EYE AND VISION (LONDON, ENGLAND) 2024; 11:35. [PMID: 39218909 DOI: 10.1186/s40662-024-00403-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/27/2024] [Accepted: 08/05/2024] [Indexed: 09/04/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND To evaluate the long-term effectiveness of orthokeratology (ortho-K) lenses with small treatment zone (STZ) or conventional treatment zone (CTZ) in controlling axial elongation in children with myopia as well as the impact on visual quality. We also sought to determine the effect of retinal visual signal quality on axial elongation. METHODS This is a prospective randomized controlled study. A total of 140 participants (age ranging from 8 to 12 years) were randomly assigned to wear either STZ or CTZ ortho-K lenses. STZ ortho-K lenses design was achieved by changing the depth of reverse zone and the sagitta height of the optical zone. Using the IOL-Master 500, axial length (AL) was measured at baseline and after 6, 12 and 18 months of ortho-K treatment. Spherical aberration (SA) and corneal topographic parameters were obtained by the Pentacam anterior segment analyzer at baseline and the 1-month follow-up visit, and optical qualities were assessed by optical quality analysis system-II (OQAS-II) at baseline and after 1 month of lens wearing. Optical quality parameters mainly included the modulation transfer function (MTF) cutoff, Strehl ratio (SR), objective scattering index (OSI), and predicted visual acuity (PVA). RESULTS A total of 131 participants completed the study, including 68 in the STZ group and 63 in the CTZ group. The STZ group had significantly reduced AL elongation compared to the CTZ group after treatment (12 months: 0.07 ± 0.11 mm vs. 0.14 ± 0.12 mm, P = 0.002; 18 months: 0.17 ± 0.15 mm vs. 0.26 ± 0.16 mm, P = 0.002). The topography in the STZ group showed a smaller treatment zone (TZ) diameter (2.50 ± 0.23 mm vs. 2.77 ± 0.18 mm, P < 0.001), a wider defocus ring width (2.45 ± 0.28 mm vs. 2.30 ± 0.30 mm, P = 0.006), and larger values of total amount of defocus (119.38 ± 63.71 D·mm2 vs. 91.40 ± 40.83 D·mm2, P = 0.003) and total SA (0.37 ± 0.25 μm vs. 0.25 ± 0.29 μm, P = 0.015), compared with the CTZ group. Objective visual quality decreased in both groups (P < 0.001). This was evidenced by a greater decrease in MTF cutoff (- 14.24 ± 10.48 vs. - 10.74 ± 9.46, P = 0.047) and SR values (- 0.09 ± 0.07 vs. - 0.06 ± 0.07, P = 0.026), and an increase in OSI value (0.84 ± 0.72 vs. 0.58 ± 0.53, P = 0.019). PVA9% decreased significantly in the STZ group but not the CTZ group. A statistically significant negative correlation was found between the changes in total SA and MTF cutoff values (r = - 0.202, P = 0.025). AL changes were associated with sex, change of MTF cutoff value, increment of total SA and TZ area. CONCLUSIONS Compared with CTZ ortho-K lenses, STZ ortho-K lenses significantly inhibited axial elongation in children with myopia while moderately reducing their objective visual quality. Axial elongation was affected by retinal visual quality, and it may be a possible mechanism for ortho-K slowing myopia progression. Trial registration This trial is registered at Chinese Clinical Trial Registry on November 5, 2019 with trial registration number: ChiCTR1900027218. https://www.chictr.org.cn/showproj.html?proj=45380.

Graefes Arch Clin Exp Ophthalmol 2023; 261:3521-3530. [PMID: 37382611 PMCID: PMC10667390 DOI: 10.1007/s00417-023-06148-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/09/2022] [Revised: 06/09/2023] [Accepted: 06/13/2023] [Indexed: 06/30/2023] Open
Abstract
PURPOSE To analyze and compare the visual performance and patient satisfaction following the implantation of toric multifocal intraocular lenses (TMIOLs) in adult patients with different types of developmental cataracts (DC) accompanied by corneal astigmatism (CA). METHODS This is a prospective observational cohort study. Patients diagnosed with DC aged 18-30 years were divided into three groups according to the anatomic location of the lens opacity: cortical, nuclear, and posterior subcapsular (PSC) groups, and implanted with TMIOLs. Visual acuity (VA), postoperative refractive astigmatism (RA), intraocular lens (IOL) rotation, high-order aberrations (HOAs), modulation transfer function (MTF) curve, and Strehl ratio were compared. The functional vision and incidence of photic phenomena were surveyed using questionnaires. RESULTS Fifty-five eyes of 37 patients were enrolled and completed a 1-year follow-up. The mean CA was 2.06 ± 0.79 D preoperatively, and the mean RA was 0.29 ± 0.30 D 3-month postoperatively. The IOL rotation was 2.48° ± 1.89°, with no deviation > 10°. At 12 months, mean uncorrected distance VA improved from 0.93 ± 0.41 preoperatively to 0.08 ± 0.08 logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution (logMAR), mean uncorrected near VA increased from 0.45 ± 0.30 preoperatively to 0.12 ± 0.11 logMAR, and mean uncorrected intermediate VA was 0.14 ± 0.08 logMAR. The cortical and nuclear groups displayed better improvements in uncorrected near and intermediate VA than that in the PSC group. Similar results were observed in the 3-month defocus curves, HOAs, MTF curve, halo incidence, and near vision satisfaction. CONCLUSION In adult patients with DC accompanied by CA, TMIOLs implantation achieved good postoperative visual outcomes and significantly reduced glasses dependency. Patients with cortical or nuclear lens opacity showed better whole-course VA and quality of vision, while patients with PSC opacity showed unsatisfactory near vision and suffered more photic phenomena.

Abstract
Purpose To assess the impact of tear film on postoperative visual acuity after cataract surgery to implant an intraocular lens (IOL). Methods Tear break-up time (TBUT), Schirmer I test, objective scatter index (OSI), and uncorrected distance visual acuity (UCDVA), intermediate visual acuity (UCIVA), and near visual acuity (UCNVA) were collected 6 months after cataract surgery. Results Fifteen eyes with monofocal (Mo-) IOLs and 15 eyes with multifocal (Mu-) IOLs from 30 subjects were included. The Mu-IOL group exhibited higher baseline OSI (1.92 ± 0.69, P < 0.001). Negative correlations-both groups: tear film-related OSI (TF-OSI) and TBUT/Schirmer I test; Mo-IOL: TBUT and logMAR UCDVA-and positive correlations-both groups: TF-OSI and baseline OSI, baseline OSI/TF-OSI and logMAR UCDVA; Mu-IOL: baseline OSI/TF-OSI and logMAR UCIVA/UCNVA-were found. Linear regression showed associations between TF-OSI and TBUT (Mo-IOL: R2 = 0.455, P = 0.006; Mu-IOL: R2 = 0.454, P = 0.006)/Schirmer I test (Mo-IOL: R2 = 0.527, P = 0.002; Mu-IOL: R2 = 0.266, P = 0.049). Multiple regression showed associations between baseline OSI (Mo-IOL: R2 = 0.309, P = 0.032; Mu-IOL: R2 = 0.305, P = 0.033)/TF-OSI (Mo-IOL: R2 = 0.332, P = 0.025; Mu-IOL: R2 = 0.523, P = 0.002)/TBUT (Mo-IOL only: R2 = 0.315, P = 0.029) and logMAR UCDVA. Conclusions TF-OSI reflects the UCDVA performance in eyes with IOLs and facilitates a better understanding of the effects of the tear film. Translational Relevance TF-OSI offers a developmental and objective approach to assessing the changing visual performance caused by tear film after cataract surgery and IOL implantation in clinical practices.

