Update and guidance on management of myopia : European Society of Ophthalmology in cooperation with International Myopia Institute
2021
The prevalence of myopia is increasing extensively worldwide. The number of people with myopia in 2020 is predicted to be 2.6 billion globally, which is expected to rise up to 4.9 billion by 2050, unless preventive actions and interventions are taken. The number of individuals with high myopia is also increasing substantially and pathological myopia is predicted to become the most common cause of irreversible vision impairment and blindness worldwide and also in Europe. These prevalence estimates indicate the importance of reducing the burden of myopia by means of myopia control interventions to prevent myopia onset and to slow down myopia progression. Due to the urgency of the situation, t…

Subjective Satisfaction in Long-term Orthokeratology Patients
2013
Purpose: To AU3 evaluate the subjective satisfaction in visual stability, night vision complains, and light distortion phenomena, and also the number of hours and days per week of lens wear, in patients with myopia undergoing orthokeratology (OK) treatment for at least 1 year. Methods: A visual analog scale (VAS) questionnaire containing 18 items was administered to 44 patients, 29 women and 15 men (mean age, 24.39 6 9.11 years), with a baseline spherical equivalent refractive error of 22.40 6 0.94 diopters and astigmatism up to 20.5 diopters. Average treatment period by the time of data collection was 19 6 7 months. Patients rated their satisfaction with the correction, with complaints of …
Visual quality differences between orthokeratology and LASIK to compensate low-moderate myopia.
2013
PURPOSE: To assess the differences in visual performance between orthokeratology (ortho-k) and laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) for the treatment of low-to-moderate myopia. METHODS: An adaptive optics visual simulator (Imagine Eyes) was used to simulate the wavefront aberration patterns induced by ortho-k and LASIK for low and moderate myopia on 10 healthy eyes. Visual acuity (VA) at 100%, 50%, and 10% contrast levels and contrast sensitivity (CS) at 10, 20 and 25 cycles per degree (cpd) were then measured for 3- and 6-mm pupil sizes. RESULTS: Differences in VA for 3-mm pupil diameter were not found between ortho-k and LASIK. For 6-mm pupil size, LASIK provided significantly better VA v…
OCT applications in contact lens fitting
2022
Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) is a noninvasive, high-speed, high-resolution imaging technology based in the Michaelson interferometry. A near-infrared light beam is used to register the intensity variations for the light backscattered on each sample layer. Due to the high repeatability on corneal measurements, spectral domain OCT (SD-OCT) is the gold standard when talking about in vivo, non-invasive anterior segment imaging. Changes in the morphology of various ocular surfaces such as the cornea, conjunctiva, limbus or tear film with soft (SCL), rigid, corneal or scleral lens (SL) wear can be described by OCT measurements. For instance, evaluation of the corneoscleral region is essenti…
Ortokeratoloģijas pielietojums miopijas progresēšanas kontrolei skolas vecuma bērniem
2017
Bakalaura darbs ir uzrakstīts latviešu valodā uz 36 lapām. Tas satur 25 attēlus, 1 tabulu un 20 literatūras avotus. Pētījuma mērķis ir nodemonstrēt, Ortho-K lēcu lietošana var palēlināt miopijas progresēšanu skolas vecuma bērniem, kuriem ir miopija. Pētījumā piedalījās 28 bērni (vidējais vecums 10 ± 2 gadi) ar vidējo miopijas lielumu -3,15 D ± 1,43 D (astigmātisms mazāks par 1,00 D) ārstēšanas sākumā. Miopijas progresēšana tika novērota vienu gadu pirms Ortho-K lēcu lietošanas un 3 gadus, lietojot Ortho-K lēcas. Rezultāti rāda, ka vidējais miopijas progresēšanas apjoms pirms Ortho-K lēcu lietošanas bija -0,86 D ± 0,53 D gada laikā un tas nozīmīgi (p << 0,0001) samazinājās līdz -0,04 D ± 0,1…
Short-Term Changes in Light Distortion in Orthokeratology Subjects
2015
Purpose. Quantifying adaptation to light distortion of subjects undergoing orthokeratology (OK) for myopia during the first month of treatment. Methods. Twenty-nine healthy volunteers (age: 22.34 ± 8.08 years) with mean spherical equivalent refractive error −2.10 ± 0.93D were evaluated at baseline and days 1, 7, 15, and 30 of OK treatment. Light distortion was determined using an experimental prototype. Corneal aberrations were derived from corneal topography for different pupil sizes. Contrast sensitivity function (CSF) was analyzed for frequencies of 1.50, 2.12, 3.00, 4.24, 6.00, 8.49, 12.00, 16.97, and 24.00 cpd under photopic conditions. Results. Average monocular values of all light di…
Corneal Aberrations, Contrast Sensitivity, and Light Distortion in Orthokeratology Patients: 1-Year Results.
2016
Purpose. To evaluate the corneal higher-order aberrations (HOA), contrast sensitivity function (CSF), and light distortion (LD) in patients undergoing orthokeratology (OK). Methods. Twenty healthy subjects (mean age: 21.40 ± 8 years) with mean spherical equivalent refractive error M = −2.19 ± 0.97 D were evaluated at 1 day, 1 month, and 1 year after starting OK treatment. Monocular LD, photopic monocular CSF, and corneal HOA for 6 mm pupil size were measured. Results. LD showed an increase after the first night (𝑝 0.05). Spherical-like, coma-like, and secondary astigmatism HOA RMS increased significantly (𝑝 ≤ 0.022) from baseline to 1-month visit, remaining unchanged over the follow-up. C…
Ortokeratoloģijas lēcas dizaina ietekme uz acs aksiālā garuma izmaiņām.
2020
Maģistra darbs ir uzrakstīts angļu valodā uz 59 lapaspusēm. Tas satur 24 attēlus, 3 tabulas un 85 literatūras atsauces. Pētījuma mērķis bija novērtēt miopijas kontroles ortokeratoloģijas lēcu formas un optiskās zonas platuma ietekmi uz miopijas progresijas mazināšanu. Darbā tika analizēti 12 bērnu ar augstu miopijas pakāpi ortokeratoloģijas rezultāti, iegūti kopā no 19 acīm. Tika salīdzinātas acs aksiālā garuma izmaiņas, bērniem nēsājot parastas ortokeratoloģijas lēcas un lietojot specializētās miopijas kontroles ortokeratoloģijas lēcas. Rezultāti parādīja, ka specializētās ortokerotoloģijas lēcas daudz efektīvāk samazina acs aksiālā garuma palielināšanos nekā parastās lēcas. Atslēgas vārdi…
Ortokeratoloģijas ietekme uz ceturtās kārtas aberācijām.
2020
Maģistra darbs ir uzrakstīts angļu valodā uz 36 lapaspusēm. Tas satur 7 attēlus, 7 formulas, 7 tabulas, 3 grafikus un 38 literatūras atsauces. Darba mērķis bija novērtēt radzenes sagitālā augstuma un leņķa, kā arī ceturtās kārtas aberāciju izmaiņas pēc ortokeratoloģijas lēcu lietošanas. Pētījumā tika analizēti radzenes topogrāfijas dati, iegūti no 30 acīm, trīs mēnešus lietojot ortokeratoloģijas lēcas. Rezultāti neuzrādīja būtiskas izmaiņas ceturtās kārtas aberāciju lielumos. Modificējot ortokeratoloģijas lēcu parametrus, ir iespējams saglabāt labu redzes asumu un skotopisko redzi pēc ortokeratoloģijas lēcu lietošanas.
