0,398 ± 08, respectivamente; p<0,001). Conclusões: Os resultados do presente estudo demonstraram que pacientes com retinite pigmentosa têm diferentes parâmetros do segmento anterior e aberrações corneanas em comparação com controles saudáveis. Estes resultados precisam ser confirmados por novos estudos.

La localización central del cono fue la más frecuente en esta muestra, donde predominaron los valores más elevados de los índices anteriores. Predominó la aberración de alto orden coma en cuanto al valor medio de raíz cuadrática media y la aberración esférica en el valor máximo. Conclusiones: El grupo de edades más representado según la muestra analizada es el de 20 a 39 años, con proporción similar de pacientes en uno y otro sexo. Predominan los pacientes con queratocono clínico por índice de severidad y con clasificación patológica según índice de predicción con correlación ascendente entre ambos índices. La localización central del cono es la más frecuente y es donde existen los valores más elevados de los índices anteriores. Predomina la aberración de alto orden coma en cuanto al valor medio de la raíz cuadrática media y la aberración esférica en el valor máximo de esta(AU)


ABSTRACT Objective: Determine the topoaberrometric characteristics of keratoconus. Methods: A cross-sectional observational descriptive study was conducted of 101 corneal topograms of patients diagnosed with keratoconus obtained with the corneal topograph Magellan Plug and Play (n= 101 eyes) at Ramón Pando Ferrer Cuban Institute of Ophthalmology in the period 2016-2017. Results: The age groups best represented in the sample were 20-29 and 30-39 years, with a similar proportion of male and female patients. A predominance was found of patients with clinical keratoconus by the severity index and with pathological classification by the prediction index, with an ascending correlation between the two indices. Central cone location was the most frequent in the sample, with a prevalence of the highest levels of the aforementioned indices. A high frequency was found of coma higher-order aberration, according to root mean square and maximum spherical aberration values. Conclusions: The age group best represented in the study sample is 20-39 years, with a similar proportion of male and female patients. A predominance is found of patients with clinical keratoconus by the severity index and with pathological classification by the prediction index, with an ascending correlation between the two indices. Central cone location is the most frequent, with a prevalence of the highest levels of the aforementioned indices. A high frequency is found of coma higher-order aberration, according to root mean square and maximum spherical aberration values(AU)

ABSTRACT

RESUMEN Objetivo: Determinar la relación entre la clasificación subjetiva de la opacidad del cristalino por LOCS III, la agudeza visual mejor corregida y el análisis objetivo de la calidad visual por aberrometría. Métodos: En este estudio observacional, descriptivo y transversal se realizó la categorización con LOCS III de cataratas seniles en paciente con agudeza visual mayor a 0,7 y una medición objetiva de la calidad visual por análisis de frente de onda en pacientes que asistieron al Centro de Microcirugía Ocular del Instituto Cubano de Oftalmología "Ramón Pando Ferrer" entre junio del año 2016 y diciembre de 2017. Resultados: Las cataratas corticales estuvieron relacionadas con una gran magnitud de aberraciones ópticas de alto orden, principalmente coma y trefoil. También se encontró un valor significativo de la aberración esférica en el grupo de cataratas nucleares. Las cataratas del grupo subcapsular posterior no mostraron un tipo de aberración predominante. No se pudo obtener la relación entre la magnitud de la catarata catalogada por LOCS III y los indicadores de calidad visual o la agudeza visual mejor corregida porque el tamaño de la muestra fue insuficiente para relacionarlo con el gran número de categorías en LOCS III. Conclusiones: En los pacientes con catarata senil y buena agudeza visual, el tipo y el grado de opacidad categorizada por LOCS III condiciona el tipo y la magnitud de las aberraciones, y por tanto el deterioro de la calidad visual(AU)


ABSTRACT Objective: Determine the relationship between subjective lens opacity classification by LOCS III, best corrected visual acuity and objective visual quality analysis by aberrometry. Methods: A cross-sectional observational descriptive study was conducted based on LOCS III to classify senile cataracts in patients with visual acuity above 0.7 and objective visual quality measurement by wavefront analysis attending the Ocular Microsurgery Center of Ramón Pando Ferrer Cuban Institute of Ophthalmology from June 2016 to December 2017. Results: Cortical cataracts were associated to a large number of higher-order ocular aberrations, mainly coma and trefoil. Significant spherical aberration values were also found in the nuclear cataract group. Cataracts in the posterior subcapsular group did not display a prevailing aberration type. It was not possible to determine the relationship between the magnitude of the cataract as classified by LOCS III and visual quality indicators or best corrected visual acuity, because sample size was insufficient to be related to the large number of categories in LOCS III. Conclusions: In patients with senile cataract and good visual acuity, the type and degree of opacity as classified by LOCS III determines the type and magnitude of the aberrations, and thus the deterioration of visual quality(AU)

ABSTRACT

Objetico: Correlacionar os níveis de straylight, de scattering, de opacidade do cristalino (LOCS III) e das aberrações ópticas intraoculares em pacientes com catarata nuclear. Métodos: Estudo observacional, prospectivo envolvendo 30 olhos de 30 pacientes com diagnóstico de catarata nuclear. A avaliação do straylight (espalhamento de luz) através do Log(s) foi realizada pelo C-Quant (Oculus, Wetzlar, Germany). A densitometria do cristalino (scattering) através do PNS (Pentacam Nucleus Staging) foi realizada pela tomografia de córnea e segmento anterior (Pentacam® - Oculus, Wetzlar, Germany) e a análise do tipo e graduação da opacidade do cristalino foi feito pelo Lens Opacities Classification System (LOCS III). O Ray tracing (iTrace, Vista, Tracy Technologies) foi utilizado para avaliação da aberrometria total e intraocular onde foi calculado com a integração da Topografia de Plácido. Os critérios de exclusão foram: doença corneana, doenças da retina e/ou nervo óptico e cirurgia ocular prévia. O Teste de Kolmogorov-Smirnov foi utilizado para avaliar a distribuição normal e o Teste de Spearman (não paramétrico) utilizado para as correlações entre as variáveis Log(s) x PNS; Log(s) x LOCS III; LOCS III x PNS; RMS IO x PNS; RMS IO x LOCS III e RMS IO x Log(s). Foi considerado como estatisticamente significante p≤ 0,05%. RESULTADOS: A média de idade dos pacientes foi de 72,3 anos (±8,9). As médias do PNS, do LOCS III, do Log(s) e da RMS IO, foram 2,7 (±1,14), 3,7 (±1,15), 1,49 (±0,38) e 1,23 (±0,5), respectivamente. As correlações de Spearman e o seu coeficiente de correlação (rho) foram p=0,270 (rho 0,20) entre Log(s) x PNS, um p=0,717 (rho 0,06) entre Log(s) x LOCS III, um p=0 (rho 0,76) entre LOCS III x PNS, um p=0,41 (rho -0,15) entre RMS IO x PNS, um p=0,39 (rho -0,15) entre RMS IO x LOCS III e um p=0,83 (rho 0.03) entre RMS IO x Log(s). CONCLUSÃO:A perda da qualidade de....