Xie C, Wei R. Long-term changes in the ocular surface during orthokeratology lens wear and their correlations with ocular discomfort symptoms. Cont Lens Anterior Eye 2023; 46:101757. [PMID: 36137919 DOI: 10.1016/j.clae.2022.101757] [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: 05/31/2022] [Revised: 09/01/2022] [Accepted: 09/08/2022] [Indexed: 01/18/2023]
Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate the changes in ocular surface parameters during orthokeratology lens wear and determine their correlations with ocular discomfort symptoms. METHODS Fifty individuals were enrolled in this prospective pilot study. Clinical evaluation of the ocular surface included the ocular surface disease index, slit-lamp examination, Keratograph 5M, optical quality analysis system, and corneal staining. After baseline examinations, clinical tests were performed at 1 day, 1 week, 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, and 12 months after orthokeratology lens wear. Correlations between ocular discomfort symptoms and signs of ocular discomfort were evaluated. RESULTS Overall ocular surface disease index score and two subscale scores (ocular symptoms and vision-related function) significantly increased at the 3-month visit (P < 0.05), and decreased to levels close to baseline at the12-month visit (P > 0.05). The basic objective scatter index and the mean tear film objective scatter index increased, peaking at 3-month visit (P < 0.05) and gradually decreased thereafter. The modulation transfer function cut-off significantly decreased at the 3-month visit (P < 0.05). During the 12-month study period, the overall ocular surface disease index score and vision-related function score were significantly and positively correlated with the basic objective scatter index and mean tear film objective scatter index (P < 0.05). After 1 week of lens wear, Grade 1 corneal staining increased to 16.4 %, mostly involving the central and inferior cornea. CONCLUSIONS Orthokeratology lens wear increased ocular discomfort symptoms and decreased the function of tear film, mainly within 3 months of lens wear. Tear-related visual function parameters were correlated with ocular discomfort. A new parameter, tear film objective scatter index, measured with the optical quality analysis system, was more sensitive in detecting the quality and stability of tear film than traditional indicators.

Abstract
PURPOSE To investigate the visual quality after femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery (FLACS) and conventional phacoemulsification surgery (CPS) with the implantation of an extended depth-of-focus (EDOF) intraocular lens (IOL) TECNIS Symfony. SETTING Eye Center, the Second Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang University, Zhejiang, China. DESIGN Prospective cohort study. METHODS Patients were given the option to choose FLACS or CPS and were implanted with a TECNIS Symfony. Main outcome measures were postoperative examinations that included defocus curves, contrast sensitivity (CS), optic path difference aberrometry scan, anterior segment photography, and questionnaires. RESULTS 261 patients (261 eyes) were enrolled. The circularity index of FLACS was more precise than that of CPS ( P = .001). FLACS demonstrated a significantly lower IOL decentration ( P = .011) and IOL tilt ( P = .009). FLACS presented a significantly lower total aberration ( P < .001), higher-order aberrations (HOAs) ( P = .001), coma ( P = .001), and spherical aberration ( P < .001). With IOL decentration of more than 0.40 mm, total internal aberration ( P = .023) and HOAs ( P = .045) were significantly deteriorated. As for defocus curve, FLACS was better at -1.00 diopter ( P < .01). The FLACS group achieved higher CS at 6 to 18 cycles per degree under glare condition ( P < .05). With regard to photic phenomena, the FLACS group received better outcomes ( P < .05). CONCLUSIONS With the implantation of an EDOF IOL, FLACS could precisely control the shape and size of the capsulotomy and induce a significantly better-centered IOL, leading to higher visual performance compared with CPS.

Abstract
Purpose To assess changes in optical quality and visual function in children after 3 months of wearing orthokeratology (OK) lenses. Methods A total of 25 myopic children aged 8-12 years were recruited and completed the follow-up study. Optical quality, visual function and corneal morphology were assessed at baseline and at follow-ups 1 and 3 months after wearing OK lenses. Optical quality parameters mainly included the modulation transfer function (MTF) cutoff, objective scattering index (OSI), Strehl ratio (SR) and the predicted visual acuities (PVAs). Visual function was assessed by visual acuity, monocular contrast sensitivity function (CSF) across five spatial frequencies and the area under the log contrast sensitivity function (AULCSF) that was also computed as an index for overall CSF. Results The MTF cutoff and SR values both increased after 1 month of wearing the OK lenses (baseline vs. 1 month: P MTF = 0.008 and P SR = 0.049); this improvement plateaued after 3 months of lens wear (1 month vs. 3 months: P MTF = 0.626, P SR = 0.428). The corneal morphology also showed the similar change trend. The OSI showed the opposite change trend (baseline vs. 1 month: P OSI < 0.001; 1 month vs. 3 months: P OSI = 0.720). The mean CSF at 1.5 cpd decreased significantly after 1 month of wearing the lenses (baseline vs. 1 month: p = 0.001) and recovered after 3 months of lens wear (baseline vs. 3 months: p = 0.076). CSF at spatial frequencies of 3, 6, 12 and 18 cpd as well as the AULCSF did not significantly differ between any two timepoints (all Ps > 0.05). Conclusion After 3 months of wearing OK lenses, the subjects exhibited a decrease in optical quality, similar to corneal morphology, whereas their visual function remained largely unchanged. Thus, the optical quality was more susceptible to OK lenses than visual function in children. The initial month of OK treatment of children is a key period to be paid close attention to deterioration of optical quality and visual function.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION We performed a prospective, single-center, cohort study in order to evaluate the effects of vitrectomy with epiretinal membrane (ERM) peel on optical quality in patients with primary ERM. METHODS Thirty patients treated for primary ERM by vitrectomy with ERM peel were included from our tertiary university hospital ophthalmology department. The main study outcome was variation in optical quality parameters measured using the HD Analyzer™ between pre-operative and two-month post-operative evaluations in operated eyes. Optical quality parameters comprised point spread function (PSF) width at 10% and 50%, objective scatter index (OSI), and modulation transfer function (MTF) cutoff. Contralateral non-operated eyes were used as an internal control for measurement reproducibility. RESULTS Mean PSF width at 10% (42.22 vs 27.37 arc/min; p = 0.0002) and mean OSI (3.32 vs 2.32; p = 0.0003) were significantly improved between pre- versus post-operative evaluations. Mean PSF width at 50% and mean MTF cutoff showed no changes. Subgroup analysis according to crystalline lens status gave similar results demonstrating that improvements in mean PSF width at 10% and OSI were not lens-related. Non-operated eyes showed no changes in any of the parameters analyzed. CONCLUSION Reduced light scattering measured by OSI indicates improved optical quality following vitrectomy with ERM peel among patients with primary ERM. OSI measurement could thus be a new parameter of interest in the pre-operative assessment of primary ERM and other pre-vitrectomy assessments.

Abstract
Purpose: To assess impact of tear optics on repeatability of a Scheimpflug device with a Hartmann Shack aberrometer and a ray tracing aberrometer. Methods: One hundred healthy and 100 postrefractive surgery eyes underwent dry eye evaluation including Schirmer’s test and tear film break-up time (TBUT). They underwent optical quality analyzer (OQAS, Visio metrics S.L, Terrassa, Spain) to assess objective scatter index (OSI), three scans each on Pentacam AXL wave (OCULUS Optikgerate Gmbh, Wetzlar, Germany), iTrace (Tracey™ Technologies, Texas, USA) for flat, steep keratometry, thinnest corneal thickness, root mean square higher-order aberrations (RMS HOA), RMS lower-order aberrations (LOA), spherical aberrations, RMS COMA. Repeatability of Pentacam AXL wave and iTrace in healthy and postrefractive eyes (OSI >1 vs OSI <1) was studied using within-subject standard deviation (Sw) test–retest repeatability (TRT), coefficient of variation (COV). Results: OSI showed an inverse association with TBUT (P < 0.001). All measurements with Pentacam AXL wave with OSI < 1 had excellent repeatability, intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) ranging from 0.88 for HOA, to 0.92 for LOA. The Sw, TRT, and COV of all aberration measurements were significantly lower (better) than those of iTrace. In eyes with OSI ≥1, the repeatability with Pentacam AXL wave dropped with ICC ranging from 0.77 for HOA, to 0.84 for LOA with lower Sw, TRT, and COV of all aberration measurements as compared to iTrace. Maximum variation was seen with HOA and minimum with LOA Conclusion: Tear optics affected repeatability of Pentacam wave and iTrace. Pentacam wave had better repeatability in eyes with a poor tear film as compared to iTrace. Thus, the tear film can impact repeatability of an instrument and it is important to assess the tear film prior to imaging patients, which can change the way we interpret and image these patients.

