Ophthalmic Physiol Opt 2023; 43:1469-1477. [PMID: 37584271 DOI: 10.1111/opo.13213] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/21/2022] [Revised: 07/28/2023] [Accepted: 07/31/2023] [Indexed: 08/17/2023]
Abstract
PURPOSE To compare the effect of orthokeratology (ortho-k) using aspheric or spherical base curve (BCA vs. BCS) contact lenses on axial elongation and the relative peripheral refraction change (RPRC) in Chinese children. METHODS Children aged 8-12 years with myopia between -0.75 and -4.00 D and astigmatism ≤1.00 D were randomly assigned to the BCA or BCS group. Peripheral refraction was assessed at 10°, 20° and 30° along the temporal and nasal retina at baseline and at the 12-month visit. Axial length (AL) was measured under cycloplegia at baseline and at the 6- and 12-month visits. Only right eye data were analysed. Repeated-measures analysis of covariance was performed to examine the differences in axial elongation and the RPRC between the BCA and BCS groups. RESULTS The 1-year results from 31 BCA and 32 BCS subjects were analysed. No significant between-group differences were found at baseline (p ≥ 0.28). At the 12-month visit, the BCA lens produced a greater absolute RPRC along the horizontal meridian than the BCS lens (p < 0.001). Axial elongation was slower in the BCA group (0.19 ± 0.20 mm) than in the BCS group (0.29 ± 0.14 mm; p = 0.03). Axial elongation was correlated with the RPRC at 10° (r = 0.43, p = 0.02) and 20° (r = 0.39, p = 0.03) along the temporal retina in the BCA group; however, these correlations were not observed in the BCS group. CONCLUSION The BCA ortho-k lens could improve the efficacy of slowing axial elongation in children. The improved myopia control observed in the BCA group may be the result of a larger myopic shift in relative peripheral refraction within 20° along the temporal retina.

[PMID: 36681621 DOI: 10.1016/j.clae.2023.101814] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/15/2022] [Revised: 12/12/2022] [Accepted: 01/12/2023] [Indexed: 01/22/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND To investigate the effects of orthokeratology (ortho-k) lenses with aspheric and spherical base curve designs on corneal refractive power (CRP) and peripheral refraction. METHODS Children aged 8 to 12 years with myopia between -0.75 D to -4.00 D, astigmatism ≤1.00 D, and corneal astigmatism ≤1.50 D were randomly assigned to the base curve aspheric (BCA) and base curve spherical (BCS) ortho-k lens groups. CRP was assessed for the central 8 mm cornea along horizontal and vertical meridians, and peripheral refraction was measured at 10°, 20°, and 30° along the nasal and temporal retina. Primary measurements included relative corneal refractive power change (RCRPC) and relative peripheral refraction change (RPRC). RESULTS The 3-month results of the 33 and 29 subjects (right eye only) in the BCA and BCS groups, respectively, were obtained. Nonsignificant differences were found in the baseline data between the two groups (p > 0.05). At the 3-month follow-up visit, the mean RCRPC in the BCA group (2.08 ± 0.65 D) was significantly greater than that in the BCS group (1.32 ± 0.81 D) (F1,51 = 25.25, p < 0.001). The BCA group (-1.82 ± 0.65 D) exhibited a larger absolute RPRC than the BCS group (-0.98 ± 0.54 D) (F1,57 = 33.73, p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS It was found that the BCA ortho-k lens resulted in a more aspheric treatment zone and a more myopic relative peripheral refraction (RPR) along the horizontal meridian. The more myopic RPR was contributed by a more hyperopic central refraction and a more myopic peripheral refraction in the BCA group.

Predicting corneal refractive power changes after orthokeratology. Sci Rep 2021; 11:16681. [PMID: 34404885 PMCID: PMC8371104 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-021-96213-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/24/2021] [Accepted: 08/03/2021] [Indexed: 12/29/2022] Open
Abstract
This study aimed to characterise corneal refractive power (CRP) changes along the principal corneal meridians during orthokeratology (OK). Nineteen myopes (mean age 28 ± 7 years) were fitted with OK lenses in both eyes. Corneal topography was captured before and after 14 nights of OK lens wear. CRP was calculated for the central 8 mm cornea along the horizontal and vertical meridians. The central-paracentral (CPC) power ratio was calculated as the ratio between maximum central and paracentral CRP change from individual data. There was a significant reduction in CRP at all locations in the central 4 mm of the cornea (all p < 0.001) except at 2 mm on the superior cornea (p = 0.071). A significant increase in CRP was evident in the paracentral zone at 2.5, 3 and 3.5 mm on the nasal and superior cornea and at 3.5 and 4 mm on the temporal cornea (all p < 0.05). No significant change in CRP was measured in the inferior cornea except decreased CRP at 2.5 mm (p < 0.001). CPC power ratio in the nasal and temporal paracentral regions was 2.49 and 2.23, respectively, and 2.09 for both the inferior and superior paracentral corneal regions. Our results demonstrates that OK induced significant changes in CRP along the horizontal and vertical corneal meridians. If peripheral defocus changes are inferred from corneal topography, this study suggests that the amount of myopia experienced on the peripheral retina was greater than twice the amount of central corneal power reduction achieved after OK. However, this relationship may be dependent on lens design and vary with pupil size. CPC power ratios may provide an alternative method to estimate peripheral defocus experienced after OK.

