RESUMO

Purpose@#To seek Pearson correlations of tear film osmolarity measured by the I-PEN® (I-MED Pharma Inc., Dollard-des-Ormeaux, Canada) with Schirmer test result, tear break-up time, and Ocular Surface Disease Index score in patients with mild dry eye syndrome. @*Methods@#Patients with mild dry eye syndrome were divided into two groups according to Ocular Staining Score: group 1 (50 patients; 67 eyes) and group 2 (59 patients; 91 eyes), 90 patients and 158 eyes in total. The above mentioned correlations were derived. @*Results@#No significant correlations were observed between tear film osmolarity and Schirmer test result (r < -0.01, p = 0.97), tear break-up time (r = 0.05, p = 0.54), or Ocular Surface Disease Index score (r = 0.03, p = 0.76). When the two groups were compared, the Ocular Surface Disease Index score significantly differed between groups (p < 0.01), whereas the Schirmer test result (p = 0.31), tear break-up time (p = 0.11), and tear film osmolarity (p = 0.12) did not. @*Conclusions@#No significant correlations were found between tear film osmolarity and other dry eye indicators in patients with mild dry eye syndrome. The diagnostic utility of tear film osmolarity in patients with moderate dry eye syndrome is should be evaluated.

RESUMO

Purpose@#To calculate the intraocular lens (IOL) power using the Shammas-PL formula after laser in-situ keratomileusis (LASIK). @*Methods@#Forty-one eyes of 29 patients that had undergone cataract surgery from September 2018 to September 2019 after LASIK were enrolled in this study. A preoperative AL-Scan® (Nidek Co., Gamagori, Japan) was used to measure the axial length, anterior chamber depth, and corneal curvature. An IOL power calculation was performed using the Shammas-PL (post LASIK) formula. Mean absolute error (MAE) and mean arithmetic error (MARE) were calculated using preoperative manifest refraction and postoperative manifest refraction. @*Results@#Of the 41 eyes, 15 eyes (36.6%) were relatively hyperopic-shifted after surgery compared to the predicted refractive error before surgery, 25 eyes (61%) showed a relative myopic shift, and one eye (2.4%) showed no change with respect to the previous refractive predicted error. Refractive errors before cataract surgery were not related to myopic, emmetropic, or hyperopic shifting after surgery (p > 0.05). @*Conclusions@#When cataract surgery using the Shammas-PL formula was performed after LASIK, myopic shifting was more common than hyperopic shifting. The MAE was greater in myopic-shifted cases than that of hyperopic-shifted cases. Thus, it is better to determine IOL power toward the hyperopic side than the target refractive prediction.

RESUMO

Purpose@#To investigate the safety of laser epithelial keratomileusis (LASEK) by drawing a comparison between two groups divided according to age (18-19 vs. 20-21 years old). @*Methods@#The study was conducted as a retrospective analysis including 339 patients (678 eyes) who underwent LASEK between January 2017 and April 2020. Patients were divided by age group, group I (18-19 years old) and group II (20-21 years old). The objectives of the study included determination of visual acuity and refractive errors before and at 1, 3, and 6 months after the procedure. @*Results@#The preoperative mean spherical equivalents (SEs) were -4.73 ± 0.88 diopters (D) in group I and -4.58 ± 0.87 D in group II (p = 0.34). At 1 month postoperatively, mean SEs were 0.32 ± 0.46 D in group I and 0.26 ± 0.59 D in group II (p = 0.18). At 3 months postoperatively, the mean SEs were 0.30 ± 0.47 D in group I and 0.28 ± 0.50 D in group II (p = 0.67). At 6 months postoperatively, the mean SEs were 0.15 ± 0.47 D in group I and 0.14 ± 0.50 D in group II (p = 0.89). There were no significant differences in postoperative best corrected visual acuity between group I and group II at 1, 3, or 6 months (p = 0.20, p = 0.13, and p = 0.11, respectively). @*Conclusions@#There were no significant differences in postoperative mean SE or safety of LASEK between moderate myopia patients 18-19 years old and those 20-21 years old.

