RESUMEN

PURPOSE: To review the rebound effect after cessation of different myopia control treatments. METHODS: A systematic review that included full-length randomised controlled studies (RCTs), as well as post-hoc analyses of RCTs reporting new findings on myopia control treatments rebound effect in two databases, PubMed and Web of Science, was performed according to the PRISMA statement. The search period was between 15 June 2023 and 30 June 2023. The Cochrane risk of bias tool was used to analyse the quality of the selected studies. RESULTS: A total of 11 studies were included in this systematic review. Unifying the rebound effects of all myopia control treatments, the mean rebound effect for axial length (AL) and spherical equivalent refraction (SER) were 0.10 ± 0.07 mm [-0.02 to 0.22] and -0.27 ± 0.2 D [-0.71 to -0.03] after 10.2 ± 7.4 months of washout, respectively. In addition, spectacles with highly aspherical lenslets or defocus incorporated multiple segments technology, soft multifocal contact lenses and orthokeratology showed lower rebound effects compared with atropine and low-level light therapy, with a mean rebound effect for AL and SER of 0.04 ± 0.04 mm [0 to 0.08] and -0.13 ± 0.07 D [-0.05 to -0.2], respectively. CONCLUSIONS: It appears that the different treatments for myopia control produce a rebound effect after their cessation. Specifically, optical treatments seem to produce less rebound effect than pharmacological or light therapies. However, more studies are required to confirm these results.

RESUMEN

OBJECTIVES: To assess the intraobserver repeatability of automated, objective, and noninvasive measures obtained with the S390L Firefly WDR slitlamp. METHODS: This cross-sectional study included 50 eyes of patients with dry eye disease with a mean age of 55.06±12.96 years. Three consecutively repeated measures of the following variables were obtained: first noninvasive break-up time (F-NIBUT), average noninvasive break-up time (A-NIBUT), tear meniscus height, tear meniscus area (TMA), nasal ciliary hyperemia (NCIH), temporal ciliary hyperemia (TCIH), nasal conjunctival hyperemia (NCOH), temporal conjunctival hyperemia (TCOH), upper loss area meibomian gland (U-LAMG), lower loss area meibomian gland (L-LAMG), upper meibomian gland dysfunction grade (U-MGD grade), and lower meibomian gland dysfunction grade (L-MGD grade). Intraobserver repeatability was estimated with coefficient of variation (CoV), intrasubject standard deviation (SD) (S w ), and Bland-Altman plots. RESULTS: All variables showed no statistically significant differences in the repeated-measures analysis except for L-MGD grade ( P =0.045). F-NIBUT and A-NIBUT obtained the highest CoV with an average value of 0.48±0.41 [0.02-1.00] and 0.34±0.25 [0.02-1.00], respectively. The remaining variables showed CoVs between 0.04±0.11 [0.00-0.43] and 0.18±0.16 [0.00-0.75]. A-NIBUT, TMA, NCOH, and L-LAMG obtained an S w of 2.78s, 0.21 mm 2 , <0.001, and 4.11%, respectively. Bland-Altman plots showed a high level of agreement between pairs of repeated measures. CONCLUSION: The S390L Firefly WDR slitlamp has moderate intraobserver repeatability for F-NIBUT and A-NIBUT, which suggests that F-NIBUT and A-NIBUT are tests with high variability. The remaining variables show satisfactory intraobserver repeatability.

RESUMEN

OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the improvement in symptoms and signs associated with intense pulse light (IPL) combined with low-level light therapy (LLLT) in the treatment of dry eye disease (DED). METHODS: A systematic review of full-length original studies reporting the effects of IPL combined with LLLT for DED in two databases, PubMed and Scopus, was performed according to the PRISMA statement. The quality assessment tool for case series studies from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute was used to analyze the quality of the studies selected. RESULTS: The search provided a total of 393 articles, of which six were included. Significant decreases in the Ocular Surface Disease Index (OSDI) score, meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD) score, MGD grade, and meiboscore and increases in tear film stability, lipid layer thickness, and loss area of the meibomian gland have been reported. Concerning tear volume, tear meniscus height, and Schirmer test remained unchanged. In relation to tear osmolarity and corneal fluorescein staining, contradictory outcomes were found. CONCLUSIONS: Intense pulse light combined with LLLT for the treatment of dry eye improves OSDI, tear film stability, and meibomian gland function; thus, this treatment may be recommended for DED patients due to MGD.

