Purpose:To evaluate the vault change and anterior segment movement induced by mydriasis in moderate-to-high myopic eyes with implantable collamer lenses (ICL).Setting:Shanghai, ChinaDesign:A prospective consecutive observational study.Methods:A total of 45 eyes of 24 patients with ICL V4 implantation and 128 eyes of 65 patients with ICL V4c implantation were included and analyzed. Anterior chamber depth, posterior corneal endothelium-to-ICL distance, and vault before and after mydriasis were measured by Pentacam (Oculus, Wetzlar, Germany) at 1, 3, and 6 months after surgery.Results:Significant vault increases and anterior chamber depth increases induced by mydriasis were noted in both ICL V4 and V4c groups at 1, 3, and 6 months postoperatively. The corneal endothelium-ICL distance increased significantly in eyes with implanted ICL V4c after mydriasis at 3 and 6 months. Moreover, mydriasis-induced vault increases were greater in the ICL V4 group than in the ICL V4c group at 3 and 6 months. In eyes with implanted ICL V4c, mydriasis-induced vault increases were significantly greater at 1 month than at 3 and 6 months.Conclusion:Mydriasis results in a general vault increase in eyes with implanted ICLs. The adjustment of the pressure equilibrium via the central hole of the ICL V4c has an important role in vault change. The mydriasis-induced vault increases tend toward stability after 3 months postoperatively. Mydriasis is relatively safe in eyes with ICL implantation.

Abstract Background: High myopia with shallow anterior chamber depth (ACD less than 2.8 mm) is not rare. This observational study aims to evaluate visual outcomes after implantation of the Visian Implantable Collamer Lens with a central hole (ICL V4c) in these patients. Methods: A prospective cohort of consecutive 51 eyes of 31 patients (20 to 42 years old) was followed for at least 12 months (average 15.35 ± 4.90 months, rangers from 12 to 25 months). The preoperative ACD was 2.74 ± 0.04 mm (2.65 to 2.79 mm). Uncorrected distance visual acuity (UDVA), corrected distance visual acuity (CDVA), intraocular pressure (IOP), manifest refraction, vault, and endothelial cell density (ECD) were measured during the follow-ups after surgery. Results: All surgeries were performed safely and no complication was observed during the follow-up. At the last follow-up, the safety index (postoperative CDVA / preoperative CDVA) was 1.33 ± 0.60 and the efficacy index (postoperative UDVA / preoperative CDVA) was 1.14 ± 0.54. After the surgery, no eye had decreased CDVA and 59% (30 eyes) of the eyes gained at least one line. Forty-seven eyes (92%) were within ± 1.0 D and 35 eyes (69%) were within ± 0.5 D of the attempted refraction. The mean postoperative vault was 380.00 ± 152.84 µm (90 to 700µm). The ECD was reduced by 8.38 ± 0.06% as compared to the preoperative value (p < 0.001). No significant change was observed in IOP (p = 0.061) at the last follow-up. Ultrasound Biomicroscopy (UBM) showed none of the eyes had trabecular-iris angle closed. Conclusions: In this prospective observational study, ICL V4c implantation in patients with high myopia and shallow ACD achieved satisfying and stable visual outcomes. Its long-term safety and stability require further investigation. Trial Registration: This trial was retrospectively registered on 05/08/2018 under the number (ChiCTR1800017594)

Purpose. To investigate the influences of atropine on changes in anterior segment geometry, as measured by ultrasound biomicroscopy in children. Methods. A prospective observational study was performed. Anterior segment parameters were obtained by UBM before and after the instillation of 1% atropine. Univariate linear regression was performed to identify the variables contributing to the changes in the trabecular meshwork-iris angle (TIA). Results. The study included 21 boys and 37 girls with a mean age of 10.79 ± 2.53 years. Anterior chamber parameters including the central anterior chamber depth, TIA, angle opening distance at 500 μm from the scleral spur, iris thickness 750 μm and 1500 μm from the scleral spur, trabecular-ciliary angle (TCA), trabecular-ciliary process distance, sclera-iris angle (SIA), and sclera-ciliary process angle significantly increased after cycloplegia ( P < 0.05 ). In contrast, the lens vault, iris cross-sectional area, and maximum ciliary muscle thickness significantly decreased after cycloplegia. Univariate analysis identified the change in TCA and the change in SIA and the TIA before mydriasis as determinants of the change in TIA. Conclusions. Atropine causes statistically significant changes in various anterior segment parameters in children. The change in anterior chamber angle is associated with the change in TCA and the change in SIA and the TIA before mydriasis.

