Abstract
Corneal techniques for enhancing near and intermediate vision to correct presbyopia include surgical and contact lens treatment modalities. Broad approaches used independently or in combination include correcting one eye for distant and the other for near or intermediate vision, (termed monovision or mini-monovision depending on the degree of anisometropia) and/or extending the eye's depth of focus [1]. This report provides an overview of the evidence for the treatment profile, safety, and efficacy of the range of corneal techniques currently available for managing presbyopia. The visual needs and expectations of the patient, their ocular characteristics, and prior history of surgery are critical considerations for patient selection and preoperative evaluation. Contraindications to refractive surgery include unstable refraction, corneal abnormalities, inadequate corneal thickness for the proposed ablation depth, ocular and systemic co-morbidities, uncontrolled mental health issues and unrealistic patient expectations. Laser refractive options for monovision include surface/stromal ablation techniques and keratorefractive lenticule extraction. Alteration of spherical aberration and multifocal ablation profiles are the primary means for increasing ocular depth of focus, using surface and non-surface laser refractive techniques. Corneal inlays use either small aperture optics to increase depth of field or modify the anterior corneal curvature to induce corneal multifocality. Presbyopia correction by conductive keratoplasty involves application of radiofrequency energy to the mid-peripheral corneal stroma which leads to mid-peripheral corneal shrinkage, inducing central corneal steepening. Hyperopic orthokeratology lens fitting can induce spherical aberration and correct some level of presbyopia. Postoperative management, and consideration of potential complications, varies according to technique applied and the time to restore corneal stability, but a minimum of 3 months of follow-up is recommended after corneal refractive procedures. Ongoing follow-up is important in orthokeratology and longer-term follow-up may be required in the event of late complications following corneal inlay surgery.

Comparison of intraocular lens power calculation formulas with and without total keratometry and ray tracing in patients with previous myopic SMILE. J Cataract Refract Surg 2023; 49:467-473. [PMID: 36700932 DOI: 10.1097/j.jcrs.0000000000001139] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/21/2022] [Accepted: 01/03/2023] [Indexed: 01/27/2023]
Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate the prediction error (PE) variance and absolute median PE of different intraocular lens (IOL) calculation formulas including last-generation formulas such as Barrett True-K with K, Okulix and total keratometry (TK)-based calculations with Haigis, and Barrett True-K in a simulation model in post-small-incision lenticule extraction (SMILE) eyes. SETTINGS Department of Ophthalmology, University Hospital Marburg, Marburg, Germany. DESIGN Prospective study. METHODS Preoperative measurements included IOL power calculation before and after SMILE surgery. The target refraction was set to be the lowest myopic refractive error in pre-SMILE eyes. The IOL power targeting at the lowest myopic refractive error in pre-SMILE eyes was selected for the post-SMILE IOL calculation of the same eye. The difference between the predicted refraction of pre- and post-SMILE eyes with the same IOL power was defined as IOL difference. The refractive change induced by SMILE was defined as the difference between preoperative and postoperative manifest refraction. RESULTS 98 eyes from 49 patients underwent bilateral myopic SMILE. The PE variance of Okulix was not significantly different compared with Barrett True-K with TK ( P = .471). The SDs of the mean PEs were ±0.413 D (Haigis-TK), ±0.453 D (Okulix), ±0.471 D (Barrett True-K with TK), ±0.556 D (Haigis-L), and ±0.576 D (Barrett True-K with K). The mean absolute PE was 0.340 D, 0.353 D, 0.404 D, 0.511 D, and 0.715 D for Haigis-TK, Okulix, Barrett True-K with TK, Barrett True-K with K, and Haigis-L, respectively. The highest percentage of eyes within ±0.50 D was achieved by Okulix, followed by Haigis-TK, Barrett True-K with TK, Barrett True-K with K, and Haigis-L. CONCLUSIONS Results suggest that Haigis in combination with TK, Okulix, and Barrett True-K with and without TK offer good options for accurate IOL power calculation after SMILE. Haigis-L showed a tendency for myopic shift in eyes after previous SMILE.

