Abstract
Small incision lenticule extraction (SMILE) is an "all-in-one" surgical method for refractive correction. An advantage of the SMILE over traditional surgery is that it depends on the corneal cap's design. This review discusses the morphological evaluation of the corneal cap, selection of the corneal cap with different thickness and diameters, influence of the corneal cap design on retreatment, and management of corneal cap-related complications. The following points should be recognized to define the correct morphology and design of the operation-related parameters of the corneal cap during SMILE: (1) the thickness and diameter of the corneal cap are predictable and influence postoperative visual quality, (2) the change in anterior surface curvature of the corneal cap should be considered in the design of nomogram value, (3) for patients with moderate myopic correction, early visual quality is better with a 6.9-mm than with a 7.5-mm diameter corneal cap, (4) there is no significant difference in visual quality or biomechanics among corneal caps with different thickness; (5) primary corneal cap thickness plays an important role in the SMILE retreatment, (6) a 7.78-mm diameter corneal cap has a greater risk of suction loss than a 7.60-mm diameter corneal cap, (6) if suction loss occurs when lenticular scanning exceeds 10%, then SMILE can be continued by changing corneal cap thickness, (7) preventive collagen cross-linking with SMILE caps are 90-120 μm thick and 7-7.8 mm in diameter, and (8) properly treating SMILE-related complications ensures better postoperative results. The data presented herein shall deepen the understanding of the importance of the corneal cap during SMILE and provide diversified analysis for personalized operational design of corneal cap parameters.

Repeatability and reproducibility of post-mortem central corneal thickness measurements using a portable optical coherence tomography system in humans: a prospective multicenter study. Sci Rep 2020; 10:14508. [PMID: 32879365 PMCID: PMC7468231 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-020-71546-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 22] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/03/2020] [Accepted: 08/18/2020] [Indexed: 12/02/2022] Open
Abstract
To assess the repeatability and reproducibility of post-mortem central corneal thickness (CCT) measurements made by the portable iVue spectra-domain (SD) optical coherence tomography OCT (Optovue Inc, Fremont, CA) system in humans, and to prospectively establish the time-course of CCT after death. In a prospective multicenter setting, CCT measurements were obtained from 58 human eyes at the following 16 time-points after death: immediately (within 2 h), and at each hour by the next 17 h. The range of CCT values for each subject was determined and longitudinal data were used to illustrate the variation in open and close eye mode. All measurements were made by two independent and well-trained examiners for session. Main outcome measures were intraclass correlation coefficients (ICC), repeatability and reproducibility coefficients, and coefficients of variation of the average central (0–2 mm). Overall, a total of 5,568 OCT measurements were performed by examiners. The repeatability coefficient varied from 0.3 to 1.7% and the reproducibility coefficient varied from 0.3 to 1.6% throughout the entire experimental time frame. Furthermore, the values of the different ICCs were also high during the different postmortem intervals, thus demonstrating the excellent repeatability and reproducibility of the present OCT approach. When CCT measurements were analyzed longitudinally, corneal thickness showed different behavior based on the open or close eye mode. The present study demonstrates that portable OCT imaging can be reliably used for corneal pachymetric measurements in supine subjects and during the post mortem period, i.e. without visual fixation and normal physiology/architecture of examined tissues.

