[PMID: 35741230 PMCID: PMC9221645 DOI: 10.3390/diagnostics12061418] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/06/2022] [Revised: 06/06/2022] [Accepted: 06/06/2022] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
Advances in imaging with optical coherence tomography (OCT) and optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) technology, including the development of swept source OCT/OCTA, widefield or ultra-widefield systems, have greatly improved the understanding, diagnosis, and treatment of myopia and myopia-related complications. Anterior segment OCT is useful for imaging the anterior segment of myopes, providing the basis for implantable collamer lens optimization, or detecting intraocular lens decentration in high myopic patients. OCT has enhanced imaging of vitreous properties, and measurement of choroidal thickness in myopic eyes. Widefield OCT systems have greatly improved the visualization of peripheral retinal lesions and have enabled the evaluation of wide staphyloma and ocular curvature. Based on OCT imaging, a new classification system and guidelines for the management of myopic traction maculopathy have been proposed; different dome-shaped macula morphologies have been described; and myopia-related abnormalities in the optic nerve and peripapillary region have been demonstrated. OCTA can quantitatively evaluate the retinal microvasculature and choriocapillaris, which is useful for the early detection of myopic choroidal neovascularization and the evaluation of anti-vascular endothelial growth factor therapy in these patients. In addition, the application of artificial intelligence in OCT/OCTA imaging in myopia has achieved promising results.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Evaluation of central corneal densitometry changes following Ferrara corneal ring segment implantation in patients with keratoconus, especially the correlation between corneal densitometry and keratometry. METHODS Retrospective, non-comparative, interventional study based on the review of medical records of patients diagnosed with keratoconus who underwent Ferrara corneal ring segment implantation. Pre and post-operative corneal densitometry measurements obtained with Pentacam HR (Oculus, Wetzlar, Germany) were analyzed. The follow-up time was 3 months, and data comparison was made, using specific statistical analysis, with the data of 3 months postoperatively. RESULTS The study sample consisted of 43 eyes of 36 patients. The mean corrected visual acuity improved from 0.82 LogMAR preoperatively (SD ± 0.33) to 0.19 LogMAR (SD ± 0.13) postoperatively. The mean spherical equivalent varied from -4.63 (SD ± 3.94) preoperatively to -2.16 (SD ± 2.63) postoperatively. Asphericity varied from -0.69 (SD ± 0.32) preoperatively to -0.27 (SD ± 0.31) postoperatively. The mean maximum K was 54.01D (SD ± 3.38) preoperatively and 51.50D (SD ± 2.90) postoperatively. The mean anterior densitometric value was 18.26 (SD ± 2.03) preoperatively and 17.66 (SD ± 1.84) postoperatively. CONCLUSION Corneal densitometry is an interesting technology that should be studied in keratoconus patients. Our results suggest that the corneal densitometry in the cornea's anterior layer reduces after ICRS implantation and correlates with corneal keratometry. Further studies should be performed to increase the knowledge in this field.

Unique corneal tomography features of allergic eye disease identified by OCT imaging and artificial intelligence. JOURNAL OF BIOPHOTONICS 2020; 13:e202000156. [PMID: 32649048 DOI: 10.1002/jbio.202000156] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/26/2020] [Revised: 07/06/2020] [Accepted: 07/07/2020] [Indexed: 06/11/2023]
Abstract
The purpose of this study was to assess unique corneal tomographic parameters of allergic eye disease (AED) using optical coherence tomography (OCT) and artificial intelligence (AI). A total of 57 eyes diagnosed with AED were included. The curvature and aberrations of the air-epithelium (A-E) and epithelium-Bowman's layer (E-B) interfaces were calculated. Random forest AI models were built combing this data with the parameters of healthy, forme fruste keratoconus (FFKC) and KC eyes. The AI models were cross-validated with 3-fold random sampling. Each model was limited to 10 trees. The AI model incorporating both A-E and E-B parameters provided the best classification of AED eyes (area under the curve = 0.958, sensitivity = 80.7%, specificity = 98.5%, precision = 88.2%). Further, the E-B interface parameters provided the highest information gain in the AI model. A few AED eyes (n = 9) had tomography parameters similar to FFKC and KC eyes and may be at risk of progression to KC.

Abstract
PURPOSE To analyze corneal and epithelial remodeling differences between SmartSurfACE reverse transepithelial PRK (SCHWIND eye-tech-solutions) and Streamlight (Alcon Laboratories, Inc) transepithelial PRK procedure using optical coherence tomography (OCT) and artificial intelligence (AI). METHODS This was a prospective, interventional, and longitudinal study. A contralateral eye study was conducted in which one eye was assigned to the SmartSurfACE group and the fellow eye was assigned to the Streamlight group. OCT was performed preoperatively and 1, 3, and 6 months after surgery. Uncorrected (UDVA) and corrected (CDVA) distance visual acuity and residual refractive error was measured only preoperatively and at 3 and 6 months. From OCT, curvature and aberrations of the air-epithelium (A-E) interface, epithelium-Bowman's layer (E-B) interface, and epithelium Zernike indices (EZI) were derived. Pain was evaluated at 1 day postoperatively using the Wong-Baker scale. RESULTS Both groups had similar UDVA, CDVA, residual refractive error, and changes in A-E and E-B curvatures at 3 and 6 months postoperatively (P > .05). However, many parameters indicated that the Streamlight group underwent a greater change in A-E aberrations, E-B aberrations, and EZI than the SmartSurfACE group postoperatively (P < .05). The EZI indicated a greater level of epithelial thickness distortion in the Streamlight group than in the SmartSurfACE group (P < .05). Using AI, the EZI were most indicative of remodeling differences between the two groups. Further, the pain was significantly greater at 1 day in the Streamlight group (P < .05). CONCLUSIONS Early remodeling differences existed because the Streamlight procedure removed a greater amount of epithelium than the SmartSurfACE procedure. However, the visual and refractive outcomes were comparable. [J Refract Surg. 2020;36(10):678-686.].

