Corneal Power, Astigmatism, and Aberration Changes After LASIK

April 4, 2018 updated by: David Huang, Oregon Health and Science University

Observational Study of Corneal Power, Astigmatism, and Aberration Changes After LASIK

The primary goal of the study is to determine if Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) measurement of corneal power and astigmatism is more accurate than conventional Placido-ring corneal topography. A second goal is to evaluate OCT-based epithelial thickness mapping. The postoperative epithelial thickness variation will be used to calculate refractive effects and calibrate the smoothing parameter in the mathematical model relating corneal mean curvature and epithelial thickness. A third goal is to assess the repeatability of OCT measurements. A fourth goal is to develop a method of estimating the focusing power, astigmatism, and HOA of the crystalline lens based on measurements of the lens' anterior and posterior capsular topographies and positions with the ultrahigh-speed MIT OCT prototype.

Detailed Description

A prospective observational study on refraction and HOA changes after LASIK will be conducted at OHSU and Baylor. We will enroll 50 subjects undergoing routine LASIK for the correction of myopia or hyperopia. The Optovue anterior segment OCT prototype will be used to measure corneal power, astigmatism, HOA, and epithelial thickness map. The ultrahigh-speed MIT OCT prototypes will also be used when they become available. A comprehensive eye examination will be performed preoperatively. OCT scan, manifest refraction, visual acuity, Placido-ring corneal topography, slit scanning/Scheimpflug camera, and wavefront measurements will be acquired preoperatively and 3-6 months after the surgery. The LASIK-induced refraction and wavefront HOA changes will be used as the reference standard to evaluate the accuracy of OCT-measured corneal power, astigmatism, and HOA changes. The primary goal of the study is to determine if OCT measurement of corneal power and astigmatism is more accurate than conventional Placido-ring corneal topography. A second goal is to evaluate OCT-based epithelial thickness mapping. The postoperative epithelial thickness variation will be used to calculate refractive effects and calibrate the smoothing parameter in the mathematical model relating corneal mean curvature and epithelial thickness. A third goal is to assess the repeatability of OCT measurements. A fourth goal is to develop a method of estimating the focusing power, astigmatism, and HOA of the crystalline lens based on measurements of the lens' anterior and posterior capsular topographies and positions with the ultrahigh-speed MIT OCT prototype. The reference standard for lens focusing power and astigmatism will be based on a Gaussian optics model that takes as inputs manifest refraction, crystalline lens position, axial eye length, and OCT corneal power and astigmatism measurements. The reference standard for lens HOA will be the difference between wavefront HOA and corneal HOA. For each eye, the best-fit effective index of the lens will be found so that OCT measurements will match the reference data. Although the lens index is likely to be higher centrally than peripherally, this secondary perturbation will be accounted for by a posterior shift of the posterior lens capsule in OCT images, due to the fact that apparent distances in OCT images is a product of physical distance and optical group index. Thus HOA due to index variation in the lens would translate to unevenness in the posterior capsule surface that could be measured with OCT.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
