Optical quality after instillation of eyedrops in dry-eye syndrome
2010
Purpose To study the effect of eyedrop instillation on the optical quality of the air–tear film interface at the anterior cornea in cases of dry eye. Setting University of Valencia, Valencia, Spain. Methods Corneal aberrations (total, spherical-like, and coma-like) were determined from corneal elevation maps and purpose-designed software in cases of dry eye before, immediately after, and 10 minutes after lubricating eyedrop instillation (Blink Intensive Tears). All data were decomposed using Zernike polynomials to yield the root-mean-square wavefront deviations for pupil diameters of 3.0 mm and 5.5 mm. Outcome measures included comparison with clinical tear breakup time (TBUT). Results Wave…
Evaluation of intraocular pressure and other biomechanical parameters to distinguish between subclinical keratoconus and healthy corneas
2021
(1) Purpose: To assess the main corneal response differences between normal and subclinical keratoconus (SCKC) with a Corvis® ST device. (2) Material and Methods: We selected 183 eyes of normal patients, of a mean age of 33 ± 9 years and 16 eyes of patients with SCKC of a similar mean age. We measured best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) and corneal topography with a Pentacam HD device to select the SCKC group. Biomechanical measurements were performed using the Corvis® ST device. We carried out a non-parametric analysis of the data with SPSS software (Wilcoxon signed rank-test). (3) Results: We found statistically significant differences between the control and SCKC groups in some corneal b…