Purpose. To quantify changes in anterior segment (AS) parameters after laser peripheral iridotomy (LPI) using AS-optical coherence tomography (OCT) of iris bombe. Method. AS images of eight eyes were captured before and after iris bombe and more than 2 weeks after LPI (post-LPI) using AS-OCT. We compared the following AS parameters: anterior chamber depth (ACD), anterior chamber volume (ACV), iris curvature (IC), iris thickness at 500 μm from the scleral spur (IT-1) in the middle between the iris root and pupillary margin (IT-2) and 500 μm from the pupillary margin (IT-3) to the anterior chamber angle (ACA) (angle opening distance [AOD750]), and trabecular iris space area. Results. Mean IT-1 and IT-3, but not IT-2, were lower after iris bombe (IT-1, P=0.001; IT-2, P=0.081; and IT-3, P=0.001). There were no significant differences between ACD at pre-LPI and before iris bombe (P=0.096). The mean ACV and AOD750 of iris bombe increased at post-LPI (ACV, P<0.01, and AOD750, P<0.05). The mean IT-1, IT-2, and IT-3 increased at post-LPI (all, P≤0.01). IC decreased at post-LPI (P<0.001), and ACD at post-LPI did not change. Conclusions. The iris extends and becomes thinner during iris bombe. LPI during bombe decreases the IC and increases the ACV and ACA.

Purpose. To investigate two-year outcomes of Visian Implantable Collamer Lens with a central hole (ICL V4c) implantation for correcting high myopia.Methods. Sixty-one eyes of 32 patients went through ICL V4c implantation. Safety, efficacy, predictability, and intraocular pressure were evaluated 2 years postoperatively. Anterior chamber volume (ACV), anterior chamber depth (ACD), anterior chamber angle width (ACAW), and vault were measured using a Scheimpflug tomography imaging system.Results. At 2 years, the spherical equivalent refraction decreased from preoperative −14.62 ± 4.29 D to −0.90 ± 0.95 D, with 79% of the eyes within ±0.50 D and 98% within ±1.00 D of the intended correction. The efficacy index was 1.03 ± 0.23, and the safety index was 1.24 ± 0.26. Corrected distance visual acuity (CDVA) remained unchanged in 23% of the eyes, 75% gained one or more lines of CDVA, and 2% lost one line. The ACV, ACD, and ACAW, respectively, decreased from 193.28 ± 29.15 mm3, 3.15 ± 0.23 mm, and 36.51 ± 6.54 degree to 112.48 ± 17.01 mm3, 2.99 ± 0.23 mm, and 22.54 ± 5.27 degree (p=0.0008,  0.008,  and  0.0003, resp.). Intraocular pressure was 15.39 ± 2.88 mmHg before surgery and was 15.86 ± 4.11 mmHg at 2 years (p=0.11).Conclusion. Implantation of ICL V4c is a safe, effective, and predictable procedure for correcting high myopia. Reduction of anterior chamber space after surgery did not induce intraocular pressure increase during the 2-year follow-up.

AbstractBackgroundCorneal refractive surgery has become reliable for correcting refractive errors, but it can induce unintended ocular changes that alter refractive outcomes. This study is to evaluate the unintended changes in ocular biometric parameters over a 6-month follow-up period after femtosecond laser-assisted laser in situ keratomileusis (FS-LASIK) and small incision lenticule extraction (SMILE).Methods156 consecutive myopic patients scheduled for FS-LASIK and SMILE were included in this study. Central corneal thickness (CCT), mean curvature of the corneal posterior surface (Kpm), internal anterior chamber depth (IACD) and the length from corneal endothelium to retina (ER) were evaluated before and after surgery over a 6-month period.ResultsBoth the FS-LASIK and SMILE groups (closely matched at the pre-surgery stage) experienced flatter Kpm, shallower IACD and decreased ER 1 week post-surgery (P < 0.01), and these changes were larger in FS-LASIK than in SMILE group. During the 1 week to 6 months follow up period, Kpm, IACD and ER remained stable unlike CCT which increased significantly (P < 0.05), more in the FS-LASIK group.ConclusionsDuring the follow up, the posterior corneal surface became flatter and shifted posteriorly, the anterior chamber depth and the length from the corneal endothelium to retina decreased significantly compared with the pre-surgery stage. These unintended changes in ocular biometric parameters were greater in patients undergoing FS-LASIK than SMILE. The changes present clear challenges for IOL power calculations and should be considered to avoid affecting the outcome of cataract surgery.

