[PMID: 38698793 PMCID: PMC11063262 DOI: 10.1002/hsr2.1954] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/02/2023] [Revised: 02/12/2024] [Accepted: 02/19/2024] [Indexed: 05/05/2024] Open
Abstract
Background The inflammation plays a role in the pathophysiology of type-2 diabetes progression, and the mechanism remains unclear. The systemic immune-inflammation index (SII) is a novel inflammatory marker for type 2 diabetes patients and integrates multiple indicators in complete blood counts and routine blood tests. Aim Since there is no international diagnostic standard for dry eye disease (DED), this study uses low-cost inflammatory blood biomarkers to investigate the correlation between SII and DM2-DED and determine the diagnosis indices of other biomarkers in DM2-DED. Methodology A case-control retrospective analysis of totel patients n = 293 randomly selected and categorized into four groups: DED, DM2, DM2-DED, and healthy subjects. Demographic and blood biomarker variables were classified as categorical and continuous variables. The platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR), lymphocytes-to-lymphocyte ratio, neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), and SII were calculated platelet count multiply by NLR and analyzed for their correlation for all groups. Results Focusing on DM2-DED patients was more common in females, 59.6%, than in males, 40.2%. The mean ages were 60.7 ± 11.85 years, a statistically significant difference with all groups. In the study group DM2-DED, there was an increase in all blood markers compared to all remaining groups except PLR. Only neutrophil, hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c), and fasting blood sugar levels were statistically significant differences in DM2-DED patients (p > 0.001, p < 0.001, and p < 0.001, respectively) compared to all groups. There was a positive correlation between HbA1c and PLR, HbA1c and NLR, and HbA1c and SII (r = 0.037, p = 0.705; r = 0.031, p = 0.754; and r = 0.066, p < 0.501, respectively) in the DM2-DED group. Conclusion This study demonstrated that elevated SII values were linked to elevated HbA1c in DM2-DED patients. The potential of SII and HbA1c as early diagnostic indicators for ocular problems associated with diabetes mellitus is highlighted by their favorable connection in diagnosing DM2-DED.

Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate the effects of topical 0.05% cyclosporine A on Ocular Surface Disease Index (OSDI) score and ocular surface parameters after small incision lenticule extraction (SMILE) for myopia. METHODS In this study, 151 patients who underwent SMILE were randomized into the control group (71 eyes) and the 0.05% cyclosporine A group (80 eyes). Both groups received standard treatment during the 1 month after SMILE. Over the next 3 months, The control group continued standard therapy (0.3% sodium hyaluronate) and the 0.05% cyclosporine A group received additional 0.05% cyclosporine A. OSDI total and subscale scores, non-invasive tear break-up time (NIBUT), tear lipid layer thickness (LLT), and tear meniscus height (TMH) were assessed preoperatively and postoperatively. RESULTS Compared to baseline, the OSDI scores significantly increased in both groups (P < .001). The 0.05% cyclosporine A group exhibited lower OSDI total scores after administering 0.05% cyclosporine A versus the control group (P = .026). At 1 month of follow-up, NIBUT, LLT, and TMH values significantly decreased in both groups compared to baseline (P < .05). The 0.05% cyclosporine A group exhibited higher NIBUT, LLT, and TMH versus the control group, returning to preoperative values after 2 months. Overall, the OSDI total score and NIBUT values during follow-up were not significantly different between the two groups; however, the LLT and TMH values were significantly different between the two groups (P < .001 and .041, respectively) by repeated measures analysis of variance. CONCLUSIONS Topical 0.05% cyclosporine A was effective in relieving subjective dry eye symptoms and maintaining ocular surface stability in the early postoperative period of SMILE.

Abstract
Purpose To evaluate the impact of incomplete blink rate on corneal epithelial thickness after transepithelial photorefractive keratectomy (Trans-PRK) surgery. Methods Trans-PRK patients were divided into two groups based on preoperative incomplete blinking rates, namely rates ≤0.5 (41 right eyes, group A) and rates >0.5 (65 right eyes, group B). We used anterior segment optical coherence tomography to measure the corneal epithelial thickness (CET) and lipiview to measure the number of blinks, incomplete blinking rate, and lipid layer thickness (LLT). Results In both groups, CET decreased at 1 week and 1 month, and the thicknesses in the IT, T, and ST regions exceeded the preoperative levels. Three months after Trans-PRK, the thickness exceeded the preoperative levels and continued to increase during subsequent follow-ups. The blinking times and LLT in both groups decreased at 1 week and gradually increased but did not return to preoperative levels. Group A maintained an incomplete blinking rate of over 0.5 at all postoperative periods. The incomplete blinking rate of group B remained above 0.5 postoperatively, although there was an improvement compared with preoperative rates. Both groups showed a correlation between changes in CET and incomplete blinking rate. There was a correlation between changes in LLT and the incomplete blinking rate after surgery. Conclusion Both groups showed uneven corneal epithelia thickening, which became more pronounced approaching the peripheral areas. In addition, changes in CET after surgery were positively correlated with the incomplete blinking rate in both patient groups. There was a negative correlation between postoperative LLT and incomplete blinking rate.

Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate the efficacy of perioperative IPL therapy in preventing postoperative ocular surface disorders in patients undergoing corneal laser refractive surgery. DESIGN randomized, controlled, clinical trial with triple-blinding. METHODS Setting: Vissum Miranza - Alicante; Study population: 61 patients randomized in two groups: 31 study patients (perioperative IPL + laser refractive surgery) and 30 control patients (perioperative placebo + laser refractive surgery). Follow-up was conducted over a 6-month period; Intervention: Each participants underwent three IPL sessions with a two-week interval between each session (pre-surgery, post-surgery week-one, and post-surgery week-three). For controls, placebo was administered following the same protocol. MAIN OUTCOMES MEASURES visual outcomes and refraction, slit-lamp examination, corneal topography, visual analogue scale questionnaire and Oculus Keratograph 5 M including tear meniscus height, non-invasive tear break- up time, ocular redness, infrared meibography and Ocular Surface Disease Index (OSDI) questionnaire. RESULTS 61 randomized eyes were included. No significant differences were observed in terms of uncorrected and corrected distance visual acuity (UDVA, CDVA), refractive error or corneal aberrations. A statistically significant improvement in OSDI score (change -8.47, p = 0.043), tear meniscus (change 0.05 mm, p = 0.004) and Meibography (change -0.42, p = 0.012) was observed at the third postoperative month in the study group. Additionally, at the sixth postoperative month, there were statistically significant improvements in tear meniscus (change 0.06 mm, p = 0.018), tear break-up-time (change 1.68 s, p = 0.039) and Meibography (change -0.37, p = 0.030). CONCLUSIONS Results suggest that perioperative IPL therapy applied to laser corneal refractive surgery improves objective and subjective ocular surface parameters over non-IPL-treated control patients and early postoperative dry eye symptoms.

[PMID: 38066467 PMCID: PMC10709852 DOI: 10.1186/s12886-023-03241-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/10/2023] [Accepted: 11/23/2023] [Indexed: 12/18/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The incidence of refractive surgery-related dry eye disease (DED) is rising due to the increasing popularity of corneal refractive surgery. The moisture chamber goggles (MCGs) have been shown to tear evaporation by increasing local humidity and minimizing airflow. The current study aims to evaluate the efficacy of moisture chamber goggles for refractive surgery-related DED. METHODS In this nonrandomized open-label controlled study, 78 participants (156 eyes) receiving refractive surgery were enrolled between July 2021 and April 2022, and sequentially allocated to MGC and control groups. 39 participants were allocated to the MGC groups, of which 53.8% received small-incision lenticule extraction (SMILE) and 46.2% received femtosecond laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis (FS-LASIK), and were instructed to wear MCGs for the duration of 1 month postoperatively, in addition to the standard postoperative treatment received by the control groups (56.4% SMILE, 43.6% FS-LASIK). Participants underwent full ophthalmic examinations, including visual acuity, manifest refraction, DED evaluations, and higher-order aberrations (HOAs), both preoperatively and at routine follow-ups 1 day, 1 week, and 1 month after surgery. DED parameters included non-invasive tear film break-up time (NIBUT), tear meniscus height (TMH), conjunctival congestion, lipid layer thickness (LLT), and ocular surface disease index (OSDI) questionnaires. Student's t-test was used for comparisons between control and MCG groups, and between preoperative and postoperative parameters within groups. RESULTS Postoperative NIBUT decreased in both SMILE and FS-LASIK control groups 1 day after the surgery (SMILE, P = 0.001; FS-LASIK, P = 0.008), but not in the corresponding MCG groups (SMILE, P = 0.097; FS-LASIK, P = 0.331). TMH in the MCG group was significantly higher at 1 week (P = 0.039) and 1 month (P = 0.015) in SMILE, and 1 day (P = 0.003) in FS-LASIK groups. In FS-LASIK participants, significantly lower HOAs and coma levels in the MCG group were observed 1 day (total HOAs, P = 0.023; coma, P = 0.004) and 1 week (total HOAs, P = 0.010, coma, P = 0.004) after surgery. No consistent statistically significant intergroup difference was observed between MCG and control groups in conjunctival congestion, LLT, and OSDI. CONCLUSIONS MCGs effectively slowed tear evaporation, increased tear film stability, and improved HOAs in patients receiving SMILE and FS-LASIK surgeries. MCG is an effective adjuvant therapy in the comprehensive management of refractive surgery-related DED.
