The assessment encompassed measurements of accommodative facility, accommodation time, relaxation time, and accommodation-to-relaxation ratio using a smart flipper. Measurements were taken preoperatively, as well as at 1 day, 1 week, and 1 month postoperatively. Additionally, the visual fatigue scale score was assessed and compared at the 1 month mark post-surgery. Changes in parameters were quantified by calculating the difference between preoperative values and those recorded at each postoperative time point.RESULTSAt 1 month post-surgery, both FS-LASIK and SMILE procedures demonstrated potential for recovery or even improvement in accommodative facility, accommodation time, relaxation time, and accommodation-to-relaxation ratio compared to preoperative levels. The FS-LASIK group exhibited a greater magnitude of change in accommodative facility postoperatively compared to the SMILE group. In the low-to-moderate myopia subgroup, the FS-LASIK group exhibited lower changes in accommodation time and visual fatigue scale score at 1 month post-surgery compared to the SMILE group, with all associated p-values <0.05.CONCLUSIONSEarly postoperative recovery of accommodation function was slower following SMILE compared to FS-LASIK. Additionally, the severity of visual fatigue at 1 month post-surgery was greater in the SMILE group than in the FS-LASIK group. This difference in visual fatigue levels may be attributed to the delayed recovery observed in postoperative SMILE procedures.","PeriodicalId":21702,"journal":{"name":"Seminars in Ophthalmology","volume":"3 1","pages":"1-8"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2024-09-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142256568","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A comparative analysis of percentage reflux of saline (RFX), initial mucus in reflux (IMR), patient-reported transit time of saline (PR-TTS), and resistance encountered (RES) during LS was performed. Validated TEARS score was used. Subjective success was defined as ≥ 2-point improvement in T subscale of TEARS score. Objective success, as a decrease in RFX, RES, PR-TTS and absence of IMR, post-operatively.RESULTSFrom a total of 253 patients who underwent DCR surgery, 8 patients met the inclusion criteria. All patients were T4 (wiping >10× daily) indoors and outdoors. TEARS score improved after surgery with a mean reduction of T = 2.62, E = 1.63 and A = 1.35 (p < .05) with no significant change in R scores (p = .10). A mean reduction in RFX of 11.75 ± 6.74% and a median improvement of 1 point in PR-TTS and 2 point in RES was observed (p < .05). No significant changes of these parameters occurred in the contralateral side during this period. Subjective and objective success of DCR was 75% and 100%, respectively.CONCLUSIONSThis study is the first to attempt to combine qualitative \"soft\" observations during lacrimal irrigation such as IMR, RES and PR-TTS for identifying nasolacrimal outflow dysfunction and reporting outcomes using these parameters of DCR in patients with epiphora and ≤ 20% of fluid regurgitation. These parameters were greater in the more symptomatic side and successfully improved after DCR, making them a valuable tool to reach a provisional diagnosis.","PeriodicalId":21702,"journal":{"name":"Seminars in Ophthalmology","volume":"1 1","pages":"1-10"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2024-09-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142193987","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
