Forty-two POAG patients who had acceptable clinic IOP reading controlled by medicine were selected in shenyang Aier Eye Hospital from August 2017 to January 2019, and divided into group A (IOP: 12.86±1.40 mmHg) and group B (IOP: 17.82±1.40 mmHg) based on the baseline IOP. All participants were trained to use the iCare HOME rebound tonometer to measure 24-hour IOP at home by themselves after certification. 24-hour IOP values was obtained every 2 hour starting from 7:30. The IOP was measured immediately in sitting position after waking up during 23:30 to 5:30. The observation indices included mean IOP, peak IOP and IOP fluctuation amplitude in different periods. The timing of peak IOP and the proportion of patients changing treatment were counted.

The 24-hour IOP fluctuation of all patients, as well as the patients in group A and group B, were higher than that during office hours (t=11.166, 8.110, 7.929, all P<0.001). 63.0% patients' 24-hour IOP fluctuation was greater than or equal to 8 mmHg (51.4% in group A, 75.0% in group B). 49.3% patients' clinical management was changed based on the result of self-monitoring 24-hour IOP, and the changing proportion in group B (63.9%) was higher than that in group A (35.1%) (χ2=6.035, P=0.014). \u0000 \u0000 \u0000Conclusions: \u0000Self-measurement of 24-hour IOP in POAG patients with medical treatment would identify IOP peaks and fluctuations missed in routine clinical practice, which can be used as an important evidence for clinician to evaluate therapeutic effects and adjust clinical management. \u0000 \u0000 \u0000Key words: \u0000primary open angle glaucoma; tonometer; 24-hour intraocular pressure","PeriodicalId":10142,"journal":{"name":"Chinese Journal of Optometry & Ophthalmology","volume":"6 1","pages":"20-26"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-01-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88432837","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This was a series case study that included patients in Changsha Aier Eye Hospital from October to November 2017. Subjects with myopia were first measured by experienced optometrists for objective and subjective refraction using an autorefractor (Nidek ARK-1) and phoropter, respectively (designated as the \"traditional approach\"). Then, these subjects were again measured by a fresh technician with the VAO-based approach. The agreement of the results by these two approaches was compared with an intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) and a paired-t test analysis. The efficiency of the VAO-based approach was also compared to the traditional approach with a paired-t test. \u0000 \u0000 \u0000Results: \u0000Seventy subjects (140 eyes, 38 males) with a mean age of 13.2±2.2 years participated in the study.

The ICC of subjective refraction between the two approaches was 0.937, 0.891, 0.543, respectively. Specifically, the mean difference in objective and subjective refraction for spherical power with the two approaches was 0.46 D (95%CI: 0.36, 0.55 D) (t=9.663, P<0.001), and 0.32 D (95%CI: 0.25, 0.39 D) (t=9.087, P<0.001).

The tear meniscus height (TMH) and non-invasive tear film break-up time, including NIF-BUT and NIAvg-BUT, were measured by a Keratograph 5M ocular surface analyzer and were evaluated preoperatively and at 1 and 3 months postoperatively. Central corneal sensation was examined as well. Repeated measures ANOVA was used for preoperative and postoperative comparison within the same group; an independent sample t test was used for comparison of general data and dry eye parameters between the different groups; Spearman correlation analysis was used for the correlation between central corneal sensation and dry eye parameters. \u0000 \u0000 \u0000Results: \u0000The values of all dry eye parameters and central corneal sensation showed no differences before surgery between the two groups. In the FS-LASIK and SMILE groups, the TMH results decreased at both postoperative time points (F=21.213, P<0.001; F=14.648, P<0.001). The TMH results were higher in the SMILE group than that in the FS-LASIK group at both postoperative time points (t=-5.549, P<0.001; t=-3.028, P=0.003). In the FS-LASIK group, the NIF-BUT values decreased within 1 month after surgery (F=4.603, P=0.019). In the SMILE group, the NIF-BUT values presented no significant decrease at both postoperative time points (F=0.599, P=0.516). The NIF-BUT values were higher in the SMILE group than in the FS-LASIK group at 1 month postoperatively (t=-3.430, P=0.001). The NIAvg-BUT values in the FS-LASIK group decreased within 1 month after surgery (F=3.580, P=0.042). The NIAvg-BUT values presented no significant decrease at both postoperative time points in the SMILE group (F=0.274, P=0.761). The NIAvg-BUT values were higher at both postoperative time points in the SMILE group than in the FS-LASIK group (t=-2.395, P=0.019; t=-2.431, P=0.017). The central corneal sensation results had decreased at both postoperative time points in the FS-LASIK group (F=121.919, P<0.001), but had decreased at only 1 month after surgery in the SMILE group (F=54.032, P<0.001). The central corneal sensation results were better in the SMILE group than in the FS-LASIK group at both postoperative time points (t=-5.367, P<0.001; t=-3.242, P=0.002). There was a positive correlation between central corneal sensation and dry eye parameters at both follow-up time points in both groups (P<0.05). \u0000 \u0000 \u0000Conclusions: \u0000There are different degrees of change in dry eye parameters and central corneal sensation at the early postoperative period in the FS-LASIK and SMILE groups.