Abstract
PURPOSE The aim of this study was to report the distributions and demographic correlations of corneal epithelial thickness measured by manual electronic caliper spectral domain optical coherence tomography in preoperative refractive surgery patients. DESIGN This was a retrospective review. METHODS The charts of 218 consecutive patients (413 eyes) who presented for refractive surgery evaluation from April 2013 through September 2013 were retrospectively reviewed. RESULTS The mean corneal epithelial thickness was 51.0 μm with a range of 43 to 61 μm. Corneal epithelial thickness was significantly correlated with sex (P < 0.0001), corneal keratometry (P = 0.01), and underlying corneal thickness excluding the epithelium (P = 0.0268). No significant associations were identified in which corneal epithelial thickness correlated with either age (P = 0.0760) or existing refractive status of the eye (P = 0.5135). CONCLUSIONS Corneal epithelial thickness measured by manual electronic caliper optical coherence tomography in preoperative refractive surgery patients is comparable with the findings for the general population using other measurement techniques, the awareness of which may be useful in the preoperative assessment of these patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Refractive stability is influenced by alterations in corneal curvature and corneal thickness after laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK). The aim of this study was to analyze the changes of central corneal thickness (CCT) and refractive error following thin-flap LASIK surgery in Chinese eyes. METHODS One hundred and fifty-eight myopic patients (302 eyes) who underwent thin-flap LASIK surgery were prospectively evaluated. CCT was measured by non-contact specular microscopy before, and 1 day, 1 week, and 1, 3, and 6 months following surgery. Age, refractive error, and optic zone diameter were also recorded. RESULTS Preoperatively, the mean CCT was 531.6 ± 24.3 μm. At 1 day, 1 week, and 1, 3, and 6 months after surgery, mean CCTs were 431.4 ± 38.4 μm, 422.6 ± 3 7.8 μm, 427.2 ± 38.0 μm, 434.4 ± 38.2 μm, and 435.6 ± 38.0 μm, respectively. Significant changes were detected in CCT values at each time point after thin-flap LASIK treatment (P < 0.05). The mean preoperative spherical equivalent (SE) was -5.73 ± 2.30 diopters (D). At 1 day, 1 week, and 1, 3, and 6 months after surgery, it was 0.26 ± 0.58 D, 0.54 ± 0.52 D, 0.49 ± 0.53 D, 0.45 ± 0.49 D, and 0.37 ± 0.42 D, respectively. The spherical equivalent refraction at 6 months postsurgery was close to the predicted value (0.34 ± 0.30 D). The changes in CCT within 6 months (4.06 ± 9.99 μm) were negatively correlated with age, preoperative refractive error, and optical zone diameter, respectively (r = -0.180, P < 0.05; r = -0.187, P < 0.001; r = -0.171, P < 0.05, respectively). No significant correlation was found between CCT changes and SE changes at different time points, postoperatively. CONCLUSIONS CCTs decreased significantly at 1 day after surgery, and continued to decline at 1 week after surgery, then increased over time. From postoperative 1 week, SE over time continually shifted to the myopic side.

Abstract
This study is designed to evaluate the visual outcomes, accuracy, and predictability of corneal flaps with different thicknesses created by 60-kHz femtosecond laser according to different corneal thicknesses in the patients with low and moderate refractive error. A total of 182 eyes were divided according to the central corneal thickness (470 μm-499 μm in Group A, 500 μm-549 μm in Group B, and 550 μm-599 μm in Group C) and underwent femtosecond laser-assisted LASIK for a target corneal flap thickness (100 μm for Group A, 110 μm for Group B, and 120 μm for Group C). Uncorrected distance visual acuity (UDVA), corrected distance visual acuity (CDVA), and refractive status were examined. The flap thickness of each eye was measured by anterior segment optical coherence tomography (AS-OCT) on 30 points at 1-month follow-up to assess the accuracy and predictability. Postoperatively, at least 75% of eyes had a UDVA of 20/16 or better, less than 2% of eyes lost one line, over 30% of eyes gained one or more lines in CDVA, at least 95% of eyes had astigmatism of less than 0.25 D, all eyes achieved a correction within ± 1.00 D from the target spherical equivalent refraction. The visual and refractive outcomes did not differ significantly in all groups (P >0.05). The mean flap thickness was 100.36 ± 4.32 μm (range: 95-113 μm) in Group A, 111.64 ± 3.62 μm (range: 108-125 μm) in Group B, and 122.32 ± 2.88 μm (range: 112-128 μm) in Group C. The difference at each measured point among the three groups was significant (P < 0.05). The accuracy and predictability were satisfactory in all three groups. In conclusion, this customized treatment yielded satisfactory clinical outcomes with accurate and predictable flap thickness for patients with low and moderate refractive error.

Abstract
Purpose To investigate the morphology of corneal caps in femtosecond laser small incision lenticule extraction (SMILE) and its relation to the refractive outcomes. Methods A prospective study of fifty-four corneal caps created with VisuMax femtosecond laser were examined using an Fourier-domain optical coherence tomography at 1 day, 1 week, 1 month and 6 months after SMILE. The cap thickness at nine points on each of the four meridians (0°, 45°, 90°, 135°) and the diameter were measured. Cap morphology, changes over time and its correlation with refractive outcomes were assessed. Results The mean achieved central cap thickness were (108.74±5.06) µm at 6 months and (107.32±4.81 ) µm at 1 month postoperatively, significantly thinner than that at 1 day (110.81±7.95) µm and 1 week (109.58±7.48 ) µm (P<0.05). The mean diameter on 0° meridian was (7.61±0.07) mm, significantly larger than that on 90° meridian (7.57±0.06) mm (P = 0.001). Cap morphology showed good regularity, except that the differences of points in two pairs were significant at 1 day postoperatively. The uniformity was consistent over time and the central cap thickness was thinner than those in the paracentral and peripheral areas. The refractive outcomes stabilized within 1 month. Uncorrected distance visual acuity (UDVA) was correlated to the central cap thickness at 1 day and 1 week (both rs = 0.33, p<0.05). The uniformity index was correlated with UDVA (rs = 0.34, p<0.05) and corrected distance visual acuity (rs = 0.32, p<0.05) at 1 week postoperatively. Conclusions Corneal caps of SMILE are predictable with good reproducibility, regularity and uniformity. Cap morphology might have a mild effect on refractive outcomes in the early stage. Further study should focus on the impact on the visual quality.

