Wavefront higher order aberrations in Dohlman/Boston keratoprosthesis and normal eyes

Transcription

1 Wavefront higher order aberrations in Dohlman/Boston keratoprosthesis and normal eyes Kalliopi Stasi, Seth Pantanelli, Geunyoung Yoon, Greg McCormick, James Aquavella Rochester Eye Institute and Center for Visual Sciences University of Rochester, NY Research supported in part by a grant from Research to Prevent Blindness

2 Background Dolman/ Boston keratoprosthesis (KPro) is an artificial cornea PMMA device Alternative to penetrating keratoplasty (PK) with good anatomic results and quick visual recovery, reserved usually for failed PK The wavefront aberrations through this device have not been reported or compared to PK patients or normal subjects

3 KPro patients can have good visual acuity and visual fields according to their visual potential as well as very good visualization of the fundus It is not known how the routine use of bandage contact lens on KPro eyes affects the quality of their vision

4 The quality of vision can be evaluated with measuring wavefront aberrations (deviation from ideal eye) lower order aberrations (like sph/cyl, correctable, 85% of total) higher order aberrations (not correctable w. glasses or CLs) Abnormal eyes such as PK and KCN eyes as well as symptomatic post-lasik eyes have significantly more higher-order aberrations (HOAs) than normal

7 Questions 1) What is the optical quality of Dohlman/Boston KPro before and after implantation? 2) How does the optical quality of KPro compare to normal eyes? 3) Does the routine bandage contact lens affect the optical quality of the implanted KPro?

8 Methods Wavefront aberrations: large dynamic-range Shack-Hartmann wavefront sensor Pupil camera Lenslet array

9 Groups: (I) KPro devices (n=3) mounted to custom made plastic stand (II) One patient implanted with KPro with and w/o bandage soft contact lens, dilation (1% tropicamide) 20 spot images acquired and averaged for single set of Zernike coefficients (III) Wavefront aberration data on 50 normal eyes adjusted for a 3mm pupil in order to be comparable to keratoprosthesis data (3.2mm optical zone) The higher order aberration root mean square (HORMS) was calculated up to the 5th order (mathematical way to appreciate the magnitude of aberrations like spherical equivalent for sph-cyl).

10 Results HORMS of normal eyes (3mm pupil, n=50) was μm HORMS of KPro devices (n=3) was μm The difference between Kpro and normal eye groups was μm This difference is equivalent to about 0.18 Diopters of sphere

17 Discussion It is possible to use wavefront technology to objectively measure quality of vision in Kpro pts To our knowledge, a keratoprosthesis device has never been evaluated this way. Higher order aberrations of the Dohlman/Boston Kpro device type I were 0.111μm (equivalent to about 0.18 D sph) and comparable to the optical quality of a normal eye

18 Discussion Preliminary results of one pt implanted with Kpro and an aspheric zero spherical aberrations PCIOL indicated correctable lower order aberrations equivalent to about 1.25 D sph and a modest amount of non correctable higher order aberrations of 0.4 μm (about 0.50 D sph) The use of routine bandage contact lens and lubricating drops did not alter significantly the amount of wavefront aberrations measured
