The Clinical Usefulness of Evaluating the Lens and Intraocular Lenses Using Optical Coherence Tomography: An Updated Literature Review.

The Lens Dysfunction Syndrome includes two widespread ocular disorders: presbyopia and cataract. Understanding its etiology, onset, progression, impact, prevention, and treatment remains a significant scientific challenge. The lens is a fundamental structure of the ocular dioptric system that allows for focus adjustment or accommodation to view objects at different distances.

Assessment of the ciliary muscle and scleral anterior thickness in high myopia by optical coherence tomography.

Purpose: To assess ciliary muscle (CM) and anterior scleral thickness (AST) dimensions in vivo in high myopia using swept-source optical coherence tomography (SS-OCT) and to compare with emmetropic and hyperopic subjects.

Methods: Cross-sectional study that included 34 high myopic patients (≥ -6 diopters [D]), 90 emmetropes (-1 to +1 D) and 38 hyperopic patients (≥ +3.5 D).

Clinical update in nanophthalmos: Features, diseases and complications associated.

Nanophthalmos is a rare congenital condition of the eyeball that is characterised by a smaller size of the anterior and posterior segments without associated ocular malformations. Typical features that have traditionally been described in these eyes are short axial length, thickened sclera, cornea with a smaller diameter, narrow anterior chamber, and an increased lens to globe volume ratio. However, at present, there is still a lack of recognised diagnostic criteria for nanophthalmos and a classification of its severity.

Comparison in conjunctival-Tenon's capsule thickness, anterior scleral thickness and ciliary muscle dimensions between Caucasians and Hispanic by optical coherence tomography.

Purpose: To investigate the differences in the dimensions of the anterior ocular segment, and specifically in conjunctival-Tenon's capsule thickness (CTT), anterior scleral thickness (AST) and ciliary muscle thickness (CMT), between Caucasian and Hispanic subjects using swept-source optical coherence tomography (SS-OCT).

Methods: Cross-sectional study including 53 Hispanic and 60 Caucasian healthy participants, matched by age, sex and refractive error, who underwent a complete ophthalmological examination. CTT, AST and CMT were manually measured in the temporal and nasal quadrants at 0, 1, 2 and 3 mm from the scleral spur using SS-OCT.

Normative Topographic Anterior and Posterior Corneal Astigmatism: Axis Distribution and Its Relations with Ocular and Biometric Parameters.

Corneal astigmatism correction is a key factor when planning refractive treatment for ametropies with intraocular lenses. We aim to obtain normative anterior and posterior corneal astigmatism (ACA and PCA, respectively) data in a local population and to describe their axis distribution and their association with other parameters. A total of 795 patients with no ocular diseases were evaluated with corneal tomography and optical biometry.

Objective Classification of Glistening in Implanted Intraocular Lenses Using Optical Coherence Tomography: Proposal for a New Classification and Grading System.

Purpose: To propose a classification of the glistening in intraocular lenses (IOL) using swept-source optical coherence tomography (SS-OCT) by means of a simple, objective and reproducible method that allows the quantification of the presence and severity of glistening.

Methods: A cross-sectional study on a sample of 150 eyes of 150 patients who underwent cataract surgery in at least 600 days before the exam and attended a routine examination. Each subject was examined by SS-OCT after pupil dilation, identifying the presence of glistening or hyperreflective foci (HRF) in the central area of the IOL.

A variant Nishida's technique for surgical correction of monocular elevation deficiency syndrome.

Monocular elevation deficiency (MED) is characterized by unilateral limitation of supraductions, similar in adduction and abduction, in addition to hypotropia and ptosis. We describe a case of a 62-year-old woman with long-standing left ptosis who was initially operated with a frontal suspension technique. On subsequent examinations, a MED of that eye was found.

Purpose: To assess the agreement between the measurements of the distance from the medial rectus muscles insertion to the limbus measured by intra-operative spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) in consecutive exotropia (cXT).

Methods: An analysis was performed on total of 14 medial rectus (MR) muscles of 14 patients who underwent surgery for the treatment of cXT. The limbus-insertion distance of the MR muscles was measured using preoperative SD-OCT and intraoperatively using a calliper.

Agreement between optical coherence and Scheimpflug tomography: Vault measurements and reproducibility after implantable collamer lens implantation.

Purpose: To evaluate the agreement between Scheimpflug tomography (Pentacam, Oculus) and anterior segment optical coherence tomography (AS-OCT, RTVue 100, Optovue) as well as the reproducibility of each technique in assessing the lens-ICL distance (vault) after implantable collamer lens (ICL) implantation.