Comparison of Visual Outcomes and Quality of Life in Patients with High Myopic Cataract after Implantation of AT LISA Tri 839MP and LS-313 MF30 Intraocular Lenses. J Ophthalmol 2022; 2022:5645752. [PMID: 35265369 PMCID: PMC8901302 DOI: 10.1155/2022/5645752] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/17/2021] [Accepted: 02/04/2022] [Indexed: 12/02/2022] Open
Abstract
Purpose To investigate the benefits of multifocal lens in patients with high myopic cataract and compare the clinical effects between AT LISA tri 839MP and MPlus LS-313 MF30 intraocular lenses (IOLs) in high myopic eyes. Methods This retrospective cohort study analyzed 60 eyes with axial length >26 mm in 40 patients. Thirty eyes were implanted with MF30, and the remaining 30 eyes were implanted with 839MP. Postoperative uncorrected distance visual acuity (UDVA), best corrected distance visual acuity (BCDVA), uncorrected intermediate visual acuity (UIVA) and uncorrected near visual acuity (UNVA), defocus curve, modulation transfer function (MTF) curve, Strehl ratio (SR), and complications were compared between the two groups. Results All vision outcomes were significantly improved in both groups (p < 0.05). There was no significant between-group difference in UDVA at 1 and 3 months postoperatively (p > 0.05). However, UIVA and UNVA were significantly better in the 839MP group (p < 0.05). The VF-14 score, especially for near vision quality, was significantly higher in the MF30 group (2.2 ± 0.9 vs. 0.8 ± 0.7; p ≤ 0.001). The SR of both groups significantly increased postoperatively (p < 0.05). All the 3-month MTF curve values (MTF 10 total, MTF 10 internal, MTF 30 total, and MTF 30 internal) were significantly better in the 839MP group (p < 0.05). Meanwhile, all the high-order aberration values (coma, spherical aberration, and trefoil) were significantly greater in the MF30 group (p < 0.05). Conclusion Multifocal IOL implantation achieves good quality of distance, intermediate, and near vision in patients with high myopia, improving their quality of life. Both 839MP and MF30 IOLs can provide good distance vision, but 839MP performs better in near and intermediate vision. However, for some patients with an extra-long optic axis, MF30 may be a good choice because of its wider range of degrees.

Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate the impact of a prolonged reading session on a smartphone screen on optical quality metrics and tear film stability. METHODS This prospective study was conducted in 41 healthy volunteers who were asked to read an article on a smartphone screen for 20 minutes. The following tests were performed before the reading task in this consecutive order and repeated after the reading task in the same order: automated noninvasive tear break-up time, optical quality assessment including Objective Scatter Index (OSI), modulation transfer function, Strehl ratio, and tear film dynamic analysis as follows: vision break-up time (VBUT) as a function of OSI changes within 20 seconds, using a double-pass aberrometer imaging system, and fluorescein tear break-up time (FBUT) measured using the slit lamp. RESULTS All break-up time-related parameters (noninvasive tear break-up time, FBUT and VBUT) were significantly reduced after the reading task (P < 0.01). The OSI was significantly worsened after the reading task (P = 0.01), whereas all the other optical quality metrics (modulation transfer function and Strehl ratio) slightly deteriorated, were not statistically significant. A significant correlation was found between the shortening of the FBUT, VBUT, and the worsening of the OSI (r = -0.33, P < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS A reading session on a smartphone screen in healthy subjects was found to significantly affect the tear film stability and objectively worsen the retinal image quality.

Abstract
Background To compare visual performance between the iris-fixated phakic intraocular len (pIOL) and implantable collamer len (ICL) to correct high myopia. Methods Twenty-four eyes underwent iris-fixated pIOL implantation and 24 eyes underwent ICL implantation. At the 6-month follow-up, the best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) and uncorrected distance visual acuity (UDVA) were compared between the iris-fixated pIOL and ICL groups. The objective scatter index (OSI), modulation transfer function (MTF) cutoff, and ocular aberrations were performed to evaluate postoperative visual quality between the two groups. Results No significant difference was found in UDVA, BCVA, and spherical equivalent between the iris-fixated pIOL and ICL groups (P > 0.05). Six months after surgery, the following values were significantly higher in the ICL group than in the iris-fixated pIOL group: MTF cutoff, strehl ratio and optical quality analysis system values at contrasts of 9 %, 20 %, and 100 % (P < 0.01). The OSI in the iris-fixated pIOL group was higher than in the ICL group 6 months after surgery (P < 0.01). All high-order aberrations were slightly more severe in the iris-fixated pIOL group than in the ICL group 6 months after surgery, although only trefoil (P = 0.023) differed significantly in this regard. Conclusions Both iris-fixated lenses and ICLs can provide good visual acuity. ICLs confer better visual performance in MTF-associated parameters and induce less intraocular light scattering than iris-fixated pIOLs.

Abstract
PURPOSE To compare visual quality between subjective tests and optical devices using near-infrared (NIR) light in patients implanted with monofocal, multifocal and enlarged depth-of-focus (EDoF) intraocular lenses (IOLs). METHODS Cross-sectional study enrolling patients aged between 55 and 75 (axial length between 22 and 25 mm) bilaterally implanted with Tecnis IOLs (Johnson & Johnson) four months previously: 40 patients (80 eyes) with monofocal ZCB00, 41 patients (82 eyes) with bifocal diffractive ZMB00 and 48 patients (96 eyes) with EDoF Symfony. They were examined using subjective and objective tests. The subjective tests comprised visual acuity (VA) with ETDRS charts, contrast sensitivity (CS) with Pelli-Robson and CSV-1000E tests, and clear vision range (CVR). The objective tests using NIR light were performed with the KR-1 W wavefront analyzer and the OQAS. RESULTS In the subjective tests, the monofocal group achieved the best outcomes in some of the VA and CS sections, while the bifocal group obtained the worst outcomes in some of the CS sections. In the objective tests, the bifocal group achieved the best results for VA and CS. Discrepancies between pseudoaccommodation range and CVR were found in the bifocal and EDoF groups. CONCLUSIONS Assessment of visual quality using NIR light implies greater bias for diffractive lenses than for EDoF lenses. This bias may be even greater with devices using longer light wavelengths or Hartmann-Shack technology. The difference in wavelength between NIR and visible light leads to dimming of near-vision focus and magnification of distance focus.

Abstract
Background A prospective cohort study was performed to evaluate whether the Optical Quality Analysis System (OQAS) can serve as a valuable additional indicator for appropriate posterior capsulotomy referral. Methods One hundred and five eyes from 96 patients undergoing capsulotomy were divided into precapsulotomy logMAR CDVA ≤0.1 group and logMAR CDVA > 0.1 group. CDVA, and the Visual Function 14 index (VF-14) score were estimated before and 1 month after capsulotomy. The objective scattering index (OSI) value was measured by using the OQAS. Posterior capsule opacification (PCO) severity was assessed with Evaluation of PCO 2000 (EPCO 2000) software. Results In logMAR CDVA > 0.1 group, the correlations of OSI, logMAR CDVA, EPCO score and VF-14 score were very strong preoperatively. In logMAR CDVA ≤0.1 group, preoperatively, OSI was correlated with logMAR CDVA (r = 0.451), EPCO score (r = 0.789), and VF-14 score (r = 0.852). LogMAR CDVA has weak correlation with VF-14 score (r = − 0.384) and EPCO score (r = 0.566). VF-14 score was correlated with EPCO score (r = − 0.669). In the logMAR CDVA ≤0.1 group, there was no significant difference in logMAR CDVA between precapsulotomy and postcapsulotomy (P > 0.05). In the two groups, all the other optical quality parameters were significantly improved after capsulotomy (P < 0.05). In logMAR CDVA > 0.1 group, the area under the curve of the ROC of the OSI was 0.996 (P = 0.000). In logMAR CDVA ≤0.1 group, the area under the curve of the ROC of the OSI was 0.943 (P = 0.000). Conclusions The OSI was useful for evaluating of PCO and prediction of beneficial capsulotomy. Especially for patients with slight PCO and better visual acuity, OSI is more valuable than CDVA and completely objective examination. Trial registration The study protocol was registered at the Chinese Clinical Trial Registry. Register: ChiCTR1800018842 (Registered Date: October 13th, 2018).

