人眼波前像差数值表示及测量方法的研究

人眼离焦和散光两个缺陷可以通过佩戴框架眼镜、角膜接触镜、激光屈光手术得到矫正。但是,即使矫正后的眼睛屈光处于最佳状态,但仍不能获得最佳视觉敏锐度。这是因为人眼存在着光学像差。从人眼像差的测量方法和数值表示法来进行分析,并引入Zern ike多项式来表示波前像差,为用准分子激光进行眼球像差矫正提供理论依据。

Evaluation of the Efficacy of Excimer Laser Ablation of Cross-Linked Porcine Cornea

Background

Combination of riboflavin/UVA cross-linking (CXL) and excimer laser ablation is a promising therapy for treating corneal ectasia. The cornea is strengthened by cross-linking, while the irregular astigmatism is reduced by laser ablation. This study aims to compare the efficacy of excimer laser ablation on porcine corneas with and without cross-linking.

Methods and Findings

The porcine cornea was de-epithelialized and treated with 0.1% riboflavin solution for 30 minutes. A half of the cornea was exposed to UVA-radiation for another 30 minutes while the controlled half of the cornea was protected from the UVA using a metal shield. Photo therapeutic keratectomy (PTK) was then performed on the central cornea. Corneal thickness of 5 paired locations on the horizontal line, ±0.5, ±1.0, ±1.5, ±2.0, and ±2.5 mm from the central spot, were measured using optical coherence tomography prior to and after PTK. The ablation depth was then determined by the corneal thickness. There was a 9% difference (P<0.001) in the overall ablation depth between the CXL-half corneas (158±22 µm) and the control-half corneas (174±26 µm). The ablation depths of all 5 correspondent locations on the CXL-half were significantly smaller (P<0.001).

Conclusion

The efficacy of the laser ablation seems to be lower in cross-linked cornea. Current ablation algorithms may need to be modified for cross-linked corneas.     

A Limitation of Hartmann-Shack System in Measuring Wavefront Aberrations for Patients Received Laser Refractive Surgery

PurposeTo explore the relationship between ablation parameters of myopic laser surgery and measurement area of wavefront aberration (WA) with Hartmann-Shack wavefront sensor.Methods58 subjects undergone myopic laser surgeries and 74 uncorrected myopic subjects were enrolled in this experiment. The laser ablation parameters were obtained from surgical records, which included spherical error (Rx), depth, and optical zone (OZ) of ablation. The measured area of WA was tested by the WASCA, and the real pupil size was tested by Pentacam. The corneal eccentricity (E value) and curvature was also measured with the Pentacam. All the measurements were performed under mydriatic condition.ResultsFor uncorrected myopic eyes, the measured area of WA was similar with the real pupil size. But for the corrected eyes, the measured area of WA was smaller than the real pupil size with a mean difference of 0.66 ± 0.54 mm for moderate myopia (t = 6.45, p < 0.0001) and 1.76 ± 0.55 mm for high myopia (t = 18.92, p < 0.0001), but not for mild myopia. The Rx (t = -3.20, p = 0.0017), OZ (t = 64.4, p < 0.0001) and postoperative corneal E value (t = 2.52, p = 0.017) were the independent factors of measured area of WA. Measured area of WA = -0.81*Rx + 1.13*OZ + 0.49*postoperative corneal E value (r² = 0.997).ConclusionsThe WASCA has a limitation in measuring wavefront aberration over the whole pupil area when it’s used for patients received myopic laser surgery. The measured area is smaller than the real pupil size and depends linearly on ablation depth, optical zone and corneal eccentricity.

目的:观察Q值调整非球面切削与标准化LASIK术后不同角膜直径下的角膜的非球面变化来分析Q值引导个性化切削技术的临床效果。方法:前瞻性研究。随机选取2010年至2011年来我院就诊的准分子手术患者35例68眼,分别进行标准化LASIK(S组:17例34眼)和Q值调整个体化LASIK(Q组:18例34眼)矫治。术前2组各项指标均相似,差异无统计学意义。术前屈光度数分别为标准组球镜平均值为-4.76±2.02D(-1.5D～-9.75D),柱镜平均值为-0.71±0.7D(0～-2.5D)和Q值个体化组球镜平均值为-4.78±2.21D(-1.5～-9.5D),柱镜平均值为-0.84±0.55D(0～-2.5D)两组,对比两组非球面切削与标准化LASIK术后1个月不同角膜直径下的Q值及△Q。结果:两组术前Q10、Q15、Q20、Q25、Q30平均值分别为标准组:-0.12、-0.17、-0.20、-0.25、-0.30,Q值个体化组:-0.14、-0.19、-0.22、-0.27、-0.32.。术后一个月两组的△Q(△Q=Qpost-Qpre)△Q10、△Q15、△Q20、△Q25、△Q30分别为标准组:0.58、0.88、1.08、1.10、0.85,Q值个体化组,0.39、0.75、1.03、1.10、0.84。△Q10和△Q15术前术后变化在角膜直径为3.5mm之内时的差异有统计学意义。结论:Q值调整的个体化准分子激光原位角膜磨镶术术后角膜非球面变化与标准组相比皆由术前的长椭圆型Q值向扁椭圆型变化,但Q值调整的个体化组在角膜中央区的扁椭圆变化小于标准组,尤其在角膜中央3.5mm。说明Q值调整的个体化LASIK组在角膜中央区比标准组具有优势。     