Effect of hemodialysis (HD) on intraocular pressure, ocular surface, and macular change in patients with chronic renal failure. Effect of hemodialysis on the ophthalmologic findings. Graefes Arch Clin Exp Ophthalmol 2012; 251:153-62. [PMID: 22552572 DOI: 10.1007/s00417-012-2032-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 44] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/05/2012] [Revised: 03/18/2012] [Accepted: 04/03/2012] [Indexed: 10/28/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The main objective of hemodialysis (HD) is to correct the excessive accumulation and abnormal distribution of body fluid. Therefore, changes in the systemic hemodynamic parameters and in the ocular fluid volume and composition can occur during a single HD session. The aim of this study is to evaluate the short-term changes in the ophthalmologic findings after HD. METHODS Thirty eyes of 30 patients with chronic renal failure (CRF) undergoing HD were analyzed. The subjects were categorized into two groups according to the cause of CRF. Detailed ophthalmologic examinations were performed immediately before and after HD. The relationships between the systemic hemodynamic changes and the ophthalmologic changes during a single HD session were evaluated. RESULTS The results show that a body fluid correction after HD involves a change in the plasma colloid osmotic pressure. The mean intraocular pressure (IOP) decreased after HD with a mean decrease of 2.4 ± 2.1 mmHg and the central corneal thickness decreased with a mean change of 6.9 ± 5.4 μm. After HD, the ocular surface changed significantly; the tear break-up time (TBUT) and basal tear secretion (Schirmer's test) decreased, whereas the keratoepitheliopathy score increased. The macular thickness measured by spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) decreased after HD. The mean decrease in the central subfield thickness was 7.4 ± 9.9 μm. The ocular surface changes after HD affected the visual acuity and examination quality. A significant correlation was found between the changes in the systemic hemodynamic parameters and those in the ophthalmologic findings, except for the retinal thickness. CONCLUSIONS The changes in the ophthalmologic findings after HD were consistent and significant in all CRF subjects. These changes correlated with the increase in plasma colloid osmotic pressure. HD can correct the volume and composition of ocular fluid. Therefore, it can affect the ophthalmologic findings in a short period of time. In addition, for good examination quality, it is recommended that an ophthalmologic examination in CRF patients be performed on a non-dialysis day or prior to HD on a dialysis day. Furthermore, for accurate comparison of examination results, the time interval from an HD session to an ophthalmologic examination must be considered.

Abstract
PURPOSE To assess the degrees of agreement in measuring corneal thickness in normal eyes between 2 noncontact systems based on the dual Scheimpflug system (Galilei; Ziemer) and rotating Scheimpflug imaging (HR Pentacam; Oculus) and also between each of these methods and the gold-standard method of ultrasound pachymetry. METHODS In a prospective study, measurement agreement was assessed in 47 eyes of 47 healthy subjects. All eyes were examined with each of the 3 devices. Measurements made with the Galilei and HR Pentacam were compared with those made with ultrasound. The central corneal thickness (CCT) and thinnest pachymetry of the Galilei and HR Pentacam were also compared. RESULTS The mean values of CCT obtained from Galilei, HR Pentacam, and ultrasound were 560.57 ± 29.10, 542.31 ± 30.50, and 548.61 ± 29.92 μm, respectively. The 95% limits of agreement of each of these devices with ultrasound were -11.03 and +34.94 μm for the Galilei and -33.67 and +20.74 μm for the Pentacam. The 95% limits of agreement of Galilei with Pentacam in measurement of central and thinnest corneal thickness were -3.39 and +33.11 and -10.40 and +27.29 μm, respectively. Although CCT measurements made with the HR Pentacam were thinner (P < 0.001), and those obtained with Galilei were thicker (P < 0.001) than those made with ultrasound, there were significant correlation between Galilei and ultrasound (r = 0.92; P < 0.0001) and between HR Pentacam and ultrasound (r = 0.89; P < 0.0001). The central and thinnest corneal thickness measurements made with the HR Pentacam were thinner (P < 0.0001) than those made with Galilei, but there was a significant correlation between Galilei and HR Pentacam in measuring CCT (r = 0.96; P < 0.0001) and thinnest corneal thickness (r = 0.95; P < 0.0001). Bland-Altman plots showed good agreement between these methods. CONCLUSIONS Although differences between the devices were statistically significant, there was good correlation and agreement between Galilei and Pentacam in measuring central and thinnest corneal thickness. The corneal thickness measurements made with the HR Pentacam and Galilei also showed good correlation and agreement with those made with ultrasound.