RESUMEN

PURPOSE: To analyze the choroidal thickness between patients with keratoconus undergoing cross-linking treatment and a healthy population, as well as to determine the factors that influence choroidal thickness. METHODS: This was an observational, analytical, case-control study that was conducted from February 2021 to June 2021. Choroidal thickness was measured at different locations, including the subfoveal, nasal (1000 µm), temporal (1000 µm), superior (1000 µm) and inferior (1000 µm) locations using a Spectral-domain optical coherence tomography with enhanced depth imaging, which allowed us to obtain horizontal and vertical B-scans centered on the fovea. RESULTS: This study included 21 patients with keratoconus (mean age, 21.86 ± 5.28 years) and 28 healthy patients (mean age, 24.21 ± 4.71 years). Choroidal thickness was significantly greater in patients with keratoconus than in healthy patients in each of the following measured locations: subfoveal (P < 0.001); nasal (1000 µm) (P < 0.001), temporal (1000 µm) (P < 0.001), superior (1000 µm) (P < 0.001) and inferior (1000 µm) (P < 0.001) locations. Variables such as age (ρ = - 0.09; P = 0.50) and refraction (ρ = 0.14; P = 0.34) were not found to be associated with choroidal thickness. In a stepwise multiple linear regression, the group was the single variable correlated with choroidal thickness (ß = 0.88; P < 0.001). CONCLUSION: Choroidal thickness is thicker in keratoconus patients treated with cross-linking than in the healthy population. This finding could be associated with inflammatory choroidal mechanisms in keratoconus patients, but more studies are needed. Age and refractive error do not seem to influence choroidal thickness.

RESUMEN

PURPOSE: This systematic review aims to compare corneal astigmatism correction in cataract surgery through corneal relaxing incision, manually and femtosecond laser assisted. METHODS: The study was performed according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) statement recommendations. We used PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science (WOS) as databases from January 2010 to March 30, 2021. Patients with keratoconus, corneal ectasia, and a previous history of eye surgery were excluded because our aim was to analyze only healthy eyes. RESULTS: A total of 1025 eyes were evaluated from 946 patients (mean age was 68.90 ± 5.12) in manual incision group articles, while 1905 eyes of 1483 patients (mean age was 65.05 ± 4.57) were evaluated in femtosecond laser arcuate keratotomy (FLAK) articles. The mean uncorrected distance visual acuity (UDVA) was 0.19 ± 0.12 and 0.15 ± 0.05 logMAR for manual incision and FLAK articles, respectively (p = 0.39). The mean correction index (CI) was similar in both groups: 0.77 ± 0.18 in manual incision and 0.79 ± 0.17 in femtosecond laser assisted incision (p = 0.70). Refractive stability was found after 3 months and no serious complications were reported during the follow-up in any group. CONCLUSION: Both techniques are safe and moderately effective in corneal astigmatism correction in cataract surgery. FLAK represents a more precise and predictable approach. However, since visual and refractive outcomes appear to be similar in both cases, the cost-benefit analysis is controversial.

