To evaluate corneal biomechanical parameters wearing corneoscleral contact lenses (CScL) in patients with irregular corneas after laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK).
Data from patients fitted with CScL because of corneal surface irregularities after complicated LASIK surgery were selected by two eye clinics. Previously and after 1 year of CScL fitting, corneal hysteresis (CH), corneal resistance factor (CRF), corneal-compensated intraocular pressure (IOPcc), and central corneal thickness were evaluated. In addition, visual acuity, subjective comfort, and wearing time CScL were reported.
The study comprised 27 eyes. Statistically significant differences were found in visual acuity between the best spectacle-corrected vision and after CScL fitting [mean±SD, 0.16±0.03 logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution (logMAR) and 0.01±0.06 logMAR, respectively; P<0.001]. In addition, the patients reported high subjective comfort ratings (22 eyes were comfortable or very comfortable) and prolonged usage times (mean±SD, 12.67±1.98 hr of continuous wear a day). Statistically significant differences were found in the CRF between before CScL fitting and after 1 year of CScL wear (mean±SD, 7.57±0.87 and 7.68±0.84 mm Hg, respectively; P=0.015). Central corneal thickness, CH, and IOPcc showed slight differences after 1 year of CScL wear (1.78 μm, 0.04 and 0.21 mm Hg, respectively).
Corneal biomechanical parameters increased slightly, although significantly for CRF, apparently without adverse clinical effects in post-LASIK eyes with irregular corneas after wearing CScL for 1 year.
评估准分子原位角膜磨镶术(LASIK)后角膜不规则患者佩戴角巩膜接触镜(CScL)时的角膜生物力学参数。
两家眼科诊所选取了因LASIK术后角膜表面不规则而佩戴CScL的患者数据。在佩戴CScL之前和之后1年,评估角膜滞后(CH)、角膜阻力因子(CRF)、角膜补偿眼压(IOPcc)和中央角膜厚度。此外,还报告了视力、主观舒适度和CScL佩戴时间。
该研究包括27只眼。最佳眼镜矫正视力与佩戴CScL后视力之间在统计学上有显著差异[平均值±标准差,分别为最小分辨角对数(logMAR)0.16±0.03和0.01±0.06 logMAR;P<0.001]。此外,患者报告主观舒适度评分较高(22只眼感觉舒适或非常舒适)且使用时间延长(平均值±标准差,每天连续佩戴12.67±1.98小时)。CScL佩戴前与佩戴1年后的CRF在统计学上有显著差异(平均值±标准差,分别为7.57±0.87和7.68±0.84 mmHg;P=0.015)。佩戴CScL 1年后,中央角膜厚度、CH和IOPcc有轻微差异(分别为1.78μm、0.04和0.21 mmHg)。
角膜生物力学参数略有增加,尽管CRF增加显著,在LASIK术后角膜不规则的眼睛中佩戴CScL 1年后显然没有不良临床影响。