Sensitivity of corneal biomechanical and optical behavior to material parameters using design of experiments method

The optical performance of the human cornea under intraocular pressure (IOP) is the result of complex material properties and their interactions. The measurement of the numerous material parameters that define this material behavior may be key in the refinement of patient-specific models. The goal of this study was to investigate the relative contribution of these parameters to the biomechanical and optical responses of human cornea predicted by a widely accepted anisotropic hyperelastic finite element model, with regional variations in the alignment of fibers. Design of experiments methods were used to quantify the relative importance of material properties including matrix stiffness, fiber stiffness, fiber nonlinearity and fiber dispersion under physiological IOP. Our sensitivity results showed that corneal apical displacement was influenced nearly evenly by matrix stiffness, fiber stiffness and nonlinearity. However, the variations in corneal optical aberrations (refractive power and spherical aberration) were primarily dependent on the value of the matrix stiffness. The optical aberrations predicted by variations in this material parameter were sufficiently large to predict clinically important changes in retinal image quality. Therefore, well-characterized individual variations in matrix stiffness could be critical in cornea modeling in order to reliably predict optical behavior under different IOPs or after corneal surgery.     

An analytically solvable model for biomechanical response of the cornea to refractive surgery

An analttically solvable model that considers the elasticity of the cornea is developed for use in the current and novel corneal refractive surgery procedures. The model assumes that the cornea is a thin spheroid shell with an elastic response to intraocular pressure. The value of the Young's modulus of the post-operative cornea and its dependence on the geometric parameters of the ablation zone are estimated employing "best-fit" approach to nomograms currently used in corneal refractive surgery. These elasticity parameters are applied for quantitative modeling of different types of refractive surgery for myopia.     

The effect of excimer laser keratectomy on corneal glutathione-related enzymes in rabbits

Glutathione related enzymes are involved in the metabolism and detoxification of cytotoxic and carcinogenic compounds as well as reactive oxygen species. Excimer laser is a very useful tool for the treatment of refractive errors and removing superficial corneal opacities. Previous studies have shown that excimer laser may initiate free radical formation in the cornea. In the present study, we evaluated the effect of excimer laser keratectomy on corneal glutathione-related enzyme activities in rabbits. Animals were divided into five groups, and all groups were compared with the controls (group 1), after epithelial scraping (group 2), transepithelial photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) (group 3), traditional PRK (group 4) and deep traditional PRK (group 5). Corneal glutathione peroxidase (GPx), glutathione S-transferase (GST) and glutathione reductase (GR) activities were measured after 24h. Corneal GPx and GR activities significantly decreased only in group 5 (p < 0.05) but GST activities significantly decreased in all groups when compared with the control group (p < 0.05). In conclusion, excimer laser inhibits the glutathione dependent defense system in the cornea, this effect becomes more prominent after high doses of excimer laser energy and antioxidants may be useful to reduce free radical mediated complications.     

Laser light: its nature and its action on the eye.

Lasers produce a coherent, focused, monochromatic, high-energy form of light. Because laser surgery is more versatile and precise and is freer of complications than conventional surgery it has become widely accepted in ophthalmology over the past 10 years. Applications range from routine procedures in the fundus to recent, more delicate interventions in the cornea. The argon laser is the most widely used to treat extrafoveal chorioretinal diseases such as age-related macular degeneration and diabetic retinopathy; it has also been used successfully to treat glaucoma by iridectomy or trabeculoplasty. The krypton red laser is the argon laser''s counterpart in the treatment of subfoveal and pigment-epithelium-related diseases. Posterior capsulotomy is the most widespread and successful intervention with the neodymium:yttrium-aluminum-garnet crystal laser; this laser is also used to cut vitreous traction bands and is increasingly used in iridectomy. Although the use of the excimer laser in corneal surgery is still largely investigational it has been shown to produce precise cuts in corneal layers for the correction of myopia or astigmatism. The variable-wavelength dye laser, capable of reaching a specific level in the retina or choroid, has offered exciting new developments, and it promises to soon be part of the ophthalmologist''s armamentarium in the treatment of eye disease.