RESUMEN

PURPOSE: To study the treatment efficacy of hyaluronic acid 0.3%, cyanocobalamin (vitamin B12), electrolytes, and P-Plus in menopausal patients with moderate dry eye disease. METHODS: Thirty female patients of mean age 53.06 ± 5.20 years (45-65) were enrolled in this prospective longitudinal study. Meibomian gland loss assessment was determined using a scale with four levels. The Ocular Surface Disease Index (OSDI) questionnaire, phenol red thread (PRT) test, and tear film break-up time (TFBUT) were also completed by the patients. Tear eye drops were formulated with 0.3 g of sodium hyaluronate, P-Plus ™, vitamin B12, sodium chloride, potassium chloride, calcium chloride, magnesium chloride, and SCO® (stabilized complex oxychloride). After 30 days, the patients were re-evaluated. RESULTS: The mean meibomian gland loss percentage was 37.97 ± 19.02 % (7.20 to 88.30%). Before treatment, the OSDI was 22.53 ± 14.03 score points (6.25 to 77.08). Posterior OSDI decreased to 16.26 ± 13.69 score points (0.00 to 70.83) (W = 58.00, P < 0.01). Before treatment, PRT was 10.31 ± 4.48 mm (4.00 to 21.00). Posterior PRT increased to 15.41 ± 6.27 mm (4.00 to 21.00) (W = 1520.50, P < 0.01). Before treatment, TFBUT was 6.23 ± 1.75 s (3.00 to 9.00). The posterior TFBUT increased to 8.10 ± 2.06 s (4.00 to 14.00) (W= 1382.50, P < 0.01). CONCLUSION: The hyaluronic acid 0.3% and vitamin B12 eye drops effectively decreased dry eye symptoms in menopausal women and improved tear stability and volume.

RESUMEN

PURPOSE: To provide a relationship between materials developed for silicone hydrogel contact lenses and multipurpose care solutions to identify improvements in wettability, for prelens noninvasive break-up time and subjective score. METHODS: This systematic review was completed according to the updated PRISMA 2020 statement recommendations and followed the explanation and elaboration guidelines. The PubMed, Web of Science, and Scopus scientific literature databases were searched from January 2000 to November 2021. RESULTS: A total of four clinical trials published between 2011 and 2017 were included in this investigation. All included studies were randomized clinical trials. The success of contact lenses is related to the comfort of their use and therefore to the stability of the tear film and the wettability of its surface. The relationship between these parameters and changes in the ocular surface and inflammatory and infectious processes has been demonstrated. CONCLUSION: Hyaluronan and propylene glycol multipurpose solution (MPS) wetting agents achieved slightly higher prelens noninvasive break-up times than poloxamine. Polyquaternium-1 achieved better wettability and patient comfort than polyhexamethylene biguanide in medium-term studies. Short-term studies did not demonstrate differences between MPSs in their effect on contact lens wettability.

RESUMEN

PURPOSE: To review all case series of refractive corneal inlay implantation: Flexivue (Presbia, Netherlands), Invue (BioVision, Brügg, Switzerland) and Icolens (Neoptics, Hünenberg, Switzerland) performed in presbyopia patients and to evaluate the reported visual outcomes. In addition, our aim is to provide assessment for complications and to report the satisfaction rates. METHODS: PubMed, Web of Science and Scopus databases were consulted using "refractive corneal inlay", "Flexivue Inlay", "Invue Inlay" and "Icolens inlay" as keywords. 147 articles were found, and they were assessed considering the inclusion and exclusion criteria. After filtering, this systemic review included ten articles, published between 2011 and 2020. RESULTS: 308 eyes from 308 participants were enrolled in this systematic review. Mean maximum follow-up was 13.9 months. Nine of the ten case series included used femtosecond laser for the corneal pocket creation. Mean pocket depth was 293.75 µm. 77.5% of the eyes reported a postoperative uncorrected near visual acuity of 20/32 or better, and 19.20% of the inlay-implanted eyes achieved an uncorrected distance visual acuity of 20/20 or better. The most prominent complications were halos, pain, photophobia, and poor distance visual acuity. 27 eyes (8.7%) had to be explanted due to complications, such as near-distance spectacle dependence or blurred distance vision. CONCLUSION: Refractive corneal inlay outcomes demonstrated high efficacy, safety, and satisfaction rates. Furthermore, it is a reversible technique. However, the findings must be viewed with caution due potential conflict of interest. Further research with higher sample size is needed to validate these findings.