Abstract
PURPOSE To determine the total corneal refractive power in 1-8 mm corneal zones and the 8 mm Q-value in non-keratoconic patients with Down syndrome and normal subjects aged 10-30 years. METHODS Right eye data from 203 Down syndrome patients (mean ± standard deviation age: 17.0 ± 4.7 years) and 189 age- and gender-matched normal subjects (17.1 ± 4.5 years) were compared. Main extracted Pentacam indices were total corneal refractive power in steep and flat axes, and mean and difference (corneal astigmatism) total corneal refractive power in 1-8 mm zones. RESULTS Mean total corneal refractive power in 1-8 mm zones was 45.17-45.74 D and 42.91-43.52 D in Down and normal group, respectively (all p < 0.001). The coefficients of variation of total corneal refractive power from the center to the periphery were similar in the two groups (p = 0.855). None of the mean total corneal refractive powers significantly correlated with age, and all of them were significantly higher in females (p < 0.001). Mean total corneal refractive power-based corneal astigmatism in these zones changed from 1.46 to 1.66 D in Down syndrome patients and 1.64 to 1.99 D in normal group. All corneal astigmatism indices were similar between two groups (all p > 0.05). The prevalence of against the rule and oblique astigmatism in all zones were higher in the Down syndrome group (all p < 0.05). CONCLUSION Adolescent and young non-keratoconic patients with Down syndrome have a more prolate cornea and a homogeneous keratometry distribution. In this population, females have a steeper cornea.

Abstract
PURPOSE To compare peripheral refraction along both the horizontal and vertical retinal meridians before and after orthokeratology (OK) lens wear. METHODS Nineteen young adult myopic subjects (mean age, 28 ± 7 years) were fitted with OK lenses in both eyes. Central and peripheral refraction and corneal topography measurements were taken before and after 14 nights of OK. All measurements were taken with no correction or OK lens in place. RESULTS At baseline before OK, peripheral spherical equivalent refraction (M) across the horizontal meridian did not vary significantly from center. M across the vertical meridian was more myopic than the center (p < 0.05). After OK, there was a significant hyperopic shift in M (p < 0.001); both meridians now experienced myopic peripheral refraction. At baseline, J180 across the horizontal meridian was more negative than the center, and along the vertical meridian, it was more positive than the center (all p < 0.05). At baseline, J45 was more positive than center with increased eccentricity in the temporal and inferior retina and more negative than center with increased eccentricity in the nasal and superior retina. Orthokeratology caused greater rate of change of peripheral J180 across both retinal meridians (p < 0.001). Furthermore, compared with baseline, J45 became more positive in the nasal and superior retina and more negative in the temporal and inferior retina (all p < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS Orthokeratology lenses induced significant changes in peripheral refraction along the horizontal and vertical meridians. As peripheral myopia was measured at baseline along the vertical meridian, the results of our study suggest that inducing greater degrees of myopic defocus on to the peripheral retina, more than habitually experienced, may be required for effective myopia control. Further investigation into the critical threshold of retinal area receiving myopic defocus and the impact of duration of exposure is necessary to improve the efficacy of current myopia control treatments.

Abstract
The authors aim to determine the periorbital soft tissue anthropometric norms for Turkish young adults for right and left eyes using a noninvasive two-dimensional photogrammetric analysis. Anthropometric measurements of the periorbital soft tissue were taken from 172 female and 56 male Turkish adults aged between 18 and 24 years. The periorbital soft tissue profiles (ocular and palpebral) for males and females were digitally analyzed using linear measurements made with standardized photographic records, taken in a natural head position. Statistically significant differences were found for ocular soft tissue measurements according to gender except inner intercanthal distance (P = 0.125) and right horizontal palpebral aperture (P = 0.240). Statistically significant differences were found for palpebral soft tissue measurements according to gender except right pretarsal skin height (P = 0.112) and left pretarsal skin height (P = 0.056). Results were compared with other ethnic groups. Normal periorbital soft tissue measurements are fundamental anatomical parameters utilized in ophthalmology, optometry, ophthalmic industry, oculoplastic surgery, clinical genetics, dermatocosmetology. Further, normal anthropometric measurements generate reference data for studies in craniofacial dysmorphology, oculoplastic surgery, dermatocosmetology, and comparative physical anthropology.

Abstract
BACKGROUND We examined the effect of surgical repair on the pattern of refractive errors in Korean patients with congenital blepharoptosis. METHODS We reviewed the clinical records of 54 patients with congenital blepharoptosis who attended our hospital from 2006 to 2012 and underwent a detailed refractive examination before and after ptosis repair surgery. Among them, 21 of the patients whose refractive data was available for both before and after the surgery were included in order to observe the effect of ptosis repair surgery on refractive error characteristics. The astigmatism groups were divided into three subgroups: with-the-rule (WTR), against-the-rule (ATR), and oblique astigmatism (OA). We also evaluated the severity of astigmatism. RESULTS Before surgery, the ptotic eyes had more severe astigmatism and a greater percentage of OA than the fellow eyes. The changes in astigmatism magnitude before and after surgery were not significant, but the proportion of subjects with OA increased significantly. In ptotic eyes, amblyopia was found in 14 eyes (20.9 %). 3 eyes (4.5 %) were from solely occlusive visual stimulus deprivation due to severe ptosis, and 11 eyes were from refractive errors. Among refractive errors, amblyogenic astigmatism made up to the largest proportion of patients (8 patients, 11.9 %). CONCLUSIONS Ptotic eyes had more severe astigmatism and more OA than fellow eyes. Amblyogenic astigmatism was more common in ptotic eyes. A change in astigmatism toward the OA axis was significantly detected after surgery, and that can be possible amblyogenic cause. Therefore, the correction of astigmatism before and after ptosis repair surgery is very important to prevent amblyopia.
