Abstract

The here presented work describes a surface profiling technique, for which the term closed-loop optical coherence topography (CLOCT) was proposed [1]. This technique is a scanning beam, servo-locked variation of low-coherence interferometry. It allows for the sub-wavelength-resolution tracking of a weakly scattering macroscopic-scale surface with the absence of significant real-time computational overhead and is thus particularly well suited to real-time surface profiling of in vivo, macroscopic biological surfaces.

The variable expression of keratoconus within monozygotic twins: dundee University Scottish Keratoconus Study (DUSKS).

INTRODUCTION: As part of a longitudinal observational prospective study (Dundee University Scottish Keratoconus Study, DUSKS) a caucasian female subject was identified with keratoconus affecting both corneas. Of interest was that the subject's mother was a monozygotic twin, however, the mother was reportedly unaffected by keratoconus, although her sister (the subject's aunt) had been diagnosed with keratoconus. METHOD: Computer video-keratoscopy (CVK) was undertaken was on this family to clarify this apparent discordance. RESULTS: CVK demonstrated the variable expression of the keratoconic phenotype, by identifying evidence of subclinical keratoconus in the 'unaffected' twin. CONCLUSION: So far only one set of monozygotic twins with keratoconus have been reported within the UK, this paper reports a second. Since CVK has been available the majority agree on concordance of keratoconus expression but not all, including this study. If monozygotic twin studies demonstrate heterogeneity of keratoconus this may at least explain the contradictory data that exists within the literature and why the inheritance pattern of keratoconus is still unclear in 2005.

Comatic aberration as a cause of monocular diplopia.

Three patients (5 eyes) presented with complaints of monocular diplopia and no history of ocular trauma or surgery. The patients had comprehensive neuroophthalmic evaluation including manifest refraction, anterior segment and dilated fundus examination, and corneal topography. All patients also had wavefront analysis using the LADARWave system (Alcon). Two patients (4 eyes) also had hard contact lens overrefraction. The patients had a normal initial examination including corneal topography. One patient (2 eyes) did not experience resolution of diplopia with pinhole. No eye improved with manifest refraction or hard contact lens overrefraction. However, each patient had a significant amount of coma on wavefront analysis. Moreover, eyes with horizontal diplopia had horizontal coma and eyes with vertical diplopia had vertical coma as measured with the wavefront device. Higher-order optical aberrations such as coma may be associated with monocular diplopia. Wavefront technology may be useful in the workup of monocular diplopia.

Use of Verisyse iris-supported phakic intraocular lens for myopia in keratoconic patients.

We report 2 patients with stable keratoconus and high myopia who benefited from implantation of an iris-supported phakic intraocular lens (Verisyse, AMO) for correction of their refractive error. Both patients had a postoperative uncorrected visual acuity of 20/40. Endothelial cell density showed at most a 4% decrease, and no evidence of keratoconus progression was witnessed. The use of the Verisyse lens may be beneficial for certain keratoconic patients as an alternative step between rigid gas-permeable lenses and penetrating keratoplasty.