RESUMEN

PURPOSE: To assess the height, area, and density of tear meniscus throughout 10 min after instillation of sodium hyaluronate (SH) of equal molecular weight at two different concentrations. METHODS: Thirty-four eyes from 17 patients were enrolled in this longitudinal, nonrandomized, interventional and contralateral eye study. Tear meniscus height (TMH), corneal meniscus junction (CMJ), lower-lid meniscus junction (LLMJ), and tear meniscus area (TMA) images were obtained with the anterior segment module of the deep range imaging ocular coherence tomography ([DRI-OCT] Triton Swept-Source). Tear meniscus density (TMD) was calculated using the image processing and analysis software by Java (ImageJ program). Sodium hyaluronate artificial tears at 0.1% and 0.2% concentrations were instilled into all right and left eyes, respectively. RESULTS: Patients' mean age was 61.05±11.43 years. Tear meniscus height, CMJ, LLMJ, and TMA measured at 1-, 5-, 7- and 10-min postinstillation of 0.1% SH proved significant differences among them (P<0.05). Sodium hyaluronate 0.2% instillation obtained similar findings, although no significant differences were found between 1- and 3-min postinstillation measurements (P>0.05). Fewer differences were found in TMD 0.2% SH group due to a lower baseline densitometry compared to the 0.1% group. CONCLUSION: 0.2% sodium hyaluronate achieved better TMH and TMA in 1 and 3 min after instillation than 0.1% concentration. However, there were no statistically significant differences between 0.1% and 0.2% sodium hyaluronate throughout a ten-minute longitudinal profile measurement using DRI-OCT.

RESUMEN

PURPOSE: To compare corneal densitometry in a consecutive series of 52 endothelial keratoplasties (DMEK/DSAEK) using a Scheimpflug-based device after six months of follow-up. METHODS: Corneal densitometry (CD) values of 102 eyes were divided into three main groups: 33 DMEKs, 19 DSAEKs, and 50 healthy eyes without previous ocular surgery. The CD values were then analyzed and compared between the groups. We measured three main layers in depth and four different concentric zones at 1, 3, and 6 months postoperatively. RESULTS: In the DMEK group, total CD significantly decreased from 38.02 ± 10.21 grayscale units (GSU) to 31.13 ± 9.25 GSU (P < 0.01) between the first and the sixth month postoperative. In the DSAEK group, we found significant changes only between the first and three months after surgery (from 42.62 ± 9.31 GSU to 38.71 ± 10.53 GSU (P < 0.01). Regarding the concentric zones, CD in the DMEK group significantly decreased in the central zone from 33.55 ± 12.07 GSU to 30.63 ± 10.15 GSU (P < 0.01) and significantly increased in the periphery from 30.63 ± 10.15 GSU to 36.72 ± 9.37 GSU, (P < 0.01). The DSAEK group showed no changes in the central zone (from 36.91 ± 13.80 GSU to 36.14 ± 11.47 GSU, P = 0.52) and CD significantly increased in the periphery (41.91 ± 9.28 GSU, P < 0.01). CONCLUSION: When comparing CD values in DMEK versus DSAEK, we found no differences by layers or at central-paracentral concentric zones, although CD differences in the peripheral zones were statistically significant. This finding may be attributed to the thicker graft at periphery with a delayed clearance and less anatomical interphase in DSAEK.

RESUMEN

PURPOSE: To evaluate the efficacy, safety, predictability and stability of the percent tissue altered (PTA) formula in post-LASIK (laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis) ectasia risk assessment. METHODS: One hundred and ninety-three eyes from 104 patients with low to moderate myopia that underwent femtosecond LASIK were included in this retrospective, observational and longitudinal study. Seventy-eight eyes were classified in the higher-PTA (> 40%) group and 115 eyes in the lower-PTA (< 40%) group. Spherical manifest refraction, cylinder manifest refraction, logMAR and Snellen previous corrected distance visual acuity (CDVA), uncorrected distance visual acuity (UDVA), anterior face Baiocchi Calossi Versaci index (BCVf) and posterior face (BCVb), central corneal thickness (CCT), estimated residual stromal bed (RSB), spherical aberration (SA) and root mean square (RMS) were reported. All patients were followed up for 4 years. RESULTS: In the higher-PTA group, 97% of eyes reported UDVA 20/20 or better, and in the lower-PTA group, all eyes achieved 20/20 or better. No group reported decreased visual acuity. The higher-PTA group obtained 55% of eyes within ± 0.50 D and 90% within ± 1.00 D; and the lower-PTA group obtained 63% of eyes within ± 0.50 D and 90% within ± 1.00 D. Both groups showed a refraction correction of 0.50 D or more in 36% and 31% of eyes, in the higher-PTA and the lower-PTA groups, respectively. CONCLUSION: Percent tissue altered index should not be considered as a unique variable in post-LASIK ectasia risk assessment. Ectasia susceptibility screening should integrate tomography and biomechanical variables in order to help us to decide any refractive treatment choice and increasing refractive surgery safety.

