To determine the effect of corneal light scatter on vision after penetrating keratoplasty (PK).
Cross-sectional study.
setting: Cornea service at Mayo Clinic, Rochester, Minnesota. study population: Sixty-one eyes with clear grafts at 14.6 +/- 10.5 years after PK; 12 eyes with late endothelial failure (LEF) at 19.7 +/- 6.4 years after PK; 41 normal eyes. observation procedures: PK. main outcome measures: Backscatter from different depths of the cornea was measured by a custom scatterometer; intraocular forward light scatter was measured with a stray light meter; high-contrast visual acuity (HCVA) was measured by Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS) or Snellen chart; mesopic and photopic low-contrast visual acuity (LCVA) were measured with a 10% contrast chart.
Backscatter from the anterior, middle (stroma), and posterior thirds of the cornea was higher in clear grafts compared with normal (P < .001), and higher in grafts with LEF compared with clear grafts (P < .001). Corneal stromal backscatter from clear grafts correlated with time after keratoplasty (r = 0.21; P = .006; n = 61). Forward light scatter was higher in eyes with clear grafts compared with normal (P < or = .006), and higher in eyes with LEF compared with clear grafts (P < or = .01). Corneal stromal backscatter from clear grafts correlated with HCVA (r = 0.34; P = .02; n = 52), mesopic LCVA (r = 0.36; P = .01; n = 28), and photopic LCVA (r = 0.57; P < .001; n = 28). Forward scatter in eyes with clear grafts correlated with photopic LCVA (r = 0.38; P = .04; n = 26).
Light scattered from the cornea increases with time after PK and is associated with decreased high- and low-contrast vision.
确定穿透性角膜移植术(PK)后角膜光散射对视力的影响。
横断面研究。
地点:明尼苏达州罗切斯特市梅奥诊所角膜科。研究对象:61只在PK术后14.6±10.5年移植片透明的眼;12只在PK术后19.7±6.4年发生晚期内皮功能衰竭(LEF)的眼;41只正常眼。观察程序:PK。主要观察指标:用定制的散射仪测量角膜不同深度的后向散射;用杂散光仪测量眼内前向光散射;用糖尿病视网膜病变早期治疗研究(ETDRS)或斯内伦视力表测量高对比度视力(HCVA);用10%对比度视力表测量中视和明视低对比度视力(LCVA)。
与正常眼相比,透明移植片角膜前、中(基质)和后三分之一的后向散射更高(P<.001),与透明移植片相比,发生LEF的移植片后向散射更高(P<.001)。透明移植片的角膜基质后向散射与角膜移植术后时间相关(r = 0.21;P = .006;n = 61)。与正常眼相比,透明移植片眼的前向光散射更高(P≤.006),与透明移植片眼相比,发生LEF的眼的前向光散射更高(P≤.01)。透明移植片的角膜基质后向散射与HCVA(r = 0.34;P = .02;n = 52)、中视LCVA(r = 0.36;P = .01;n = 28)和明视LCVA(r = 0.57;P<.001;n = 28)相关。透明移植片眼的前向散射与明视LCVA相关(r = 0.38;P = .04;n = 26)。
PK术后角膜散射光随时间增加,并与高对比度和低对比度视力下降相关。
