Résumé
Objective To evaluate the optical quality in patients with meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD) by using double-pass optical quality analysis system (OQAS-Ⅱ) for offering the reference data for clinical practices.Methods A total of 50 patients with a diagnosis of MGD,who were divided into MGD with dry eye disease (DED) group (n =22) and MGD without DED group (n =28) according to the results of tear film break-up time (BUT) and Schirmer I test (SIT),and another 25 healthy subjects were enrolled in this study.Then several parameters,including modulation transfer function cutoff (MTF cutoff),Strehl ratio (SR) and objective scattering index (OSI),were measured to evaluate the optical quality by using OQAS-Ⅱ.Additional clinical examination,including meibomian gland and tear film assessment were per formed and compared between the three groups.In addition,a correlation analysis was conducted among OSI,MTF cutoff,SR,BUT,SIT and meibomian gland assessment.Results Statistical differences were approached in MTF cutoff,SR,OSI of the three groups (all P ＜ 0.05).The MTF cutoff and SR in MGD without DED group were significantly lower than those in the control group [(31.36 + 1.83) c · deg-1 vs.(35.87 ± 1.59)c·deg-1,(0.21 +0.02) vs.(0.23 ±0.03)],but the OSI got higher [(0.57+ 0.06) vs.(0.45 ±± 0.06)] (all P ＜ 0.05).The SR and MTF cutoff in MGD patients with DED was significantly lower than those in MGD patients without DED [(27.87 ±± 3.08),c·deg-1 vs.(31.36±±1.83)c· deg-1,(0.16 ±±0.02) vs.(0.21 ± 0.02)],but OSIgot significantly higher [(0.72 ± 0.10) vs.(O.57 ± 0.06)] (all P ＜ 0.05).Among the three groups,OSI,MTF cutoff and SR showed no significant correlation with BUT,SIT and meibomian gland assessment (all P ＞ 0.05).Conclusion There is changes in visual quality parameters in MGD patients by OQAS-Ⅱ,and MGD with DED patients has significant changes than MGD patients without DED.
