Mean prediction error (PE), mean absolute PE (MAE), median absolute error (MedAE), and the percentage of eyes within ±0.25, ±0.50, and ±1.00 diopters (D) of PE were determined.RESULTSThe Barrett True K-TK formula exhibited the lowest MAE (0.59 D) and MedAE (0.48 D) and the highest percentage of eyes within ±0.50 D of PE (54.55%) in total. In eyes with a B/F ratio of 0.70 or less and PK of -5.70 D or greater, the Potvin-Hill formula displayed the lowest MAE (0.46 to 0.67 D).CONCLUSIONSThe Barrett True-TK exhibited the highest prediction accuracy in eyes after myopic LASIK/PRK overall. However, for eyes with a low B/F ratio and flat PK, the Potvin-Hill performed best.

Total ocular aberrations were recorded up to the 5th Zernike order for a 4.5-mm pupil. Repeatability was assessed by calculating the within-subject standard deviation (Sw), the repeatability limit (R), and the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC). Vector analysis was performed to assess astigmatism variability between scans.RESULTSThe study enrolled 32 normal individuals and 24 individuals with a history of refractive surgery. In normal and eyes that had previous refractive surgery, respectively, the Sw values were 0.155 and 0.176 diopters (D) for sphere and 0.184 and 0.265 D for cylinder. The Sw values for all 3rd order terms ranged from 0.037 to 0.047 µm in normal eyes and 0.044 to 0.063 µm in eyes that had previous refractive surgery. The Sw for primary spherical aberration was 0.020 µm in normal eyes and 0.026 µm in eyes that had previous refractive surgery. ICC values for measurements of astigmatism yielded larger variability (ICC = 0.751 and 0.879). However, both groups demonstrated excellent repeatability (ICC > 0.9) for root mean square higher order aberrations (RMS-HOA) and total RMS values.CONCLUSIONSIn pseudophakic eyes, the adaptive optics Hartmann-Shack device demonstrated acceptable repeatability for measurement of sphere and 3rd and 4th order HOAs with higher variability for astigmatism measurements, especially in eyes with a prior history of corneal refractive surgery.

Scheimpflug imaging (Pentacam HR) was obtained for all patients. KISA% index and inferior-superior (IS) values were obtained from the Pentacam topometric/keratoconus staging map. Receiver operating characteristic curves were generated to determine the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUROC), sensitivity, and specificity values.RESULTSThere were 160 eyes from 160 patients evaluated, including 80 eyes from 80 patients with progressive keratoconus and 80 eyes from 80 control patients. There were 20 eyes (25%) with progressive keratoconus misclassified by the KISA% index, with 16 eyes (20%) of the progressive keratoconus cohort classified as normal (ie, KISA% < 60). There were 4 eyes (5%) with progressive keratoconus that would classify as having \"normal topography\" using the published criteria for very asymmetric ectasia with normal topography of KISA% less than 60 and IS value less than 1.45. All controls had a KISA% index value of less than 15. The optimal cut-off value to distinguish cohorts was 15.31 (AUROC = 0.972, 93.75% sensitivity). KISA% index values of 60 and 100 achieved low sensitivity (80% and 73.75%, respectively).CONCLUSIONSThe KISA% index misclassified a significant proportion of eyes with progressive keratoconus as normal. Although highly specific for clinical keratoconus, the KISA% index lacks sensitivity, does not effectively discriminate between normal and abnormal topography, and thus should not be used in large data analysis or artificial intelligence-based modeling.

The study included patients with keratoconus who had implantation of KERATACx ring segments. Three groups were segregated based on topographic keratoconus patterns using the Sirius CSO Topographer (CSO Italia): type I ectasia where the cone coincides with the corneal flat axis, type II ectasia in which the cone coincides with neither the steep nor the flat axis and lies between the two axes, and type II ectasia for cones coinciding with the corneal steep axis. The visual and topographic outcomes were compared preoperatively and postoperatively for the three enrolled groups.RESULTSThis study enrolled 92 eyes of 92 patients and had a mean ± standard deviation follow-up of 16.9 ± 9.2 months. The patients' medical records revealed that night vision complaints and halos around the light were experienced the most by the type III ectasia group (31.25%). For the type III ectasia group, four topographic indices and one visual parameter did not show statistically significant differences between the preoperative and postoperative data (inferior-superior difference at 2- and 4-mm diameter, coma aberration, higher order aberrations, and uncorrected distance visual acuity), contrary to the type I and II ectasia groups, which showed significant improvements in all evaluated parameters.CONCLUSIONSThe type III morphological pattern of ectasia is the least likely to benefit from KERATACx ring segments implantation.