Abstract
PURPOSE To compare ultrasound (US) pachymetry, Orbscan, and optical coherence tomography (OCT) measurements of the central corneal thickness (CCT) before laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) and evaluate the reproducibility of flaps created with the IntraLase femtosecond laser (IntraLase, Inc.) using OCT. SETTING Department of Ophthalmology, IIsan Paik Hospital, Goyang, Korea. METHODS Central corneal thickness was measured using OCT, US pachymetry, and Orbscan in 59 eyes of 30 patients before femtosecond laser LASIK. The postoperative corneal flap thickness, measured using OCT, was compared with the preoperative intended thickness. RESULTS Optical coherence tomography, US pachymetry, and Orbscan measurements provided similar CCT values (P>.05). Corneal thickness values obtained using US or Orbscan correlated well with those obtained by OCT, with the correlation coefficient ranging from 0.804 to 0.889 (P<.05). The OCT measurements showed no significant difference between the postoperative flap thickness and the intended flap thickness (P>.05). CONCLUSIONS Optical coherence tomography was comparable to US pachymetry and Orbscan in cornea thickness measurement. Optical coherence tomography was easy and relatively accurate to use preoperatively and in the early postoperative period. The femtosecond laser created highly reproducible flaps that corresponded with the preoperative intended thickness.

Abstract
PURPOSE To compare central corneal thickness (CCT) measurements made by ultrasound pachymetry and non-contact specular microscopy in eyes before and post laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK). METHODS Forty eyes of 20 consecutive refractive surgery candidates were included in this study. The CCT in both eyes was measured before and 3 months after LASIK with a non-contact specular microscope and a ultrasound pachymeter. RESULT Both before and after LASIK, the difference of the mean CCT between non-contact specular microscopy and ultrasound pachymetry was statistically significant (P < 0.001 before surgery, and P = 0.02 after surgery). The difference between them was -14.41 microm and -3.69 microm, respectively. In both situations, non-contact specular microscopy and ultrasound pachymetry measurements were highly correlated (r = 0.959, before surgery, and r = 0.979 after LASIK). Bland-Altman analysis showed that either before or post LASIK, the 95% limits of agreement have a span of approximately 30 microm. Preoperatively, the mean standard deviation of repeated measurements was 4.26 microm by ultrasound pachymetry, and 4.02 microm by non-contact specular microscopy, whereas it was 3.83 microm by ultrasound pachymetry, and 3.89 microm by non-contact specular microscopy, postoperatively. No statistically significant differences were found between the mean standard deviations by these two devices in both situations (P = 0.561 before surgery, and P = 0.849 after LASIK). CONCLUSIONS Both before and after LASIK, non-contact specular microscopy is not in complete agreement with ultrasound pachymetry in measuring CCT. Both devices provided comparable repeatability of measurements.

Abstract
PURPOSE To determine the agreement in central corneal thickness (CCT) measurements between the gold standard method of ultrasound (US) pachymetry (UP-1000, Nidek) and 2 noncontact systems based on Scheimpflug imaging (Pentacam, Oculus) and scanning-slit topography (Orbscan II, Bausch & Lomb) in myopic eyes before and after laser refractive surgery. SETTING Noor Vision Correction Center, Tehran, Iran. METHODS In this prospective study, 30 consecutive patients having refractive surgery for myopia were enrolled. All 60 eyes were examined with the 3 devices preoperatively and 6 weeks after surgery; the US measurements were performed last. The Pentacam and Orbscan II CCT readings were compared with the US readings. Both the original and corrected Orbscan II readings were used in the analyses. RESULTS The mean CCT readings with US, Pentacam, and Orbscan II were, respectively, 555 microm, 548 microm, and 580 microm before surgery and 478 microm, 468 microm, and 474 microm after surgery. Preoperatively, the 95% limits of agreement (LoA) with US were -31 microm and +19 microm for the Pentacam device and -5 microm and +57 microm for the Orbscan II device. Postoperatively, the LoA were -40 microm and +19 microm and -51 microm and +50 microm, respectively. Corrected Orbscan II measurements gave 95% LoA of -48 microm and +6 microm before surgery and -85 microm and +5 microm after surgery. CONCLUSIONS Refractive surgery had a modest effect on the agreement between Pentacam readings and US measurements. With Orbscan II, the 95% LoA width nearly doubled after surgery. Although the Pentacam seems to show better agreement than Orbscan II, especially after refractive surgery, it is not advisable to use the 3 devices interchangeably in every clinical situation.