RESUMO

Purpose@#The Eyelike K-flex Aspheric® (Koryoeyetech, Seoul, Korea) is manufactured in 0.25-diopter (D) intervals, which allows the target refractive error after surgery to be achieved. We here evaluate the refractive power outcomes. @*Methods@#We retrospectively studied 95 eyes of 72 patients who underwent cataract surgery with implantation of the Eyelike K-flex Aspheric®. Refractive error was measured at 1 and 2 months postoperatively (33 eyes of 27 patients) and compared to that of patients fitted with 0.50-D-interval lenses (62 eyes of 49 patients). @*Results@#At 1 month postoperatively, the mean absolute error between the spherical equivalent and planned value was 0.33 ± 0.28 and 0.41 ± 0.39 D in the 0.25- and 0.50 D-interval lens groups, respectively (p = 0.318). At 2 months postoperatively, the respective values were 0.21 ± 0.15 and 0.34 ± 0.29 D (p = 0.009). @*Conclusions@#The Eyelike K-flex Aspheric® shows excellent refractive predictability; use of 0.25-D-interval intraocular lenses close to the target refractive power allows the desired spherical equivalent to be achieved.

RESUMO

Purpose@#To compare the accuracy of standard and total keratometry data obtained using the Barrett Universal II and Barrett Toric Calculator. @*Methods@#In total, 111 eyes of 111 patients who visited our hospital for cataract surgery from February 2019 to September 2019 were included in this study. Total keratometry and standard keratometry data were obtained using the Barrett Universal II and the Barrett Toric Calculator; mean absolute errors were derived by using preoperative IOL Master 700® (Carl Zeiss Meditech AG, Jena, Germany) data and 2-month postoperative manifest refraction data. The mean absolute errors of the two methods were compared in terms of a posterior corneal astigmatism greater than 0.3 diopter (D) in patients fitted with Toric intraocular lenses. @*Results@#Using the Barrett Universal II formula, the mean absolute error spherical equivalent difference between total keratometry and standard keratometry was 0.021 ± 0.102 D (p = 0.65) when the Barrett Toric Calculator was used. The mean absolute error differences between the two methods were 0.015 ± 0.121 D for the spherical equivalent (p = 0.80) and 0.005 ± 0.870 D for the cylinder measurement (p = 0.94). In terms of a posterior corneal astigmatism greater than 0.3 D, the mean absolute error spherical equivalent and cylinder measurement differences were -0.020 ± 0.107 D (p = 0.70) and -0.023 ± 0.055 D (p = 0.50) in patients fitted with Toric intraocular lenses. @*Conclusions@#The total keratometry method, which directly measures posterior corneal curvature, yields data comparable to those of the standard keratometry method. When the posterior corneal astigmatism was greater than 0.3 D, we found no significant difference between the total keratometry and standard keratometry data of patients fitted with Toric intraocular lenses.

RESUMO

Purpose@#To report a case of central toxic keratopathy after femtosecond laser in-situ keratomileusis (LASIK).Case summary: A 26-year-old male developed diffuse lamellar keratitis bilaterally on day 2 after femtosecond LASIK. He was applying topical steroid frequently, while also using topical antibiotics. On day 6 after LASIK, slit-lamp biomicroscopy showed a thick central corneal opacity on the right eye so a flap irrigation was performed. He was then treated with systemic methylprednisolone. A corneal epithelial crack and stromal striae were noted by slit-lamp biomicroscopy on postoperative day 10. Four weeks after LASIK, the refractive error was +4.25 Dsph = -1.25 Dcyl Axis 80°. He was treated with topical steroid, topical antibiotics, and oral doxycycline until eight weeks after LASIK. Eight weeks after LASIK, the patient was observed without treatment. The central corneal thickness recovered from 488 μm at eight weeks to 540 μm, and the refractive error was +1.25 Dsph = -0.75 Dcyl Axis 85° at postoperative 72 weeks. The central corneal opacity also recovered. @*Conclusions@#Because femtosecond LASIK may result in a combination of diffuse lamellar keratitis and central toxic keratopathy, the clinical characteristics and natural course of both diseases should be understood and timely treatment should be available.

