The effect of wearing RGP on the anterior surface of the cornea was discussed to provide guidance for clinical refractive error correction.METHODS: The study objects were 24 eyes from 24 patients. All patients underwent identical examination procedures prior to lens use, as well as afterwards, including slit-lamp examination, non-contact tonometer measurement, computer optometry and corneal curvature measurement, subjective refraction test, and corneal topography analysis. The patients wore contact lenses everyday for 1 month and then discontinued. Corneal topographies were recorded at certain time points of 30 minutes, 1 day, 3, 7 and 14 days following use.RESULTS: Total corneal aberration at each time point following discontinued use of RGP contact lenses was less than the time point prior to use. Detailed results were as follows: root mean square (RMS) (pre)=(1.438± 0.328)μm, RMS (30 minutes) =(1.076 ±0.355)μm, RMS (1 day) =(1.362 ±0.402)μm, RMS (3 days) =(1.373 ±0.398)μm, RMS (7 days) =(1.387 ±0.415)μm, and RMS (14 days) = (1.430±0.423)μm. Results showed that at 30 minutes after discontinued use of RGP contact lenses, almost all 2 ndand 3 rd-order aberrations change. Quadrafoil Z10 and spherical Z12 of the 4 th-order were also changed. Alterations to Z5, Z6, and Z12 at 1 day after discontinued use were significant differences compared with the time period prior to RGP use: Z5 and Z6 decreased, and Z12 increased slightly. Z5 and Z6 remained decreased at 3 days after discontinued use, but Z9 and Z10 continued to increase and Z12 returned to levels prior to RGP use. At 14 days after discontinued use, all aberrations were notsignificantly different from the values prior to use.CONCLUSION: The use RGP contact lenses greatly reduced total aberration of the anterior surface of the cornea. Changes to 2 ndand 3 rd-order aberrations (including Z3, Z4, Z5, Z6, Z7, and Z8) were more significant. Following discontinued use of RGP contact lenses, the majority of lower order aberrations returned to original levels in a short period of time. During this process, a transient higher order aberration appeared, but all changes disappeared within 14 days after discontinued use of RGP contact lenses.展开更多

Fifteen patients were RGP user. The groups were comparable with respect to the mean patient age, sex, and mean K values (P=0.1, P=0.8 and P=0.1, respectively). The mean CLIQperson measure was 42.8±5.5 in RGP group and 39.6±5.5 in SHCLs for KCN group (P=0.06). CLIQperson measure was positively correlated with steep K value (r=0.301, P=0.04). When eyes were stratified by visual acuity with contact lenses, the mean CLIQperson measure was 42.01±5.6 in eyes with a visual acuity of 20/20-20/25 (n=44) and 38.4±5.26 in eyes with a visual acuity of 20/32 or less (n=10; P=0.097).CONCLUSIONRGP lenses and SHCLs for KCN have similar impact on QoL.展开更多

Initial medical history and corneal topography were collected at baseline. Corneal topography, corneal aberration, optical coherence tomography, and vision-related quality of life questionnaires were performed at the last follow-up.RESULTS: According to corneal topography, increase of the flattest keratometric values was higher in RGP wearers than in non-wearers(P=0.038). The morphological parameters, including symmetry index of front corneal curvature(P=0.004) and Baiocchi-Calossi-Versaci index front(P=0.047), were lower in RGP wearers than in nonwearers. Vertical coma was smaller in RGP wearers than non-wearers in 3.0, 5.0, 6.0, and 7.0 mm pupil diameters, respectively(P<0.05). The environmental triggering domain of ocular surface disease index was worse in RGP wearers as compared to non-wearers(P=0.003). At the last followup, there were no significant differences in constituent ratios of KC progression, corneal thickness topography, epithelial thickness topography, morphological parameters of corneal topography, and other questionnaire scores between the two groups(all P>0.05).CONCLUSION: Long-term use of RGP does not worsen KC but may cause corneal epithelial remodeling to increase symmetry of corneal anterior surface, reduce corneal vertical coma and improve visual quality. However, RGP wearing causes a slight decrease in vision-related quality of life. The occurrence of ocular surface symptoms is mainly associated with environmental triggering factors.展开更多

Corneal collagen crossl...Introduction: Keratoconus is a complex corneal disease that reduces visual acuity by progressively modifying the corneal shape and thickness, usually producing myopia and irregular astigmatism. Corneal collagen crosslinking with riboflavin + ultraviolet-A radiation (CXL) has become a widely accepted treatment for progressive keratoconus. During CXL, riboflavin administration is performed by repeated manual instillation of solution drops on the cornea for 30 minutes, a procedure that is often uncomfortable for many patients and that consumes surgical facilities and staff resources. In this study, especially modified scleral contact lenses (MSCL) were employed for delivering riboflavin to the cornea during CXL. Objective: The study aimed at evaluating the safety and efficacy of MSCL as a drug delivery system, verifying if anterior chamber flare confirms riboflavin penetration and describes the impact on patient comfort and optimization of surgical staff and facility resources. Material and Method: This study included 8 eyes of 6 patients aged 16 - 25 years old with history of progressive keratoconus. After mechanical removal of corneal epithelium, the concave surface of the modified scleral contact lens was filled with riboflavin solution and the lens was placed on the patient’s eye during 30 minutes. The lens design allows the formation of a riboflavin layer between the lens and the exposed corneal stroma to facilitate riboflavin penetration. Patients with lens were allowed to stand up and wait for the second UVA phase outside the surgical room. Riboflavin diffusion was confirmed by biomicroscopic examination of the corneal stroma and anterior chamber with the lens in place. Patients returned and the lens was removed before UV-A irradiation at 3 mW/cm2 for 30 minutes. Statistical analysis was performed by comparing the following parameters of each patient pre- and post-CXL: Spherical equivalent (Sph.Eq.), Mean simulated keratometry (SimK-m) and corrected distance visual acuity (CDVA) using the Wilcoxon method for non-parametric data (p Results: The MSCL allowed patients to be transferred from the surgical room to wait for corneal impregnation with riboflavin. The MSCL was effective in delivering riboflavin to the cornea as confirmed by biomicroscopic examination of the cornea and anterior chamber. No intraoperative or postoperative complications were observed. MSCL use improved the patient comfort and reduced the burden on surgical staff and facilities. All analyzed parameters showed statistically significant differences pre- and post-CXL: Sph.Eq. p = 0. 018 (Median: -2.50;Average: -2.52);SimK-m p = 0. 006 (Median: 47.92;Average: 45.56). CDVA p = 0. 012 (Median: -0.45;Average: 0.42). Conclusion: The MSCL is a safe and efficacious device for riboflavin delivery during CXL. The present study permits slit lamp observation of anterior chamber flare to confirm riboflavin penetration, and provides added safety and comfort for the patient and convenience to healthcare providers by optimizing the use surgical facilities and staff. Keratometric, visual and refractive results were similar to those reported in the literature for CXL with manual riboflavin instillation. Additional studies with larger numbers of patients are needed to confirm the study findings.展开更多