Abstract
To discuss and evaluate new technologies for a better diagnosis of corneal diseases and limbal stem cell deficiency, the outcomes of a consensus process within the European Vision Institute (and of a workshop at the University of Cologne) are outlined. Various technologies are presented and analyzed for their potential clinical use also in defining new end points in clinical trials. The disease areas which are discussed comprise dry eye and ocular surface inflammation, imaging, and corneal neovascularization and corneal grafting/stem cell and cell transplantation. The unmet needs in the abovementioned disease areas are discussed, and realistically achievable new technologies for better diagnosis and use in clinical trials are outlined. To sum up, it can be said that there are several new technologies that can improve current diagnostics in the field of ophthalmology in the near future and will have impact on clinical trial end point design.

Abstract
PURPOSE To study the repeatability of anterior surface and Bowman's layer curvature in normal and keratoconic eyes using optical coherence tomography (OCT). METHODS In this study, 96 normal and 96 keratoconic eyes underwent corneal imaging using Pentacam (Oculus Optikgeräte, Wetzlar, Germany) and OCT (Triton, Topcon Corporation, Tokyo, Japan). The elevation data from segmented air-epithelium (A-E) and epithelium-Bowman's layer (E-B) interfaces in OCT scans were used to quantify curvature and aberrations. The wavefront aberrations were evaluated with the ray tracing method and 6th order Zernike polynomials. The intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC), within-subject standard deviation (Sw), and coefficient of variation (CoV) were used to assess repeatability. RESULTS For curvatures, the Sw was less than 0.25 diopters (D) for the normal and keratoconic eyes. The Sw was highest for root mean square of lower order aberrations (0.14 µm) in keratoconic eyes. The CoV for curvatures was well below 0.5% for both groups. For some aberrations irrespective of groups, the CoV was greater because some individual aberrations (mean of three successive measurements) tended to be smaller in magnitude and even a small Sw resulted in a high CoV. For all variables, the ICC ranged between 0.80 and 0.99 for both the OCT and Pentacam measurements. Most variables were similar between the A-E and E-B interfaces (P > .05) for both groups. However, both differed significantly from all Pentacam variables (P < .05) in normal and keratoconic eyes. CONCLUSIONS The repeatability of OCT curvatures and aberrations compared well with the Pentacam indices for normal and keratoconic eyes. [J Refract Surg. 2020;36(4):247-252.].

Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate the longitudinal changes in epithelial thickness after photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) and correlate these with refractive changes. METHODS This prospective study included 52 eyes of 52 candidates for myopic PRK. Along with standard ophthalmic examinations, corneal epithelial thickness mapping by anterior segment optical coherence tomography was performed. Epithelial thickness maps of 9-mm diameter were divided into 25 sectors, including a central 2-mm zone and eight octants within para-central (2 to 5 mm), midperipheral (5 to 7 mm), and peripheral (7 to 9 mm) annular zones. All PRK treatments were performed using the Technolas Teneo 317 model 2 excimer laser (Bausch & Lomb, Rochester, NY) and an aspheric profile with a 6-mm diameter optical zone. Follow-up was at 1, 3, and 6 months. RESULTS Repeated thickness measures before and after PRK at different follow-up times showed a significant difference in thickness separately in various zones (P < .001). A significant decrease in thickness was seen 1 month after PRK in all zones. Afterward, epithelial thickening continued in all zones and reached the preoperative thickness in the midperipheral and peripheral zones 6 months later, whereas the thickness in the central 5-mm zone was significantly thicker than before surgery. There was also a significant correlation between changes in spherical equivalent and epithelial thickness from before to 6 months postoperatively in the paracentral and peripheral zones. CONCLUSIONS There was a marked decrease in the epithelial thickening pattern at 1 month after PRK, with gradual thickening at 3 and 6 months. Changes in epithelial thickness and spherical equivalent were significant only for the para-central peripheral zone. [J Refract Surg. 2019;35(10):632-641.].

Fourier-Domain OCT Imaging of the Ocular Surface and Tear Film Dynamics: A Review of the State of the Art and an Integrative Model of the Tear Behavior During the Inter-Blink Period and Visual Fixation. J Clin Med 2020; 9:jcm9030668. [PMID: 32131486 PMCID: PMC7141198 DOI: 10.3390/jcm9030668] [Citation(s) in RCA: 31] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/12/2020] [Revised: 02/26/2020] [Accepted: 02/27/2020] [Indexed: 12/26/2022] Open
Abstract
In the last few decades, the ocular surface and the tear film have been noninvasively investigated in vivo, in a three-dimensional, high resolution, and real-time mode, by optical coherence tomography (OCT). Recently, OCT technology has made great strides in improving the acquisition speed and image resolution, thus increasing its impact in daily clinical practice and in the research setting. All these results have been achieved because of a transition from traditional time-domain (TD) to Fourier-domain (FD) technology. FD-OCT devices include a spectrometer in the receiver that analyzes the spectrum of reflected light on the retina or ocular surface and transforms it into information about the depth of the structures according to the Fourier principle. In this review, we summarize and provide the state-of-the-art in FD-OCT imaging of the ocular surface system, addressing specific aspects such as tear film dynamics and epithelial changes under physiologic and pathologic conditions. A theory on the dynamic nature of the tear film has been developed to explain the variations within the individual compartments. Moreover, an integrative model of tear film behavior during the inter-blink period and visual fixation is proposed.