RESUMO

Purpose@#To compare contrast sensitivity before and after surgery in patients who underwent laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK)and small-incision lenticule extraction (SMILE). @*Methods@#From February 2019 to April 2019, 20 patients who underwent LASIK, and 21 who underwent SMILE, were comparedbefore, one day, one week, and one month after surgery. @*Results@#On postoperative day (POD) 1, contrast sensitivity was better in the LASIK group than in the SMILE group under all conditionsfor 1.6, 1, and 0.64 cycles per degree (cpd). One week after surgery, the contrast sensitivity of the LASIK group was betterthan that of the SMILE group under photopic conditions with glare for 1.6, 1, and 0.64 cpd, under photopic conditions withoutglare for 1 and 0.64 cpd, and under all scotopic conditions for 2.5, 1.6, and 0.64 cpd (p< 0.05). There was no significant differencebetween the two groups, except under the scotopic conditions without glare for 0.64 cpd at one month after surgery. In theLASIK group, the contrast sensitivity was best at one week after surgery. The SMILE group showed the poorest contrast sensitivityon POD 1, but this gradually improved. @*Conclusions@#The LASIK group had better contrast sensitivity on one day and one week after surgery than the SMILE group, butthere was no significant difference at one month after surgery. In the LASIK group, the contrast sensitivity was best at one weekafter surgery. In the SMILE group, the contrast sensitivity was worst on POD 1.

RESUMO

PURPOSE: To report a case of corneal and lenticular pigmentation after prolonged clozapine therapy. CASE SUMMARY: A 56-year-old male visited our hospital with a progressive decline in vision that affected both eyes. He had a history of schizophrenia. He was being treated with 200 mg clozapine and 1 mg lorazepam daily, and had been treated with clozapine for 5 years. At the first visit, his best-corrected-visual acuity was 20/32 in both eyes. Slit lamp examination of the corneas showed bright, fine, grayish-brown deposits on the endothelium, and on dilation, bilateral central stellate opacity of the anterior portion of the lens capsule was revealed. CONCLUSIONS: Clozapine may induce corneal and lenticular pigmentation and thus may lead to a decline in vision. Patients on long-term clozapine therapy should be considered for regular ophthalmic review.

RESUMO

PURPOSE: To report a case of irregular astigmatism caused by a free flap during laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) surgery that was treated with a flap rotation based on postoperative topography. CASE SUMMARY: A 21-year-old female underwent LASIK, which was complicated by a free cap on her right eye. Because the gentian violet markings were no longer present, the exact orientation of the cap was unknown. At 3 months after surgery, the astigmatism of the right eye was −3.00 diopters (D) with an uncorrected visual acuity (UCVA) of 0.4, and the astigmatism of the left eye was −0.75 D with an UCVA of 1.0. The corneal topography was analyzed in order to return to the existing position. Free cap repositioning was performed and irregular astigmatism was corrected to improve the UCVA to 1.0. CONCLUSIONS: If the preoperative markings cannot be identified on a free flap during LASIK, secondary postoperative corneal topographic analysis can be performed to restore the corneal free flap to its original position to minimize astigmatism with good visual outcomes.

RESUMO

PURPOSE: To compare higher-order aberrations (HOAs) and visual acuity after wavefront-guided and wavefront-optimized laser keratorefractive surgery. METHODS: This retrospective study consisted of consecutive cases of eyes that underwent wavefront-guided (VISX S4 CustomVue(R)) or wavefront-optimized (WaveLight(R) EX500) laser assisted in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) or photorefractive keratectomy (PRK). Preoperative and postoperative uncorrected visual acuity (UCVA), best corrected visual acuity (BCVA), manifest refraction spherical equivalent (MRSE), and preoperative and 3 month postoperative HOAs were compared. RESULTS: There were no statistical differences in UCVA, BCVA, MRSE, or total HOAs in either the LASIK and PRK groups (all p > 0.05). Induced amount of spherical aberration (SA) was significantly lower in the wavefront-optimized LASIK and PRK than wavefront-guided LASIK and PRK. CONCLUSIONS: In laser keratorefractive surgery, wavefront-guided and wavefront-optimized platforms produced equivalent visual outcomes and no differences in total HOAs. However, the wavefront-optimized platform caused less spherical aberration 3 months after operation.

