Abstract

Digital photogrammetry was performed on stereophotographs of the optic nerve head of a modified Zeiss model eye in which optic cups of varying depths could be simulated. Experiments were undertaken to determine the impact of both photographic and ocular variables on the photogrammetric measurements of cup depth. The photogrammetric procedure tolerates refocusing, repositioning, and realignment as well as small variations in the geometric position of the camera. Progressive underestimation of cup depth was observed with increasing myopia, while progressive overestimation was noted with increasing hyperopia. High cylindrical errors at axis 90 degrees led to significant errors in cup depth estimates, while high cylindrical errors at axis 180 degrees did not materially affect the accuracy of the analysis. Finally, cup depths were seriously underestimated when the pupil diameter was less than 5.0 mm.

Wavefront-guided ablation: evidence for efficacy compared to traditional ablation.

PURPOSE: To provide an evidence-based overview of wavefront-guided refractive surgery outcomes, benefits, and limitations. DESIGN: Literature review. METHODS: Review of FDA study reports and indexed, peer-reviewed literature. RESULTS: More than 400 reports investigating wavefront applications in refractive surgery exist, but studies comparing the outcomes of wavefront-guided treatment with conventional treatment are few in number. Available studies do not overwhelmingly demonstrate superior visual results attributable to a wavefront-guided approach. CONCLUSIONS: While wavefront-guided refractive surgery provides excellent results, evidence is limited that it outperforms conventional laser in situ keratomileusis that incorporates broad ablation zones, smoothing to the periphery, eye-trackers, and other technological refinements. However, it is evident that wavefront-customized ablation holds a promising future and merits ongoing investigation.

Changes in corneal power and refraction due to sequential suture removal following nonmechanical penetrating keratoplasty in eyes with keratoconus.

PURPOSE: To assess the changes in corneal power and refraction due to sequential suture removal after penetrating keratoplasty (PK). DESIGN: Retrospective consecutive case series. METHODS: setting: Clinical practice. study population: We studied 67 phakic keratoconus eyes (central excimer laser trephination, primary keratoplasty, graft/recipient diameter 8.1/8.0 mm; double running suture) in this longitudinal study. main outcome measures: Zeiss keratometry (equivalent power (KEQ), astigmatism (KAST)), corneal topography (equivalent power (TEQ), astigmatism (TAST)) and subjective refractometry (spherical equivalent (SEQ), refractive cylinder (RAST)) were assessed with sutures in place (interval 1), with one suture out (interval 2), and with all sutures out (interval 3). observation procedure: Corneal power and refraction was decomposed into vector components and the changes were derived between time stages. RESULTS: The mean follow-up period was 3.9+/-1.7 years. At interval 1, the axes of KAST/TAST/RAST were almost randomly distributed. At interval 2, the with/against the rule component of KAST/TAST/RAST decreased slightly and the oblique component increased significantly, so that the axes tended to have a preferred oblique direction. At interval 3, the with/against the rule component of KAST/TAST/RAST increased slightly and the oblique component decreased significantly, so that the with/against the rule component exceeded the oblique component by approximately 23%/28%/25%. Median KEQ/TEQ/SEQ changed by 0.64/0.62/-1.11 diopters (interval 1 to interval 2) and by -0.85/-0.90/1.56 diopters (interval 2 to interval 3). CONCLUSIONS: As a result of removal of the first running suture, corneal astigmatism as well as the refractive cylinder tend to oblique axes. As a result of removal of the second running suture, the final corneal astigmatism and refractive cylinder tend to orientation axes with/against the rule.
