Evolución de la biometría de coherencia óptica y las nuevas plataformas / Evolution of optical coherence biometry and the new platforms

RESUMEN La interferometría de coherencia óptica es un procedimiento esencial para calcular la potencia óptica de la lente intraocular. La presente revisión describe la evolución de la biometría óptica por interferometría, las nuevas plataformas, las características técnicas, los parámetros de calibración, la interpretación de los resultados y las situaciones especiales con indicación de cirugía de catarata. Para efectuar el trabajo fueron consultadas las bases de datos de la plataforma Infomed, específicamente en la Biblioteca Virtual de Salud, PubMed, Cochrane Database-Wiley Online Library, LILACS y Scielo. El IOL Máster favorece la medición de los parámetros biométricos oculares, ya que realiza mediciones sólidas y repetibles que incluye fórmulas de cuarta generación para el cálculo de potencia de lentes intraoculares. Actualmente se dispone en el mercado de varias plataformas para la biometría ocular usando los métodos interferométricos de alta resolución que tienen el potencial de mejorar significativamente los resultados refractivos. Estos estudios son de alta predictibilidad, lo cual permite obtener una buena agudeza visual y evita la sorpresa refractiva((AU)

ABSTRACT Optical coherence interferometry is an essential procedure for calculating the optical power of the intraocular lens. The present review describes the evolution of optical biometry by interferometry, the new platforms, technical features, calibration parameters, interpretation of results, and special situations in which cataract surgery is indicated. Information was collected from the databases on the Infomed platform, specifically the Virtual Health Library, PubMed, Cochrane Database-Wiley Online Library, LILACS and Scielo. IOL Master facilitates the measurement of ocular biometric parameters, since it performs solid, repeatable measurements that include fourth-generation formulas for the calculation of intraocular lens power. Several ocular biometry platforms are currently available in the market which use high resolution interferometric methods with the potential to significantly improve refractive results. These studies are characterized by their high predictability, making it possible to obtain good visual acuity and avoid refractive surprise(AU)

Effect of Serous Retinal Detachment on the Measurement of Axial Length in Central Serous Chorioretinopathy

PURPOSE: To evaluate the changes of axial length (AXL) in eyes with unilateral idiopathic central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC) after resolution of serous retinal detachment. METHODS: A total of 31 patients diagnosed with idiopathic unilateral CSC were included in this study. The changes of AXL according to serous retinal detachment were examined. The keratometric value and AXL were measured using partial coherence interferometry. Serous retinal detachment and central macular thickness (CMT) were measured by spectral domain optical coherence tomography. RESULTS: The mean age of the 31 CSC patients, including 19 males, was 42.7 years. The AXL was significantly increased from 23.41 to 23.58 mm after resolution of serous retinal detachment (p < 0.001). The CMT was significantly decreased from 413.4 to 226.8 µm after resolution of serous retinal detachment (p < 0.001). The differences in AXL correlated with CMT differences and subretinal fluid height (r = −0.616, p < 0.001 and r = −0.637, p < 0.001, respectively), and the best-corrected visual acuity was significantly different after resolution of serous retinal detachment (p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS: In unilateral idiopathic CSC with serous retinal detachment, a shortened AXL in the acute phase was restored after resolution of serous retinal detachment.