RESUMO

PURPOSE: To evaluate the clinical effects of excimer laser refractive surgery on eyes with residual refractive error after implantation of ReSTOR(R) multifocal intraocular lenses. METHODS: We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of 10 eyes of 6 patients who had undergone cataract surgery with implantation of multifocal intraocular lenses. Photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) (5 eyes) and laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) (5 eyes) was performed on 10 eyes with residual refractive error. RESULTS: After cataract surgery and before laser surgery, the mean spherical equivalent (SE) was -0.34 +/- 0.89 D and the mean astigmatism was 2.08 +/- 0.55 D. Six months after laser surgery, the mean SE was -0.33 +/- 0.30 D (p = 0.354) and the mean astigmatism was 0.23 +/- 0.28 D. The changes in astigmatism between paired preoperative and postoperative values were statistically significant (p < 0.0001). At 6 months after surgery, uncorrected distance visual acuity significantly improved to 0.11 +/- 0.10 (log MAR) (p < 0.0001) There were no significant changes in the best corrected distance visual acuity and uncorrected near visual acuity (p = 0.073, p = 0.100). CONCLUSIONS: On the basis of predictability and stability, excimer laser surgery appears to be a clinically useful procedure to correct residual refractive error after implantation of ReSTOR(R) multifocal intraocular lenses.

RESUMO

PURPOSE: To evaluate near, intermediate, and distant vision, optical quality, and patient satisfaction with Acri.LISA aspheric diffractive multifocal IOL. METHODS: Forty eyes of 20 patients received phacoemulsification and implantation of Acri.LISA IOL. Visual acuity was measured postoperatively at 1 week, 1 month, and 6 months. Contrast sensitivity, wavefront aberration, and visual function via questionnaire were measured at postoperative 1 month. RESULTS: Uncorrected near, intermediate, and distanct visual acuity at 1 month were 0.09 +/- 0.14, 0.29 +/- 0.17 and 0.11 +/- 0.12, respectively. At 6 months, similar visual acuity results were measured. Total and higher-order wavefront aberration values were 0.66 +/- 0.29 and 0.24 +/- 0.08, respectively. Photopic contrast sensitivity at 1.5, 3, 6, 12, and 18 cycles/degree were 1.38 +/- 0.32, 1.73 +/- 0.24, 1.75 +/- 0.21, 1.33 +/- 0.18, and 0.77 +/- 23, respectively, and mesopic contrast sensitivity values were 1.37 +/- 0.27, 1.72 +/- 0.16, 1.63 +/- 0.14, 1.01 +/- 0.19, and 0.50 +/- 0.22. Total subjective visual function score was 3,127 +/- 354, near work was 244 +/- 36, distance work was 256 +/- 21, and night driving was 221 +/- 42. CONCLUSIONS: The Acri.LISA 366D multifocal IOL can be effective for improving patient satisfaction after cataract surgery as well as for presbyopia correction.

RESUMO

Anterior radial keratotomy for high myopia (over-6.25 diopter) to reduce refractive error was not able to dispense with glasses or contact lenses due to the high myopia itself. However patients could see objects well and were free of dizziness while wearing glasses of relatively reduced power. We performed anterior radial keratotomies on 83 high myopic and/or astigmatic eyes of 47 patients at Kangnam St. Mary's Hospital between May 1990 and Mar. 1991. Eight radial incisions with a diamond blade were performed and the Ruiz technique was added for astigmatism of over 2.0 diopters. The depth of incision was 90 to 95% of corneal thickness and the optical zone was 3mm in diameter. Patients were followed up on postoperative 7 days. 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, 1 year and thereafter. Uncorrected visual acuity of 20/40 or better after radial keratotomy could be obtained in 19.6% of high myopic eyes. A mean reduction of the spherical equivalent cycloplegic refraction of 5.13 diopters and a keratometric reading of 3.89 diopters after radial keratotomy were observed. About 90% of patients were satisfied with their visual outcome with reduced refractive power glasses. We recommend radial keratotomy for high myopic patients to reduce the refractive power and to help them enjoy a more comfortable life.