RESUMEN

PURPOSE: To evaluate 1-year changes of vault, anterior chamber angle width (ACAW) and intraocular pressure (IOP) after the implantation of implantable collamer lens (ICL) V4c in high myopic patients. METHODS: Sixty ICL V4c implantation surgeries were included. Patients underwent surgery between January 2014 and June 2017 at Ophthalmology Center Tecnolaser Clinic Vision®, Seville, Spain. All patients had a 12-month follow-up. A preoperative spherical equivalent between - 4.00 and - 15.00 D was established as inclusion criterion. ACAW and vault were measured with Pentacam single rotation Scheimpflug camera (Oculus Optikgeräte GmbH, Wetzlar, Germany). IOP was measured with CORVIS ST (Oculus Optikgeräte GmbH, Wetzlar, Germany). RESULTS: One-day vault was 553.17 ± 169.80 [268-975] µm; 12-month vault was 515.67 ± 176.46 [169-950] µm (p < 0.01). Preoperative ACAW was 36.85° ± 4.60° [26.7°-46.8°]; postoperative ACAW was 25.98° ± 3.85° [16.4°-32.6°] (p < 0.01). Preoperative IOP was 15.37 ± 1.58 [12.0-18.3] mmHg, postoperative IOP was 15.61 ± 1.60 [12.0-19.0] mm Hg (p = 0.35). CONCLUSIONS: ICL V4c lens experienced a progressive reduction of vault after 12-month follow-up. ACAW decrease was significant between preoperative and postoperative values. We propose to include a minimum preoperative ACAW and an IOP correction factor for lens size.

RESUMEN

PURPOSE: We aimed to present the visual results obtained in 100 small incision lenticule extraction (SMILE) refractive surgeries, demonstrate whether the technique is effective in the treatment of moderate and high myopia, and observe the follow-up of these patients over 24-month period. METHODS: One hundred eyes of 50 consecutive patients were treated with SMILE. The preoperative spherical equivalent refraction was - 5.64 ± 1.23 D. During the postoperative period, patients were examined at 3, 6, 12, and 24 months. We analysed the efficacy, safety, predictability, and stability of the technique. RESULTS: The Snellen visual acuity of 99% of the patients was 20/20 or better after 24 months of follow-up. Two eyes had a loss of two lines of visual acuity; 1% of the patients had a loss of one line of visual acuity. The postoperative spherical refraction was - 0.04 ± 0.35 D (- 1.00 to 0.50 D). The postoperative spherical equivalent refraction was - 0.19 ± 0.38 D (- 1.25 to 0.50 D). Eighty-three percent of the eyes were within ± 0.50 D, and 87% obtained a residual astigmatism of 0.50 D or less. CONCLUSION: The SMILE technique was demonstrated to be an effective, predictable, safe, and stable technique in the treatment of moderate-to-severe myopia during the 24-month follow-up. Long-term follow-up should be undertaken to observe possible refractive regressions.