Graefes Arch Clin Exp Ophthalmol 2023; 261:857-865. [PMID: 36138148 DOI: 10.1007/s00417-022-05814-3] [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: 04/25/2022] [Revised: 07/16/2022] [Accepted: 08/19/2022] [Indexed: 11/04/2022] Open
Abstract
PURPOSE This study aimed to investigate the stability of posterior corneal surface 2 years after transepithelial photorefractive keratectomy (TPRK) in patients with a residual stromal thickness less than 350 μm. METHODS In total, 408 eyes of 212 patients (160 women, 52 men) who underwent TPRK were enrolled in this retrospective study. All surgeries were performed in the Amaris 750S excimer laser platform with smart pulse technology. The posterior corneal elevation, anterior chamber depth, Q value, and curvature were measured using Pentacam preoperatively and postoperatively. All patients were followed up for 2 years. The relationship between percent tissue altered (PTA), age, and changes in posterior corneal surface was analyzed. RESULTS The mean preoperative spherical equivalent was - 6.80 ± 1.18 D (range: - 9.00 to - 2.63 D). The mean residual stromal thickness was 336.46 ± 7.25 μm (range: 310-348 μm). The mean PTA was 30.93 ± 2.03% (range: 24.29-35.28%). At 2 years after surgery, the elevation of six points in the central area decreased by 1.91 ± 2.97 μm, 2.98 ± 3.23 μm, 1.17 ± 3.85 μm, 1.70 ± 2.88 μm, 1.36 ± 3.19 μm, and 1.65 ± 3.18 μm, compared with the preoperative value (P < 0.05). The elevation of three points in the peripheral area increased by 1.87 ± 6.34 μm, 0.68 ± 6.00 μm, and 0.95 ± 5.50 μm (P < 0.05). There was no significant linear relationship between PTA, age, and changes in posterior corneal surface, anterior chamber depth, and K2 (all P > 0.05). CONCLUSION Within 2 years after TPRK, the posterior corneal surface remained stable in patients with a residual stromal thickness between 310 and 350 μm. There was no sign of iatrogenic ectasia during the follow-up period.

Abstract
Keratoconus is a complex and multifactorial disease and its exact aetiology remains unknown. This current study examined the important environmental risk factors and their association with keratoconus. This study was registered in the PROSPERO International Prospective Register of systematic reviews under registration number CRD42021256792 in 2021. Scopus, Web of Science, PubMed, and Cochrane CENTRAL databases were searched for all relevant articles published from 1 January 1900 to 31 July 2021. National Institutes of Health Quality Assessment Tool was used to assess the methodological quality of the studies. The assessment for statistical heterogeneity was assessed using the Z-statistics on RevMan v5.4. P-value of <0.05 was considered as statistically significant and I2 < 25% as homogenous. Thirty studies were included in this meta-analysis. Pooled odds ratio was calculated with 95% CI. The pooled odds ratio (OR) of eye rubbing, atopy, asthma, and eczema was 3.64 (95% CI, 2.02, 6.57), 1.90 (95% CI, 1.22, 2.94), 1.36 (95% CI, 1.15, 1.61) and 1.90 (95% CI, 1.22, 2.94), respectively. The OR for diabetes was 0.86 (95% CI 0.73, 1.02), and use of sunglasses, contact lens, allergic conjunctivitis, side sleep position and prone sleep position was 0.40 (95% CI, 0.16, 0.99), 1.68 (0.70, 4.00), 2.24 (95% CI, 0.68, 7.36), 3.81 (95% CI, 0.31, 46.23), 12.76 (95% CI, 0.27, 598.58), respectively. Twenty studies were considered to be of high quality, nine to be moderate and one to be low. Environmental risk factors have been identified to play a role in the susceptibility of keratoconus. However, further large-scale longitudinal studies are needed to understand the mechanisms between environmental risk factors and keratoconus.

Abstract
Recent evidence indicates that the corneal back surface astigmatism (CBSA) contributes to the refractive state of the eye in cataract surgery, especially with the implantation of toric intraocular lenses. But this has been met with some scepticism. A review of key studies performed over the past three decades shows that the mean CBSA power ranges from 0.18(±0.16)D to 1.04(±0.20)D. The clinical assessment of CBSA is problematic. There is poor agreement between the current automated systems for assessment of CBSA and it is assumed that these systems directly measure the CBSA. But CBSA cannot be measured directly in vivo. A historical review of methods used to quantify the curvature of the posterior corneal surface reveals that CBSA estimated by current systems is based on values for corneal front surface astigmatism, corneal refractive index, central corneal thickness, corneal thickness at peripheral locations and the exact distance between the corneal apex and each one of these peripheral locations. Doubts and errors in these values, coupled with the precise details of the algorithm incorporated to estimate CBSA, are the likely sources of the lack of agreement between current systems. These systematic errors cloud the assessment of CBSA. Mean CBSA may be low, but it varies from case to case. There is a clear need for a realistic, practical procedure for clinicians to independently calibrate systems for estimating CBSA. This would help to reduce uncertainty and the discrepancies between instruments designed to measure the same parameter.
