Influence of corneal plastic lens on ocular surface and visual quality of intermittent exotropia with myopia / 国际眼科杂志(Guoji Yanke Zazhi)

ABSTRACT

@#AIM: To investigate the influence of orthokeratology on ocular surface and visual quality of intermittent exotropia with myopia. <p>METHODS: Totally 60 patients(120 eyes)with intermittent exotropia and spherical equivalent ranging from -0.75 to -5.50D were numbered and divided into study group and control group according to random number table, which included 30 cases(60 eyes)of patients in each group. Two groups patients were intervened by orthopaedic training with prism for at least half of a year. In addition, the study group matched the night wearing corneal plastic lenses through the standardization of corneal plastic matching process, and observed continuously for at least half of a year. The before and after treatment strabismus, naked eye vision, best corrected visual acuity, fluoresce-in staining tear film rupture time(FBUT), diopter and visual quality between the two groups were compared. The rate of adverse reactions and complications between the two groups was compared to evaluate the safety. <p>RESULTS: There was no significant difference in all before intervention indexes between the two groups(<i>P</i> > 0.05). Compared with that those of before intervention, in both groups, after treatment strabismus decreased, naked vision, best corrected vision and FBUT increased, diopter values reduced, and the proportion of patients with excellent visual quality increased. And the after treatment naked visual acuity, best corrected visual acuity, FBUT, diopter and visual quality in the study group were better than those in the control group(<i>P</i><0.05). There was no significant difference in therate of adverse reactions and complications such as orbital and orbital pain, eye distention, headache, palpebral conjunctival vascular congestion between the two groups(13% <i>vs</i> 10%, <i>P</i>=1.000). <p>CONCLUSION: On the basis of triangular prism orthophotic training, the wearing of orthopaedic keratoplasty lenses can improve the tear film, refraction and visual quality of intermittent exotropia patients, and its safety is good, which is worthy of clinical application.
