Abstract:

Introduction & Aim: Children after traumatic corneal lacerations, suffering from irregular corneal astigmatism, spectacle best-corrected (SVA) of less than 20/20 and unilateral amblyopia in children with BCVA less than 20/40. The purpose of this study was an objective evaluation of the clinical value of Rigid Gas Permeable Contact Lenses (RGPCLs) by investigating the cornea profile, optical defects and the simulated vision functions by using the Sirius topographer.

Methodology & Theoretical Orientation: A comparative study of visual acuity correction and improvement of visual disorders as corneal aberrations as (HOAs, LOAs, PSF and with and without RGPCLs fitting in 15 children with history corneal scars after trauma or irregular corneal incision after cataract extraction operation. We compared the UCVA, Spectacle (VA) and the BCVA post while fitting RGPCLs. We used the Sirius topographer (CSO) for evaluation of aberrometric corneal analysis preand while fitting RGPCLs.
Findings: Our study included fifteen children were fitting RGPCLs for 6 months under specific study wear regimen. Their age range was from 5-9 years with mean 7.2±1.1 SD. There was a significant improvement in the best corrected visual acuity and keratometric astigmatism while wearing RGPLCs (P=0.001). There was also a significant improvement in corneal aberrations
as; HOAs (P=0.008), LOAs, RMS & PSF (P=0.001).

Conclusion & Significance: The optical performance of RGP contact lens has been demonstrated to be an effective tool of visual rehabilitation in children with traumatic corneal lacerations. The corneal topography was an objective tool for detecting the optical disorders other than subjective tests of visual acuity assessment.

Abstract:

There is a great responsibility of an ophthalmologist while examining a patient in search or follow up of Glaucoma. Evaluation of glaucoma may start with the intraocular pressure measurement but the actual thing is start with the optic nerve head. So, the responsibility of an ophthalmologist is not merely to define the cup disc ratio but to carefully note and describe all the necessary relative information while evaluating the optic nerve head (ONH). From the first day in ophthalmology we are hearing about cup disc ratio and most of the time we are least bother about disc diameter. Only describing Cup Disc Ratio may be misleading because a large ONH have thinner neural rim width and large cup size despite a stable number of axons. Assessment of disc size is one of the initial step. So, we as an ophthalmologist have to prepare our mind to see the details of ONH. I will describe the importance of examination of ONH in detail with emphasis on disc size, cupping, neuroretinal rim and signs of progression.

Abstract:

Statement of the Problem: Patients with epiretinal membrane usually have coexisting cataract at presentation. Phacovitrectomy has become a common procedure in epiretinal membrane cases and offers quicker visual rehabilitation and reduce costs for additional surgery. In this study, we evaluate the accuracy of intraocular lens power estimation and the factors associated with outcome including preoperative central macular thickness in phacovitrectomy for epiretinal membrane.

Methodology & Theoretical Orientation: We performed a retrospective case review of 42 consecutive patients that underwent phacovitrectomy for epiretinal membrane. Axial lengths were measured using ultrasound (A-scan) and optical biometry (IOL Master). Achieved and predicted refractions were compared to calculate the mean postoperative refractive prediction error
(ME). Several preoperative and postoperative factors including preoperative central macular thickness measured by OCT related to the postoperative refraction were analyzed.

Findings: The goal diopters measured by A-scan and IOL Master were 0.05 ± 0.21 diopters (D) and -0.07±0.34 D, respectively with no statistical significant difference between the diopters (p=0.168). The actual postoperative manifest refraction was -0.43±0.43 D, which was statistically significant tendency to a myopic shift from the goal diopters (p<0.001, 0.003). ME of 23 eyes using A-scan and IOL Master were −0.48±0.46 D and -0.36±0.49 D, respectively. There was no statistically significant difference in the refractive outcomes between the refractive errors (p=0.407). Preoperative mean central macular thickness measured by ocular coherence tomography was significantly decreased after surgery from 462.50±48.30 μm to 372.39±47.70
μm (p<0.001). The decrease in central macular thickness showed the correlation with the magnitude of postoperative myopic shift (r=0.479, p=0.044; r=0.485, p=0.041).

Conclusion & Significance: Combined phacovitrectomy in epiretinal membrane showed small biometric errors within the tolerable range in most cases. The decrease in central macular thickness had a significant correlation with the magnitude of postoperative myopic shift.