Abstract
Background To compare the visual performance of MF30 asymmetric refractive multifocal intraocular lenses (MIOLs) with ZMB00 all optic zone diffractive MIOLs. Methods This is a prospective study. Patients that underwent phacoemulsification were divided into two groups according to the type of MIOLs used: 35 patients were implanted with asymmetric refractive MIOLs and 35 patients with all optic zone diffractive MIOLs. Visual acuity (VA), refraction, defocus curves, objective optical quality, and a questionnaire evaluating quality of life were measured at 3 months postoperatively. Results There were no significant differences between the two groups in uncorrected distance visual acuity (UDVA), uncorrected near visual acuity (UNVA), best-corrected distance visual acuity (BCDVA), or distance-corrected near visual acuity (DCNVA). However, the uncorrected intermediate VA was 0.24±0.10 in the refractive group and 0.31±0.13 in the diffractive group (P<0.05), and the distance-corrected intermediate VA was 0.22±0.09 in the refractive group and 0.31±0.14 in the diffractive group (P<0.05). Defocus curves showed two peaks of maximum vision in both groups. However, the curve between the two peaks in the refractive group was smoother than that of the diffractive group. The modulated transfer function cut-off frequency was 22.74±12.29 c/d in the refractive group and 30.50±10.04 c/d in the diffractive group (P<0.05). The Optical Quality Analysis System (OQAS) values 100% (OV100%) was 0.75±0.41 in the refractive group and 1.02±0.34 in the diffractive group (P<0.05), while the OV20% was 0.52±0.34 in the refractive group and 0.71±0.25 in the diffractive group (P<0.05). There was no significant difference between the two groups in overall satisfaction, spectacle independence ratio, or visual interference phenomenon. Conclusions Both MIOLs achieve good VA at distance and near vision. Oculentis MF30 showed better intermediate VA, and Tecnis ZMB00 appears to have better objective visual quality. Trial registration NCT02234635 (http://www.clinicaltrials.gov).

Abstract
Purpose: To evaluate the relation of the tear film on the quality of vision comparing parameters in normal patients to those having dry eye disease. Methods: 50 normal and 50 eyes with dry eye disease (DED) were included in the study. Patients were screened for dry eye with Schirmer's test, tear break up time, ocular surface staining, and assessment of meibomian gland disease. Their quality of vision was assessed using the Optical quality analysis system (OQAS). The results of dry eye evaluation were correlated with the parameters on the OQAS especially the mean objective scatter index (OSI). Results: Patients with dry eye and unstable tear film were found to have a significantly worse quality of vision and optical scatter (P < 0.05). They were also noted to have fluctuation of vision between blinks. Conclusion: Tear film optics can have an important bearing on the quality of vision and quality of life. A detailed assessment preoperatively will help improve surgical outcomes and patient satisfaction.

Abstract
Purpose To investigate the corneal epithelial thickness topography with optical coherence tomography (OCT) and its relationship with vision quality in epithelial basement membrane dystrophy (EBMD). Methods 45 eyes of EBMD patients, 26 eyes of dry eye (DED) patients and 22 eyes of normal subjects were enrolled. All participants were subjected to 9-mm corneal epithelial mapping with OCT and vision quality was assessed with the optical quality analysis system using the objective scatter index (OSI). Central, superior, inferior, minimum, maximum, and standard deviation of epithelium thickness (Irregularity), were analysed and correlations with the OSI were calculated. Results The mean (±SD) central, inferior and maximum epithelial thicknesses of the EBMD patients (respectively, 56.4 (±8.1) μm, 58.9 (±6.4) μm, and 67.1 (±8.3) μm) were thicker compared to DED patients (P<0.05) and normal subjects (P<0.05). We found greater irregularity of epithelial thickness in EBMD (5.1±2.5 μm) compared to DED patients (2.6±1.0 μm) (P = 4.4.10−6) and normal subjects (2.1±0.7 μm) (P = 7.6.10−7). The mean OSI was worse in EBMD patients than in DED patients (P = 0.01) and compared to normal subjects (P = 0.02). The OSI correlated with the epithelial thickness irregularity (Spearman coefficient = 0.54; P = 2.65.10−5). Conclusions The OCT pachymetry map demonstrated that EBMD patients had thicker corneal epithelium in the central and inferior region. These changes were correlated with objective measurements of vision quality. This OCT characterisation of the EMBD provides a better understanding of the epithelial behaviour in this dystrophy and its role in vision quality.

Abstract
AIM To compare the visual performance of pseudophakic eyes implanted with A1-UV and SN60WF aspheric intraocular lens (IOL), and to investigate the correlations between visual quality parameters and pupil size. METHODS This prospective comparative study included 105 eyes of 90 patients with age-related cataract who underwent uneventful phacoemulsification. The subjects were divided into two groups according to the implanted IOL type. Three months postoperatively, visual acuity and contrast sensitivity were measured, wave-front aberrations were assessed using a KR-1W aberrometer (Topcon), and objective optical quality parameters were performed using an optical quality analysis system-OQAS II (Visiometrics). Independent sample t-test and Spearman correlation analysis were used for data analysis. RESULTS There were no significant differences found in visual acuity, contrast sensitivity and visual quality parameters between the two groups (P>0.05). The measured intraocular spherical aberration (SA) in A1-UV IOL eyes of -0.19±0.05 µm was close to the designed SA value of -0.20 µm. The modulation transfer function cutoff, Strehl ratio and OQAS values were negatively correlated with pupil size in both groups (P<0.01). CONCLUSION The subjective and objective visual quality in pseudophakic eyes with A1-UV and SN60WF IOLs are comparable. For aspheric IOL eyes, visual quality decreases with increasing pupil size.

Graefes Arch Clin Exp Ophthalmol 2020; 259:1651-1657. [PMID: 33128671 DOI: 10.1007/s00417-020-04987-z] [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: 07/07/2020] [Revised: 09/23/2020] [Accepted: 10/20/2020] [Indexed: 10/23/2022] Open
Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate the agreement between subjective high and low contrast visual acuity (VA) and predicted values from double-pass system measurements in healthy candidates to laser refractive surgery. METHODS Ninety-two eyes measured during the preoperative screening to laser refractive surgery were included in this retrospective analysis. High contrast subjective visual acuity (HCVA) and low contrasts at 20% (LCVA20) and 9% (LCVA9) were compared with the predicted VA obtained with a commercial double-pass system (OQAS) at the same levels of contrast, 100% (OV100), 20% (OV20), and 9% (OV9). The agreement was evaluated with Bland-Altman analysis computing the limits of agreement (LoAs) and the correlations with the spearman rho. RESULTS An underestimation of VA was obtained with the double-pass system for the highest contrast. Differences between predictive and subjective measurements were statistically significant for 100% contrast (- 0.08 logMAR, p < 0.0005), but not for 20% (- 0.03 logMAR, p = 0.07) and 9% (- 0.02 logMAR, p = 0.9) of contrasts. The LoAs increased with the decrease of contrast from 0.29 with 100% to 0.39 logMAR with 9% of contrast. A weak correlation was obtained between subjective and predicted VA (rho ≤ 0.33) that was only significant for 100% (p = 0.001) and 20% (p = 0.004) contrasts. CONCLUSION Mean differences between methods were reasonably small so mean results obtained for predicted VA in OQAS studies can be considered as reliable, at least in healthy subjects and for low contrast. However, limits of agreement were considerably poor which means that OQAS cannot replace individual subjective measurements of VA in clinical practice.

Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate the clinical outcomes of laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) using a new approach for the calculation of the ablation profile based on wavefront vertexing from pupil plane to corneal. METHODS One hundred eyes of 50 patients (age, 21-41 years) with low and moderate myopia were enrolled in this prospective case series. All of them underwent topography-integrated wavefront-guided (TI-WFG) LASIK using the STAR S4IR excimer laser platform (Johnson & Johnson Vision). Visual, refractive, ocular aberrometric, ocular scattering index (OSI) and patient satisfaction outcomes were evaluated after a 90-day follow-up period. Astigmatic changes were evaluated by vector analysis. RESULTS A significant reduction in sphere and cylinder (p < .001) was observed, with a significant improvement in uncorrected (UDVA) and corrected distance visual acuity (CDVA) (p < .001). Postoperative spherical equivalent was within ±0.50 and ±1.00 D in 91.1% (82/90) and 98.9% (89/90) of eyes, respectively. UDVA was 20/20 or better in 98.9% (89/90) of eyes. A total of 50.0% (45/90) of eyes gained 1 line of CDVA. Mean postoperative astigmatic correction index and angle of error were 1.01 ± 0.56 and 0.17 ± 0.18º. Postoperative high-order aberrometric coefficients were below 0.50 μm in 92.2% (83/90) of eyes. Mean postoperative OSI was 0.71 ± 0.44. All patients referred to be satisfied with the final outcomes and would recommend the procedure to their friends and relatives. CONCLUSIONS TI-WFG LASIK is a new approach for myopia and myopic astigmatism correction, with preservation of the ocular optical quality and high level of patient satisfaction associated.

Abstract
Purpose: To evaluate the optical quality of highly myopic eyes under light and dark conditions and correlate it with other relevant parameters. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional, observational study was performed on 180 eyes of 90 highly myopic patients (29 males and 61 females; mean age: 27.833 ± 0.364 years [range: 18-45 years]). The modulation transfer function (MTF) cutoff frequency, Strehl ratio, objective scattering index (OSI), and predicted visual acuity (PVA; 100%, 20%, and 9%) under different lighting conditions were measured to evaluate the optical quality, which was correlated with probable relevant factors, including, axis length, spherical equivalent (SE), uncorrected distance visual acuity (UDVA), best-corrected distance visual acuity (BDVA), astigmatism, and corneal curvature. The relationship between these visual parameters and optical quality was analyzed using a generalized linear model. Results: The OSIs were 1.241 ± 0.068 and 1.515 ± 0.076; the MTF cutoff frequencies were 37.725 ± 0.559 and 30.238 ± 0.550 cpd; the Strehl ratios were 0.219 ± 0.004 and 0.175 ± 0.003; and the PVAs at 100%, 20%, and 9% were 1.257 ± 0.019 and 1.001 ± 0.018, 0.949 ± 0.017 and 0.719 ± 0.015, and 0.579 ± 0.011 and 0.439 ± 0.010, under bright and dark conditions respectively. The optical quality parameters were correlated with age, SE, BDVA, corneal astigmatism, and curvature to different degrees under different lighting conditions. Conclusions: The optical quality declined in highly myopic eyes under both bright and dark lighting conditions. SE, BDVA, corneal astigmatism, and curvature were correlated with optical quality to different degrees under different lighting conditions.

Abstract
Purpose The purpose of this study is to evaluate and compare the correlation between changes in vision and HD Analyzer dual-pass metrics versus changes in vision and conventional subjective slit lamp gradings in pseudophakic patients with posterior capsular opacity undergoing neodymium:yttrium-aluminum-garnet (Nd:YAG) capsulotomy. Patients and Methods High contrast (HC) and low contrast (LC) best spectacle-corrected distance visual acuity (BCVA) and HD Analyzer evaluation were prospectively performed on patients with mild-to-moderate posterior capsular opacification (PCO) and monofocal and accommodating intraocular lens implants. Differences between pre- and post-operative measurements were calculated, along with the correlation of HD Analyzer metrics and slit lamp grading to changes in visual acuity. Results Following Nd:YAG capsulotomy (n=29), there was statistically significant improvement in HC-BCVA and LC-BCVA, decrease in optical scatter, and corresponding improvement in Strehl ratio and HD Analyzer values at all contrast levels tested (p≤0.05). Pearson test showed a high correlation between the improvement in HC-BCVA (r coefficient = 0.78) and LC-BCVA (r coefficient = 0.71) to the improvement in Objective Scatter Index (OSI). There was a higher correlation of change in HC-BCVA to pre-op OSI (r2=0.61) than to the subjective PCO grading score (r2 = 0.19). There was also a higher correlation of change in LC-BCVA to pre-op OSI (r2 = 0.49) than to subjective grading (r2 = 0.16). Conclusion The HD Analyzer provides objective measurements of forward light scatter (ie, light directed towards the retina) that can assist with both PCO grading and prediction of improvement of visual quality after YAG laser capsulotomy with higher accuracy than conventional slit lamp assessment based upon backscatter (ie, light traveling to the observer) in patients tested with monofocal and accommodating intraocular lens implants.

Abstract
Purpose The study aimed to evaluate the visual quality of forme fruste keratoconus (FFK) and mild and moderate keratoconus by using an optical quality analysis system II (OQAS-II) and to explore the correlation between optical quality parameters and the disease progression. Methods Twenty-one normal eyes, twenty-one FFK eyes, twenty-one mild keratoconus eyes, and twenty-one moderate keratoconus eyes were included in this prospective study. The optical quality parameters, such as object scatter index (OSI), modulation transfer function cutoff (MTF cutoff), strehl ratio (SR), and OQAS-II values at contrasts of 100% (OV-100), 20% (OV-20), and 9% (OV-9), were measured by OQAS-II. The repeatability of these parameters was analyzed by intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC), repeatability coefficient (RC), and coefficient of variation (CVw). Correlations between optical quality parameters and mean central keratometry readings (Kmean) were evaluated. The sensitivity and specificity of the parameters were analyzed using the receiver operating characteristic (ROC). Results All the optical quality parameters among four groups showed good repeatability (all ICC≥0.75). The MTF cutoff, SR, OV-100, OV-20, OV-9 in FFK, mild and moderate keratoconus eyes were significantly lower than those in the normal group (all P < 0.05). The ROC analyses of the MTF cutoff, SR, OV-100, OV-20, and OV-9 showed significant area under the curve (AUC) in discriminating FFK form normal, mild keratoconus from FFK, and moderate keratoconus from mild keratoconus (all P < 0.05). The ROC analyses of the MTF cutoff, SR, OV-100, OV-20, and OV-9 showed significant area under the curve (AUC) in discriminating FFK form normal, mild keratoconus from FFK, and moderate keratoconus from mild keratoconus (all P < 0.05). The ROC analyses of the MTF cutoff, SR, OV-100, OV-20, and OV-9 showed significant area under the curve (AUC) in discriminating FFK form normal, mild keratoconus from FFK, and moderate keratoconus from mild keratoconus (all P < 0.05). The ROC analyses of the MTF cutoff, SR, OV-100, OV-20, and OV-9 showed significant area under the curve (AUC) in discriminating FFK form normal, mild keratoconus from FFK, and moderate keratoconus from mild keratoconus (all P < 0.05). The ROC analyses of the MTF cutoff, SR, OV-100, OV-20, and OV-9 showed significant area under the curve (AUC) in discriminating FFK form normal, mild keratoconus from FFK, and moderate keratoconus from mild keratoconus (all Kmean) were evaluated. The sensitivity and specificity of the parameters were analyzed using the receiver operating characteristic (ROC). r = −0.710, P < 0.05). The ROC analyses of the MTF cutoff, SR, OV-100, OV-20, and OV-9 showed significant area under the curve (AUC) in discriminating FFK form normal, mild keratoconus from FFK, and moderate keratoconus from mild keratoconus (all Conclusion The repeatability of OQAS-II is good in measuring visual quality of normal as well as FFK, mild, and moderate keratoconus. The visual quality of the FFK, mild, and moderate keratoconus is worse than that in normal eyes. The OQAS-II has the potential value in screening FFK from normal eyes and might be a useful tool for evaluating the progression of keratoconus.

