Effect of age in the ciliary muscle during accommodation: Sectorial analysis
2017
Abstract Purpose To compare changes in the ciliary muscle area at different sectors between pre-presbyopic and presbyopic eyes during accommodation by means of an anterior segment optical coherence tomographer (OCT). Methods The anterior ciliary muscle area was measured in 20 healthy and phakic pre-presbyopic eyes, whose mean age was 23.3 ± 4.4 years, and in 20 healthy and phakic presbyopic eyes, whose mean age was 46.5 ± 5.2 years. The relative change in the cross-sectional area of the ciliary muscle was measured at the nasal, inferior, and temporal sectors between 0 and −3 D of vergence, in −1 D step. A linear model was used to assess the correlation of each eye parameter with the accommo…
Repeatability assessment of biometric measurements with different refractive states and age using a swept-source biometer
2018
Background We aim to assess if refractive error or age may influence the repeatability of measurements using a swept-source biometer. Methods A total of 61 subjects were evaluated with IOLMaster 700 acquiring measurements of axial length (AL), central corneal thickness (CCT), white-to-white distance (WTW), anterior aqueous depth (AQD), lens thickness (LT), and keratometry (K) readings. Repeatability was evaluated classifying the sample according to the refractive state and age by the calculation of the within-subject standard deviation (Sw), coefficient of repeatability, and intraclass correlation coefficient. Results Very similar Sw was acquired among groups for AL, CCT, and WTW. Differenc…
Perceived Racial/Ethnic Discrimination and Psychological Outcomes Among Adult International Adoptees in Finland: Moderating Effects of Social Support…
2015
Quantitative literature on international adoptees and racial/ethnic discrimination is lacking despite results in qualitative studies from Europe and the United States that have consistently indicated how racism constantly complicates adoptees' everyday lives. To advance the literature, the present study examined the prevalence of perceived racial/ethnic discrimination among 213 adult international adoptees in Finland (59.6% women and 40.4% men, mean age 24.1 years), and the association between perceived racial/ethnic discrimination and psychological well-being indicators, including psychological distress and sleeping problems. In addition, we examined social support and sense of coherence a…
Reproducibility of optical biometry using partial coherence interferometry: intraobserver and interobserver reliability
2001
Abstract Purpose: To evaluate the intraobserver and interobserver variability in axial length (AL), anterior chamber depth (ACD), and corneal radius measurements using an optical biometry instrument based on partial coherence interferometry (PCI). Setting: Johannes Gutenberg University, Mainz, Germany. Methods: In this observational case series and interobserver reliability trial, 30 healthy, emmetropic to moderately myopic eyes of 15 volunteers were evaluated. The AL, ACD, and corneal radius were measured 20 times in 10 eyes by 1 observer to evaluate the intraobserver variability. To evaluate the interobserver variability, the measurements were taken in 20 eyes by 5 different observers. Me…
Ocular biometric repeatability using a new high-resolution swept-source optical coherence tomographer.
2020
To assess the repeatability of ocular biometric parameters using a high-resolution imaging device.74 healthy right eyes were included in this study. Five-repeated measurements were taken with ANTERION high-resolution swept-source optical coherence tomographer (SS-OCT) to measure: corneal thickness (central and at 2, 4 and 6-mm diameters), aqueous depth (AD), lens thickness (LT), anterior chamber volume (ACV), axial length (AL), and pupil (diameter and position). The intrasubject standard deviation (SWe have not found statistically significant differences between repeated measurements (p 0.05). The mean difference for corneal thickness was between -0.08 and 0.28 μm. For AD and LT was 0.004 …
Repeatability of whole-cornea measurements using an anterior segment imaging device based on OCT and Placido-disk
2017
Current advances in refractive surgery require high accuracy of corneal measurements. We aim to evaluate the repeatability of topographic measurements using an integrated Placido disk - OCT device.Thirty right eyes of thirty healthy and young subjects were included. The topographic parameters of simulated keratometry, asphericity, minimum pachymetry, white-to-white distance, spherical aberration and corneal elevation were studied. Three measurements were taken by the same observer using the Visante omni device. The coefficient of repeatability (CoR), coefficient of variation (CoV) and intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) were calculated to assess the repeatability. The Bland-Altman grap…
Reproducibility and Daytime-Dependent Changes of Corneal Epithelial Thickness and Whole Corneal Thickness Measured With Fourier Domain Optical Cohere…
2016
To evaluate the reproducibility of Fourier domain anterior segment optical coherence tomography (RTVue) based on repeated measurements of corneal thickness (CT) and epithelial thickness (ET) and to test daytime-dependent changes of these parameters.Twenty-three eyes from 23 healthy volunteers were included in this prospective study. Three clinical observers performed 3 consecutive measurements each of CT and ET in 3 sessions using RTVue, resulting in 9 measurements per session. Session 1 was performed at 9 AM ± 1 hour, session 2 at 4 PM ± 1 hour on the same day, and session 3 at 9 AM ± 1 hour 2 days later. CT and ET were assessed in 9 areas: corneal vertex, 4 paracentral zones, and 4 periph…
CORRELATION OF OPTICAL COHERENCE TOMOGRAPHY PATTERN AND VISUAL RECOVERY AFTER VITRECTOMY WITH SILICONE OIL FOR RETINAL DETACHMENT
2006
PURPOSE: To assess prospectively the features of the macular surface in silicone oil-filled eyes after surgery by analyzing whether silicone oil affects optical coherence tomography (OCT) measurements and their reproducibility and whether a statistical correlation exists between postoperative best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) and foveal thickness measured by OCT. METHODS: Twenty eyes of 20 patients underwent vitrectomy with silicone oil tamponade for retinal detachment. After vitrectomy, complete ophthalmic examination including determination of BCVA and OCT was performed to quantify the visual recovery and the foveal thickness. RESULTS: Ophthalmoscopy revealed that the retina appeared to…
Association of Birth Weight With Foveolar Thickness in Adulthood: Results From a Population-Based Study
2021
Purpose Low birth weight (BW) is associated with alterations of foveal shape development in childhood—leading to an increased retinal thickness of the fovea. The aim of the present study was to assess whether BW has a long-term effect on foveal retinal thickness (RT) and is still present in adulthood. Methods In the German population-based Gutenberg Health Study (GHS), participants were examined with spectral-domain optical coherence tomography. The association between self-reported BW and RT in the foveolar and perifoveal locations was assessed. Multivariable linear regression analyses with adjustment for potential confounders and grading of foveal hypoplasia were performed. Results Overal…
Evaluation of the anterior chamber angle in keratoconus and normal subjects.
2015
To evaluate the anterior chamber angle in keratoconus eyes by use of the Visante™ OCT and Orbscan™ II.Anterior chamber angle was measured with the Visante™ OCT and Orbscan™ II in 52 subjects, 26 KC subjects and 26 age and control subjects.When comparing the nasal and temporal angles obtained with the two techniques no correlation was found (R(2) always below 0.01) in either the control subjects or in the KC subjects. Despite this, there was an overall statistically significant difference in mean anterior chamber angles (p0.001) between Visante™ OCT and Orbscan™ II. There was no statistical difference (p0.05) between nasal and temporal anterior chamber angles when comparing controls and KC s…
