This study aimed to assess the anterior corneal wavefront aberrations, keratometry, astigmatism vectors and pupil size between Pentacam HR® (Oculus Optikgeraete GmbH, Wetzlar, Germany) and iTrace® (Tracey Technologies Corp., Houston, TX, USA). In this observational study, 100 eyes (50 healthy volunteers) were scanned in mesopic light condition with a Pentacam HR® and iTrace®. Anterior corneal aberrations (spherical aberration (Z40), vertical coma (Z3 − 1), horizontal coma (Z3 + 1)), keratometry in the flattest (K1) and steepest meridian (K2), mean astigmatism, astigmatic vectors (J0 and J45), and pupil size were measured. We found a significant difference in Z40 (Pentacam®: +0.30 ± 0.11 µm and iTrace®: −0.03 µm ± 0.05 µm; p < 0.01) with no correlation between the devices (r = −0.12, p = 0.22). The devices were in complete agreement for Z3 − 1 (p = 0.78) and Z3 + 1 (p = 0.39), with significant correlation between the machines (r = −0.38, p < 0.01 and r = −0.6, p < 0.01). There was no difference in K1, K2 and mean astigmatism. J0 was negative with both devices (against-the-rule astigmatism), but there was no correlation. J45 was negative with the Pentacam HR® (more myopic oblique astigmatism) but significantly correlated between the devices. Pupil size was smaller with Pentacam HR® (p < 0.01). In summary, these devices cannot be used interchangeably. Corneal Z40 was significantly different with more negative Z40 with iTrace® compared to Pentacam HR®. iTrace® operates with lower illumination, giving larger pupil size than Pentacam HR®, which uses intense blue light during measurement. No correlation was found for J0. Pentacam HR® had a trend to record more negative J45 (myopic oblique astigmatism).
本研究旨在评估Pentacam HR®(德国韦茨拉尔奥culus Optikgeraete有限公司)和iTrace®(美国得克萨斯州休斯顿Tracey Technologies公司)之间的角膜前表面波前像差、角膜曲率、散光矢量和瞳孔大小。在这项观察性研究中,100只眼睛(50名健康志愿者)在中度照明条件下使用Pentacam HR®和iTrace®进行扫描。测量了角膜前表面像差(球差(Z40)、垂直彗差(Z3 - 1)、水平彗差(Z3 + 1))、最平子午线(K1)和最陡子午线(K2)的角膜曲率、平均散光、散光矢量(J0和J45)以及瞳孔大小。我们发现Z40存在显著差异(Pentacam®:+0.30±0.11 µm,iTrace®:−0.03 µm±0.05 µm;p<0.01),且两种设备之间无相关性(r = -0.12,p = 0.22)。两种设备在Z3 - 1(p = 0.78)和Z3 + 1(p = 0.39)方面完全一致,且两台机器之间存在显著相关性(r = -0.38,p<0.01和r = -0.6,p<0.01)。K1、K2和平均散光无差异。两种设备测得的J0均为负值(逆规散光),但无相关性。Pentacam HR®测得的J45为负值(更多近视斜向散光),但两种设备之间存在显著相关性。Pentacam HR®测得的瞳孔大小较小(p<0.01)。总之,这些设备不能互换使用。与Pentacam HR®相比,角膜Z40存在显著差异,iTrace®测得的Z40更负。iTrace®在较低照明条件下运行,其测得的瞳孔大小比Pentacam HR®大,Pentacam HR®在测量过程中使用强蓝光。未发现J0存在相关性。Pentacam HR®有记录到更多负J45(近视斜向散光)的趋势。