RESUMEN

INTRODUCTION: To assess the efficacy and safety of the combination of microblepharoexfoliation (MBE), intense pulse light (IPL) and meibomian gland expression (MGX) for treatment of meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD). METHODS: This was a prospective, parallel-control trial conducted from April 2022 to January 2023. Participants were assigned to receive either three sessions of MBE-IPL-MGX treatment and home-based therapy (treatment group) or home-based therapy alone (control group). Outcome measures were assessed at baseline and after 2-month follow-up. RESULTS: Seventy eyes of 70 patients were enrolled. MBE-IPL-MGX treatment achieved better improvements than home-based therapy in ocular surface disease index (OSDI) and symptom assessment in dry eye (SANDE) scores, noninvasive tear film break-up time (NIBUT), lipid layer grade (LLG), loss area meibomian gland (LAMG) and meibomian gland yielding secretion score (MGYSS). The mean differences between the two groups were as follows: OSDI (- 11.23 ± 4.68 points, P < 0.001), SANDE (- 24.63 ± 13.41 points, P < 0.001), NIBUT (1.3 ± 1.57 s, P = 0.033), LLG (0.4 ± 0.04 points, P = 0.003), LAMG (- 2.85 ± 1.69%, P = 0.023) and MGYSS (7.5 ± 2.32 points, P < 0.001). In addition, the increment (Δ) of MGYSS after MBE-IPL-MGX treatment was significantly higher in MGD grades 2 and 3 (all P < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS: MBE-IPL-MGX treatment is an effective and well-tolerated procedure that improves dry eye symptoms and signs as well as meibomian gland secretions in patients with MGD. In addition, this treatment is recommended for MGD grades 2 and 3.

RESUMEN

INTRODUCTION: Lid-parallel conjunctival folds (LIPCOF) and conjunctivochalasis (CCH) are similar conditions that seem to be related to dry eye severity. In addition, there is a lack of studies on the topic of LIPCOF and CCH on dry eye symptoms in non-contact lens and contact lens (CL) wearers. Therefore, the aim of this study is to review the relationship of LIPCOF and CCH with dry eye symptoms in non-CL and CL wearers, as well as to report the treatment of dry eye disease (DED) in non-CL and CL wearers who present LIPCOF or CCH. METHODS: A literature review of full-length original studies in two databases, PubMed and Scopus, was performed. The search period included observational studies in humans published between April 21, 2009 and March 20, 2023. RESULTS: A total of 26 studies were included. The studies suggest that LIPCOF and CCH are significantly related to dry eye symptoms in non-CL and CL wearers. However, the impact of CL wear on LIPCOF and CCH may be complex and may vary depending on individual factors such as lens type, lens care regimen, and pre-existing ocular conditions. Regarding LIPCOF management, tear substitutes seem to significantly reduce LIPCOF and dry eye symptoms in non-CL wearers, while vectored thermal pulsation (VTP) and microblepharoexfoliation (MBE) are suggested as promising treatment for LIPCOF and dry eye symptoms in CL wearers. Regarding CCH management, surgical interventions may be effective in reducing CCH when medical treatments have no response. In addition, an ocular examination by slit lamp is necessary to distinguish both conditions. CONCLUSIONS: Tear substitutes, VTP, MBE, and fitting CLs with low coefficient of friction (CoF) seem to reduce and prevent LIPCOF. However, surgical treatment options seem to be more effective in the complete elimination of CCH. An adequate evaluation and differentiation between LIPCOF and CCH are important, and they should be considered by practitioners in managing dry eye symptoms in non-CL and CL wearers.

RESUMEN

Background/Objectives: Presbyopia, a common age-related refractive error, affects over a billion people globally and significantly impacts daily life. Methods: This retrospective study analyzed 288 eyes of 144 patients undergoing LBV PRESBYOND® treatment for myopic presbyopia with astigmatism, aiming to evaluate precision, efficacy, safety, and stability over six months. Results: Key findings include high efficacy, with 99% of distance-eyes achieving uncorrected distance visual acuity (UDVA) of 20/25 or better, and 85% of near-eyes achieving UDVA of 20/32 or better. The results show excellent refractive outcomes, with 99% of long-sighted eyes and 97% of near-sighted eyes having a postoperative spherical equivalent within ±1.00 D. Safety was demonstrated by no loss of two or more Snellen lines after treatment, with 94% of patients maintaining corrected distance visual acuity (CDVA) before and after surgery. Conclusions: Overall, LBV PRESBYOND® proved effective, safe, and well tolerated for myopic presbyopia correction, offering satisfactory visual outcomes and potential spectacle independence for various distances. This study underscores the importance of individualized treatment based on patient age, highlighting the positive impact of binocular summation on visual function. This study contributes to the growing body of evidence supporting LBV PRESBYOND® as a viable option for addressing presbyopic myopia, offering insights into its efficacy and safety profile. Further research could explore postoperative stereopsis and long-term outcomes to enhance understanding and refine treatment protocols.