Abstract
SIGNIFICANCE This study suggests that despite having comparable best-corrected visual acuity and normal fundus appearance, objective measurements of optical quality showed that patients with diabetes but without overt retinopathy may have impaired visual function. Screening using the Optical Quality Analysis System might help identify those patients. PURPOSE Visual impairments are common in diabetes, but the status of the problem is unclear before the development of diabetic retinopathy. The aim of this pilot study was to investigate the optical quality and intraocular scattering in the diabetic eye without diabetic retinopathy. METHODS Twenty-seven patients with diabetes without diabetic retinopathy were enrolled. Twenty-seven age- and sex-matched healthy volunteers served as a control group. Optical quality parameters included modulation transfer function cutoff frequency, Strehl (two-dimensional) ratio, and Optical Quality Analysis System values at 100, 20, and 9 contrast levels. The objective scatter index was assessed using the Optical Quality Analysis System. Correlations were analyzed between the modulation transfer function cutoff, Strehl ratio, objective scatter index, and Optical Quality Analysis System value, and the age of the patient and the duration of diabetes mellitus. RESULTS The diabetic group exhibited lower modulation transfer function cutoff, Strehl ratio, and Optical Quality Analysis System values at 100, 20, and 9% contrast levels and higher objective scatter index than did the controls (all, P < .01). There were no associations between the optical quality parameters and age or the duration of diabetes mellitus in the diabetic participants (all, P > .05). Moderate associations were found between all parameters obtained from the Optical Quality Analysis System and age in the control group (all, P < .01). CONCLUSIONS This pilot study suggests that optical quality was reduced, and intraocular scattering increased in the diabetic eye without diabetic retinopathy compared with controls.

Optical quality in low astigmatic eyes with or without cylindrical correction. Graefes Arch Clin Exp Ophthalmol 2019; 258:451-458. [PMID: 31641885 DOI: 10.1007/s00417-019-04501-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/12/2019] [Revised: 08/12/2019] [Accepted: 09/29/2019] [Indexed: 10/25/2022] Open
Abstract
PURPOSE To investigate whether optical quality could be improved by cylindrical correction for low astigmatic eyes with different amounts and axis orientations in patients with myopia up to - 3.00 diopters (D). METHODS A cross-sectional study enrolling healthy young eyes with 0 to - 3.00 D myopia and - 0.50 to - 0.75 D myopic astigmatism was implemented. With a repeated-measures design, outcome measures were sequentially obtained for each subject under two correction modalities: spherocylindrical correction and spherical correction. Subjective refraction was used to determine the refractive prescriptions accordingly in the two correction modalities to obtain optimal subject-reported visual acuity. Primary outcomes were optical quality parameters including objective scatter index (OSI), modulation transfer function (MTF) cut-off, Strehl ratio (SR), and a simulated contrast visual acuity-optical quality analysis system (OQAS) values (OV) obtained by a double-pass system. Corrected distance visual acuity (CDVA) was measured as a secondary outcome. Outcome comparisons between the two correction modalities were performed by grouping in different amounts (- 0.50 D, - 0.75 D) and axes (with the rule, WTR; against the rule, ATR; oblique, OBL) of astigmatism. RESULTS A total of 194 eyes of 194 subjects were evaluated. Significantly better CDVA were shown by spherocylindrical correction for all types of astigmatism except for - 0.50 D WTR astigmatism (P = 0.831). For eyes with - 0.50 D WTR astigmatism, better outcome was only shown in OSI with spherocylindrical correction (P = 0.019). For eyes with - 0.50 D ATR and OBL astigmatism, spherocylindrical correction demonstrated better outcomes in all parameters except for SR (P > 0.05). For eyes with - 0.75 D astigmatism, significantly better outcomes in all optical quality parameters were shown with spherocylindrical correction regardless of the axis (P < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS Eyes with ATR or OBL myopic astigmatism may benefit in optical quality and visual acuity by combining a cylindrical correction even with a low amount down to - 0.50 D. However, optical quality and visual acuity improvement are limited for WTR astigmatic eyes when the amount of astigmatism is less than - 0.75 D.

Abstract
PURPOSE To assess optical quality dynamics using a double-pass (DP) system in patients with dry eye disease (DED). METHODS Seventy-six eyes with DED and 44 control subjects were enrolled in this study. Each patient underwent ocular surface evaluation including fluorescein corneal staining and Schirmer's II test. Ocular Surface Disease Index (OSDI) questionnaire was used to assess subjective symptoms. Optical quality dynamics and tear film instability was analyzed using a DP system (HD AnalyzerTM, Visiometrics, Spain). Mean objective scatter index (OSI), maximum and minimum OSI, difference between maximum and minimum OSI (ΔOSI) were recorded with 40 consecutive scans over 20 s. RESULTS The DED group had pronounced impairment of optical quality compared to the control group. Mean OSI (4.29±4.07), minimum (3.22±3.51) and maximum (5.72±4.52) OSI, ΔOSI (2.50±1.96), OSDI score (36.94±16.55), and fluorescein corneal staining (0.79±0.96) were statistically significantly higher than controls (p<0.05). Schirmer's II test was statistically significantly lower in the DED group compared to controls (10.08±7.85, 26.41±6.75, respectively; p<0.001). Three patterns of dynamic changes of OSI were proposed: ladder (continuous increase of OSI), seesaw (instability of OSI without improvement after blinking), and plateau (steady-high OSI). The ladder group showed the highest value of maximum OSI (6.93±4.13; p=0.03) and ΔOSI (3.76±2.08; p<0.001). CONCLUSION DP imaging system provides an objective measurement of the visual quality in DED. Tear film instability may be assessed by dynamic changes of OSI over 20 s. In particular, the highest OSI values were observed in the ladder pattern group.

Abstract
BACKGROUND To compare the postoperative optical quality in eyes with customized selection and random selection of aspheric intraocular lens (IOL) implantation. METHODS A prospective, nonrandomized study was implemented in adult cataract patients who underwent unilateral phacoemulsification with aspheric IOL implantation. Patients were allocated into two treatment groups: a customized group and a control group. In the customized group, the aspheric IOL selection was based on the corneal spherical aberration to enable the postoperative target ocular spherical aberration closest to zero; in the control group, the aspheric IOLs were chosen using a random strategy. Primary outcome measurements included the following objective optical quality assessments: higher-order aberrations obtained by a Hartmann-shack aberrometer at 4 mm and 6 mm pupil diameters; objective scatter index (OSI), modulation transfer function (MTF) cut-off, Strehl ratio (SR) and a simulated contrast visual acuity-optical quality analysis system value (OV) obtained by a double-pass system with a 4-mm aperture. Subjective visual acuity was measured as secondary outcome. All the patients were followed up for 3 months. RESULTS Eighty-four patients in the customized group and 78 patients in the control group were evaluated. There was no significant difference in postoperative visual acuity between the two groups (P > 0.05). Significantly less ocular higher-order aberrations were shown in the customized group (P < 0.05). No significant difference was shown in OSI, MTF cut-off, SR and OV between the two groups (P > 0.05). CONCLUSIONS Although customized selection of aspheric IOL implantation showed less postoperative ocular aberrations, it performed similarly to random selection of aspheric IOL implantation in terms of postoperative visual acuity, simulated contrast visual acuity, intraocular scatter, modulation transfer function and Strehl ratio.