Purpose. To investigate the changes of anterior segment after cycloplegia and estimate the association of such changes with the changes of refraction in Chinese school-aged children of myopia, emmetropia, and hyperopia.Methods. 309 children were recruited and eligible subjects were assigned to three groups: hyperopia, emmetropia, or myopia. Cycloplegia was achieved with five cycles of 0.5% tropicamide. The Pentacam system was used to measure the parameters of interest before and after cycloplegia.Results. In the myopic group, the lenses were thinner and the lens position was significantly more posterior than that of the emmetropic and hyperopic groups in the cycloplegic status. The correlations between refraction and lens thickness (age adjusted;r=0.26,P<0.01), and lens position (age adjusted;r=-0.31,P<0.01) were found. After cycloplegia, ACD and ACV significantly increased, while ACA significantly decreased. Changes in refraction, ACD, ACV, and ACA were significantly different among the three groups (P<0.05, all). Changes of refraction were correlated with changes of ACD (r=0.41,P<0.01).Conclusions. Myopia presented thinner lenses and smaller changes of anterior segment and refraction after cycloplegia when compared to emmetropia and hyperopia. Changes of anterior chamber depth were correlated with refraction changes. This may contribute to a better understanding of the relationship between anterior segment and myopia.

Objective: It is aimed to determine whether fasting during Ramadan has any significant effect on anterior chamber parameters, visual acuity and intraocular pressures. Methods: 31 fasting (Group 1) and 30 non-fasting healthy volunteers (Group 2) were enrolled. All cases underwent an ophthalmological examination and anterior segment parameter evaluation (central corneal thickness (CCT), anterior chamber depth (ACD), anterior chamber volume (ACV), anterior chamber angle (ACA), pupil size) with Pentacam before and after the breaking of the Ramadan fast in Group 1, before and after dinner in Group 2. Results: The mean age was 43.35 ± 13.20 in Group 1, 43.17 ± 12.90 in Group 2 (p= 0.955). No significant difference was detected in any of the parameters in both groups. Conclusion: There is a need for more detailed and associated studies to understand better about the influence of Ramadan fast on various ocular parameters.

BackgroundTo evaluate the changes in corneal endothelium cell density (ECD) and the correlated factors after Implantable Collamer Lens (ICL) V4c implantation.MethodsIn this retrospective, consecutive study, 48 eyes of 25 patients with myopia who underwent ICL V4c implantation were enrolled. Patients were followed up for at least 4 years, during which manifest refraction, uncorrected distance visual acuity, corrected distance visual acuity (CDVA), intraocular pressure, ECD, anterior chamber depth, anterior chamber volume (ACV), anterior chamber angle (ACA), vault and distance from the corneal endothelium to the central ICL (C-ICL) were measured. Spearman’s correlation analysis was used to identify variables correlated with changes in ECD, and generalised estimating equation model adjusting within-patient intereye correlations was used to predict changes in ECD.ResultsAll surgeries were performed safely with no complications during follow-up (average 52±2.9 months). Safety and efficacy indices were 1.23±0.22 and 1.04±0.16, respectively. No eyes had decreased CDVA, and 67% gained one or more lines. Further, 79% were within ±0.50 D, and 100% were within ±1.0 D of the attempted refraction. Additionally, a 4.03%±2.2% reduction in ECD compared with the preoperative value was observed at the last follow-up visit. Changes in ECD were significantly correlated with vault, C-ICL, change in ACA and change in ACV. Vault was the most significant factor for changes in ECD.ConclusionsICL V4c implantation is safe and effective for myopia correction. Anterior segment biometric parameters including the vault, ACA and C-ICL may influence changes in ECD; specifically, the vault plays a major role.

Background: To evaluate the effects of tolterodine on anterior segment and choroidal thickness by using the Pentacam system and optical coherence tomography (OCT) (Pentacam). Methods: A total of 122 eyes of 61 patients (34 female; 27 male) were included in the study. All patients underwent a regular ocular examination and intraocular pressure measurements before and after 3 months of antimuscarinic drug tolterodine treatment, in addition, pupil diameter, anterior chamber depth, anterior chamber volume, anterior chamber angle, and lens thickness were measured through Pentacam (Oculus Inc., Wetzlar, Germany) system. Measurements of choroidal thickness were performed by OCT (Spectralis®, Heidelberg Engineering, Heidelberg, Germany). Results: The mean age was 58.4 ± 7.3 years and 56.5 ± 11.1 years for female and male patients. The mean intraocular pressure was 15.10 ± 2.75 mmHg before treatment and 15.18 ± 2.65 mmHg after treatment. Pupil diameters were 3.09 ± 0.48 mm before treatment and 3.12 ± 0.43 mm after treatment. Anterior chamber depth, before and after treatment were 2.68 ± 0.65 mm and 2.70 ± 0.61 mm. The mean value for subfoveal choroidal thickness was 267.92 ± 81.35 μm before the administration of tolterodine, whereas the mean choroidal thickness was 271.83 ± 75.42 μm after the administration of tolterodine. The alterations in the subfoveal choroidal thickness were not statistically significant ( p = 0.862). Conclusions: After 3 months of therapy with tolterodine, there were no significant changes in anterior segment parameters and choroidal thickness.