RESUMO

Anterior radial keratotomy for high myopia (over -6.25 diopter) to reduce the refractive error was not able to dispense with glasses or contact lenses due to high myopia itself. However they could see the objects well and be free of a dizziness with wearing a relatively reduced power of glasses. Authors had performed on anterior radial keratotomy for 239 high myopic and/or astigmatic eyes of 143 patients at Kangnam St. Mary's Hospital between Nov. 1984 and Dec. 1990. Eight radial lines cut with diamond blade was performed and Ruiz technique was added for the astigmatism over 2.0 diopters. The depth of incision was 90 to 95% of corneal thickness and the optical zone was 3mm in diameter. Most of patients were followed up on postoperative 7 days, 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, 1 year and thereafter. Uncorrected visual acuity of 20/40 or better after radial keratotomy could be obtained in 19.2% of high myopic eyes. In addition, mean reduction of spherical equivalent of cycloplegic refraction and keratometric reading after radial keratotomy were 5.1 diopters and 3.85 diopters, respectively. About 90% of patients were satisfied with their visual outcome with reduced refractive power of glasses. We recommend radial keratotomy on high myopic patients to reduce the refractive power and to enjoy a comfortable life.

RESUMO

During the last decade, allogeneic bone marrow transplantation(BMT) has become the treatment of choice in severe aplastic anemia and many types of leukemia. However, there are several complications such as Graft-vs-Host Disease(GVHD), infection, Host-vs-Graft Reaction(HVGR). One of the most serious late complications of BMT is GVHD. This immunological reaction is reportedly caused by donor T lymphocytes reacting against incompatible minor transplantation antigens in host tissue. The clinical manifestation of GVHD involves the skin, gastrointestinal tract, liver and mucosal membranes in the mouth and eyes. One of the most frequent ocular complication after BMT is the "dry eye syndrome" which involves conjunctiva, cornea and the lacrimal glands. The "dry eye" is characterized by subjective symptoms such as pain, foreign body sensation and decreased vision. The epithelial degeneration, due to reduced tear production and alteration in the tear film, creates dry spots and increased mucus strands and debris. We present an analysis of ocular manifestation of 27 out of 81 bone marrow transplanted patients for hematologic malignancies(HM) and severe aplastic anemia(SAA) from March 1983 to January, 1990 at St. Mary's Hospital. The results were as follows: 1) 16 out of 27(59%) BMT patients developed GVHD and 14 out of 27(52%) BMT patients developed dry eyes; 2) 11 out of 16(68%) patients with GVHD developed dry eyes; whereas, 3 out of 11(27%) patients without GVHD developed dry eyes(P<0.05); 3) Four out of 10(40%) patients with a GVHD developed dry eys, whereas 7 out of 11(64%) patients with cGVHD developed dry eyes.

RESUMO

The orbital rhabdomyosarcoma is the most common primary malignant tumor of the orbit in childhood. It was first described in 1854 by Weber and has been increased possibly due to improvement of diagnostic procedures. A 7-year-old boy with the complaints of proptosis and visual disturbance coincidently had an ocular trauma. Incision and drainage of intraorbital hematoma was performed in the right orbit which was confirmed with orbital CT scan. Microscopic findings showed ovoid and spindle shaped rhabdoblasts, hyperchromatic nuclei, and characteristic cross striation in the cytoplasm of the giant cells. He was diagnosed as embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma. The intraorbital hematoma and surrounding tissue in the right orbit were excised and the right eye was enucleated. He received chemotherapy and radiation therapy.