Abstract
Purpose: To compare the visual and optical quality of eyes implanted with three aspheric versus two spherical intraocular lenses (IOL) after cataract surgery. Methods: This prospective comparative study included 349 eyes of 349 patients with age-related cataract and undergone uneventful phacoemulsification. Implanted posterior monofocal IOLs have an aspheric optic (Tecnis ZCB00 [Johnson & Johnson Vision], Acrysof IQ SN60WF [Alcon], Akreos AO [Bausch & Lomb]) or a spherical optic (Akreos [Bausch & Lomb], Sensar AR40e [Johnson & Johnson Vision]). Postoperatively, objective optical quality parameters were performed using an Optical Quality Analysis System II (Visiometrics), and wave-front aberrations were assessed using a KR-1W aberrometer (Topcon). Meanwhile, subjective visual acuity was performed using a logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution chart at 3 months after cataract surgery. Results: Statistical significant differences (P < .05) across all groups were found regarding intraocular and total ocular spherical aberration (SA) at 4.0 mm and 6.0 mm pupil diameter and total high-order aberration (tHOA) at 6.0 mm pupil diameter. Furthermore, differences among the evaluated groups were observed regarding several objective parameters such as objective scatter index (OSI), modulation transfer function cutoff (MTF cutoff), Strehl ratio (SR) at two dimensions and contrast visual acuity (OV) at three contrast levels. Conclusions: The present results reflect the optical characteristics of IOL in vivo. The scattering light and high-order aberration may be the main reasons for the degradation of retinal imaging quality in comparing different aspheric to spherical IOL implants.

Abstract
BACKGROUND To compare the influence of posterior capsule opacification (PCO) morphology and severity on intraocular stray light and visual function with different levels of contrast. METHODS Forty-five patients diagnosed with PCO were included in this prospective consecutive case series. The Optical Quality Analysis System II (OQAS II) was adopted to assess the objective visual function including objective scatter index (OSI) and optical quality analysis system values (OVs) with 100, 20, and 9% contrast. RTVue-100 OCT was used to evaluate the PCO morphology and severity. Comparisons among visual function, morphology, and severity between pear type and fibrosis PCO were performed. The correlations among the PCO morphology, severity, OSI, and OVs were also determined. RESULTS There was a significant correlation between increased OSI and decreased visual acuity in PCO patients before laser capsulotomy. The changes of OSI were also correlated with the PCO area for the 3 mm IOL optic region (r = 0.43, p = 0.02). The OSI was significantly higher in pear type PCO when compared with fibrosis PCO (Z = - 4.06, p ≤ 0.001). In addition, the increased OSI in pear type PCO was significantly correlated with the 100% OVs and the 20% OVs but not with the 9% OVs. In fibrosis PCO, OSI was only correlated with the 100% OVs and the 20% OVs pre-YAG. CONCLUSIONS OSI and OVs could objectively indicate the visual function impairment in PCO patients. Effects of PCO on light scattering and on objective visual function might be explained by the variations of morphology and severity.

Abstract
Purpose To assess the changes and the diurnal variation of visual quality after orthokeratology in myopic children. Methods Forty-four eyes of 22 subjects with a mean age of 10.55 ± 1.53 years (8 to 14 years) were enrolled in this prospective study. Their spherical equivalent ranged from -1.25 to -4.25 diopters (D) and astigmatism was less than 1.00 D. Parameters including corneal curvature, ocular objective scatter index (OSI), the modulation transfer function (MTF), root mean square of ocular and corneal wavefront aberrations, and contrast sensitivity function (CSF) were measured before and at two time points during the same day after 1 month of orthokeratology. Results After orthokeratology, uncorrected visual acuity (UCVA) and spherical equivalent were significantly improved from baseline (P < 0.001), and their diurnal variation was not significant (P=0.083, 0.568). OSI increased from 0.29 ± 0.15 to 0.65 ± 0.31 (P < 0.001). MTF decreased significantly (P < 0.01). Corneal curvature and ocular total aberration decreased (P < 0.001), while the ocular and corneal higher-order aberration increased significantly (P < 0.01). The CSF under photopic condition decreased at 3 cpd (P=0.006) and increased at 18 cpd (P=0.012). The diurnal variation of CSF at 18 cpd under mesopic and high glare conditions and at 12 cpd under photopic condition was significant (P=0.002, 0.01, 0.017). Conclusions Orthokeratology can effectively improve UCVA and high spatial frequency CSF by decreasing the low-order aberrations. However, MTF and CSF at low spatial frequency decreased because of the increase of intraocular scattering and high-order aberrations. Meanwhile, CSF at high spatial frequency fluctuates significantly at two times during the same day after 1 month orthokeratology.

Abstract
Purpose: To map the time course of changes in intraocular straylight of the human eye 1 year after initial lens wearing for orthokeratology treatment using the objective double-pass technique. Materials and Methods: A total of 35 subjects (19 males and 16 females) completed the study. The mean age was 11.46 ± 2.33 years (range, 8-16 years). All subjects were fitted with spherical four-zone orthokeratology lenses following the procedures recommended by the lens manufacturer. The subjects were required to wear the lens for at least eight consecutive hours at night. After lens removal during the daytime, objective scattering index (OSI) was evaluated using the double-pass technique (OQAS-II, Visiometrics, Terrassa, Spain) prior to lens dispatch (baseline), followed by evaluations at 1 week, 1 month, 6 months, and 12 months after the initial lens wearing. Longitudinal changes were fitted to a model containing both an impairing and recovery component, and the results were based on an extrapolation between the visits. Results: OSI rose quickly following lens wearing, reaching its highest level (double that of baseline values) by approximately 1.47 months. However, the recovery phase was slow and modest. One year after the initial lens wearing, OSI exhibited a 20% recovery from the peak level, but remained 63% higher than the baseline level. Conclusions: Intraocular straylight immediately increased flowing lens wearing, and this change reaches maximal level around 1 month after lens wearing. Slow but significant recoveries of optical quality subsequently followed.

Abstract
PURPOSE: To quantify ocular light scattering in patients under treatment with intraocular pressure-lowering eye-drops. METHODS: In this prospective, observational, cross-sectional case series study, 160 eyes of 160 patients with primary open angle glaucoma or primary ocular hypertension were consecutively recruited from our Glaucoma Department over 7 months. In total, 46 eyes of 46 healthy volunteers matched for age and sex served as the control group. The variables recorded in a single visit were as follows: drug and number of drops per day, treatment duration, OXFORD corneal staining grade, lower tear meniscus height as measured by spectral domain optical coherence tomography, ocular redness and non-invasive tear breakup time measured with the Oculus Keratograph 5M, ocular surface disease index questionnaire score and objective scatter index through a double-pass technique (Optical Analysis System II). RESULTS: Objective scatter index was higher in the patient group (3.1, interquartile range = 1.8-5.47) than in the control group (1.95; interquartile range = 0.7-5; p = 0.017). In a multiple linear regression model, non-invasive tear breakup time was identified as the most influential variable on light scatter (mean ratio = -1.015; p = 0.003; 95% confidence interval = -1.025 to -1.005). No correlation with objective scatter index was observed for number of daily eye-drops, preservative concentration or treatment duration. CONCLUSION: Participants on anti-glaucoma medication showed a significantly higher objective scatter index than control group individuals. In the treated patient group, a lower non-invasive tear breakup time was associated with a higher objective scatter index. This suggests that lubricating eye-drops to improve tear breakup time could also improve vision quality in these patients by diminishing light scattering.

