To quantify the effect of a single scleral lens design on visual acuity and ocular higher-order aberrations in eyes with post-LASIK ectasia, keratoconus and pellucid marginal degeneration (PMD) that could not achieve satisfactory vision with spectacles or soft contact lenses.
Forty-six eyes of 28 participants fitted with diagnostic scleral lenses (KeraCare) were analysed, including 19, 15 and 12 eyes with post-LASIK ectasia, keratoconus and PMD, respectively. Corrected distance visual acuity (CDVA) and ocular aberrations were measured prior to lens wear and during lens wear after 60 min of settling. An i-Trace aberrometer was used to determine aberrations over a 4.5 mm diameter pupil.
Before lens wear, the median (95% confidence interval) values across all groups were: CDVA 0.30 (0.30, 0.40) logMAR, spherical equivalent refraction -2.75 (-5.25, -2.12) D, cylindrical refraction 3.75 (2.50, 5.00) D, higher-order-root-mean-square error (HO-RMS) 0.90 (0.64, 1.03) μm and vertical coma co-efficient C(3,-1) -0.32 (-0.42, -0.12) μm. RMS coma of 0.52 (0.40, 0.74) μm was higher for the keratoconus group than for the other groups (p < 0.05). During lens wear, values improved considerably across all groups: CDVA 0.0 (0.0, 0.00) logMAR, spherical equivalent refraction -0.50 (-0.75, +0.50) D, cylindrical refraction 0.50 (0.00, 0.50) D, HO-RMS 0.32 (0.26, 0.42) μm and C(3,-1) +0.12 (+0.02, +0.19) μm (all p < 0.001 compared to pre-lens wear). While reduced significantly, RMS coma remained higher in the keratoconus group at 0.35 (0.31, 0.52) μm than in the post-LASIK ectasia and PMD groups at 0.17 (0.12, 0.21) μm and 0.07 (0.02, 0.46) μm, respectively (p < 0.05).
The KeraCare scleral contact lens reduced ocular aberrations and improved visual acuity in patients with post-LASIK ectasia, keratoconus and PMD. The sign of vertical coma changed in keratoconus and PMD.
定量评估单一巩膜镜片设计对 LASIK 后扩张、圆锥角膜和边缘性角膜营养不良(PMD)患者的视力和眼高阶像差的影响,这些患者使用眼镜或软性隐形眼镜无法获得满意的视力。
分析了 28 名参与者的 46 只眼睛,包括 19 只、15 只和 12 只 LASIK 后扩张、圆锥角膜和 PMD 眼。在佩戴镜片前和佩戴镜片 60 分钟后稳定时测量矫正远视力(CDVA)和眼像差。使用 i-Trace 像差仪测量 4.5mm 瞳孔直径的像差。
在所有组中,佩戴镜片前的中位数(95%置信区间)值分别为:CDVA 0.30(0.30,0.40)logMAR,等效球镜屈光度-2.75(-5.25,-2.12)D,柱镜屈光度 3.75(2.50,5.00)D,高阶均方根误差(HO-RMS)0.90(0.64,1.03)μm 和垂直彗差系数 C(3,-1)-0.32(-0.42,-0.12)μm。与其他组相比,圆锥角膜组的 RMS 彗差(0.52(0.40,0.74)μm)更高(p<0.05)。在佩戴镜片期间,所有组的数值均显著改善:CDVA 0.0(0.0,0.00)logMAR,等效球镜屈光度-0.50(-0.75,+0.50)D,柱镜屈光度 0.50(0.00,0.50)D,HO-RMS 0.32(0.26,0.42)μm 和 C(3,-1)+0.12(+0.02,+0.19)μm(与佩戴镜片前相比,均为 p<0.001)。虽然 RMS 彗差显著降低,但圆锥角膜组仍高于 LASIK 后扩张组和 PMD 组,分别为 0.35(0.31,0.52)μm、0.17(0.12,0.21)μm 和 0.07(0.02,0.46)μm(p<0.05)。
KeraCare 巩膜接触镜可降低 LASIK 后扩张、圆锥角膜和 PMD 患者的眼像差并提高视力。圆锥角膜和 PMD 的垂直彗差方向发生改变。