Abstract
PURPOSE To compare objective optical quality, ocular scattering and aberrations of eyes implanted with an aspheric monofocal intraocular lens (IOL) or an aspheric apodized diffractive multifocal IOL three months after surgery. METHODS Prospective consecutive nonrandomized comparative cohort study. A total of 80 eyes from 57 cataract patients were bilaterally or unilaterally implanted with monofocal (AcrySof IQ SN60WF) or multifocal (AcrySof IQ ReSTOR SN6AD1) IOLs. Respectively, 40 eyes of 27 patients were implanted with monofocal IOLs, and 40 eyes of 30 patients were implanted with multifocal IOLs. Ocular high-order aberration (HOA) values were obtained using Hartmann-Shack aberrometer; objective scatter index (OSI), modulation transfer function (MTF) cutoff, Strehl ratio (SR), and contrast visual acuity OV at 100%, 20%, and 9% were measured using Objective Quality Analysis System II (OQAS II). RESULTS Ocular aberrations performed similar in both groups (p > 0.05). However, significantly higher values of OSI and lower values of MTF cutoff, SR and OV were found in the SN6AD1 group (p < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS Both ocular scattering and wave-front aberrations play essential role in retinal image quality, which may be overestimated when only aberrations were taken into account. Combining the effect of ocular scattering with HOA will result in a more accurate assessment of the visual and optical quality.

Abstract
AIM To evaluate the impact of spherical and aspherical intraocular lenses on the postoperative visual quality of age-related cataract patients using Optical Quality Analysis System (OQAS). METHODS Seventy-four eyes with age-related cataracts were randomly divided into spherical and aspherical lens implantation groups. Best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) was measured preoperatively, one day, one week, two weeks, one month and two months after surgery. A biometric systems analysis using the OQAS objective scattering index (OSI) was performed. RESULTS There were no significant differences in visual acuity (P>0.05) before and after spherical and aspheric lens implantation. There was a negative linear correction between the OSI value and BCVA (r=-0.634, P=0.000), and positive corrections between the OSI value and the lens LOCUS III value of nucleus color (NC), nucleus opacity (NO), cortex (C) and posterior lens capsular (P) (r=0.704, P=0.000; r=0.514, P=0.000; r=0.276, P=0.020; r=0.417, P=0.000, respectively). OSI values of spherical vs aspherical lenses were 11.5±3.6 vs 11.8±3.4, 4.1±0.9 vs 3.3±0.8, 3.5±0.9 vs 2.7±0.7, 3.3±0.8 vs 2.6±0.7, 3.2±0.7 vs 2.5±0.8, and 3.2±0.8 vs 2.5±0.8 before and 1d, 1, 2wk, 1 and 2mo after surgery, respectively. All time points varied significantly (P<0.01) between the two groups. CONCLUSION Aspherical IOLs does not significantly affect visual acuity compared with spherical IOLs. The OSI value, was significantly lower in the aspherical lens group compared with the spherical lens. This study shows that objective visual quality of aspheric IOLs is better than that of the spherical lens by means of OQAS biological measurement method.

Abstract
The advances in new techniques for correcting presbyopia, such as a small aperture combined with monovision, require an in-depth study of binocular aspects. In this work, we have studied binocular visual performance of 12 subjects after inducing different degrees of anisocoria combined with two different add powers in the non-dominant eye. We have analysed visual performance in terms of the visual-discrimination capacity (a function to evaluate the strength of bothersome halos) and the contrast-sensitivity. The results show a deterioration of the binocular vision when inducing anisocoria and with any add power, with a higher perception of halos, a lower contrast sensitivity and poorer binocular summation of these visual functions on increasing anisocoria. This deterioration is clinically acceptable in the case of low add power, since positive binocular summation is maintained in contrast sensitivity, and visual discrimination is not altered.

Abstract
Purpose. To evaluate the predictability of lens shift induced by pilocarpine (LSPilo) on the outcomes of accommodating intraocular lens (Acc-IOL) implantation. Methods. Twenty-four eyes of 24 senile cataract patients who underwent phacoemulsification and Acc-IOL implantation were enrolled. LSPilo was evaluated with anterior segment optical coherence tomography (AS-OCT). At 3 months postoperatively, the best corrected distance visual acuities (BCDVA), distance-corrected near visual acuities (DCNVA), and subjective and objective accommodations were measured. IOL shifts under accommodation stimulus (IOLSAcc) were evaluated with AS-OCT. Results. The mean LSPilo was 112.29 ± 30.72 µm. LSPilo was not associated with any preoperative parameters. The mean IOLSAcc was 130.46 ± 42.71 µm. The mean subjective and objective accommodation were 1.54 ± 0.39 D and 1.27 ± 0.41 D, respectively. The mean postoperative BCDVA and DCNVA (log MAR value) were 0.22 ± 0.11 and 0.24 ± 0.12, respectively. LSPilo positively correlated with IOLSAcc (r = 0.541; P = 0.006), subjective accommodation (r = 0.412; P = 0.022), and objective accommodation (r = 0.466; P = 0.045), respectively. Conclusion. LSPilo is an independent preoperative parameter associated with the postoperative Acc-IOL mobility and pseudophakic accommodation. It may offer valuable information for ophthalmologists in determining the suitable candidates for Acc-IOL implantation.

Abstract
PURPOSE To study the role of intra-operative cap repositioning in acute visual recovery after small incision lenticule extraction (SMILE). MATERIALS AND METHODS Ninety-four eyes of 47 patients underwent the SMILE procedure for correction of myopic refractive error. Manifest refraction and visual quality parameters (optical quality analysis system) were evaluated before surgery. The Bowman's membrane was imaged using a handheld spectral domain optical coherence tomography device. All patients underwent an uneventful SMILE surgery by a single experienced surgeon. Intra-operative cap repositioning was done in the "right" eye of all patients (repositioned group) and the "left" eye of each patient served as controls (non-repositioned group). Visual acuity and optical quality were assessed 1 day and 1 week after surgery. RESULTS Bowman's membrane microdistortions were found in 21.3% of eyes in the repositioned group and 59.57% of the eyes in the non-repositioned group (p = 0.003) on the first day after surgery. Comparison of optical quality parameters was carried out between eyes where repositioning was done and control eyes (with and without microdistortions). On the first day after surgery, the modulation transfer function (MTF) and Strehl's ratio (SR) were significantly better in the repositioned group when compared with the controls (p = 0.002 and p = 0.003, respectively). Refractive error and lenticule thickness in eyes with microdistortions were similar (p > 0.05) between the two groups indicating other contributors to acute optical quality postoperatively. CONCLUSIONS Although the refractive error before surgery determines the extent of microdistortions, intra-operative cap repositioning can reduce them, thereby expediting acute visual recovery after SMILE.

METHODS Fifty patients (50 eyes) having phacoemulsification and IOL implantation surgery were enrolled. 25 patients were implanted with all optic zone diffractive multifocal IOL and 25 patients with monofocal IOL. Objective optical quality parameters under 4 mm pupil using Optical Quality Analysis System (OQAS), subjective visual acuity (VA) at 85 cd/m2 luminance and questionnaire concerning halo and visual function were assessed. RESULTS The multifocal group gained similar objective optical outcomes, such as OQAS values at contrast 100%, 20%, 9%, modulation transfer function cut-off and Strehl ratio, as the monofocal group. Objective scatter index (OSI) was significantly better in the monofocal group. Distance corrected near VA, uncorrected near VA, distance corrected intermediate VA and uncorrected intermediate VA were significantly better in the multifocal group. The difference in uncorrected distance VA and best corrected distance VA between the monofocal and multifocal groups was not significant. Mild halos and glare were reported in both groups and a significant difference between the two groups was not observed; however, moderate glare and halos were reported only in the multifocal group (2/25). There was no significant difference between the two groups when visual function was compared. CONCLUSIONS All optic zone diffractive multifocal IOLs provided almost the same objective optical quality as monofocal IOLs did under 4 mm pupil besides good all distance visual performance, but with greater OSI, indicating that implantation provides good optical quality in daytime but with more intraocular scatter light. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER NCT02234635, post-results.
