| 1 | Artificial neural network to guide intracorneal ring segments implantation for keratoconus treatment:a pilot study显示文摘Background:To analyze the clinical results of an artificial neural network(ANN)that has been processed in order to improve the predictability of intracorneal ring segments(ICRS)implantation in keratoconus.Methods:This retrospective,comparative,nonrandomized,pilot,clinical study included a cohort of 20 keratoconic eyes implanted with intracorneal ring segments KeraRing(Mediphacos,Belo Horizonte,Brazil)using the ANN(ANN group)and 20 keratoconic eyes implanted with KeraRing using the manufacturer’s nomograms(nomogram group).Uncorrected distance visual acuity(UDVA),corrected distance visual acuity(CDVA)(visual acuity is expressed in decimal value and in LogMAR value in brackets),manifest refraction,corneal topography,tomography,aberrometry,pachymetry and volume analysis(Sirius System.CSO,Firenze,Italy)were performed during the preoperative visit;and the two groups,ANN group and nomogram group,did not differ significantly preoperatively in all of the parameters evaluated.These preoperative values were compared with the results obtained at the third-month visit.Mann-Whitney test and Wilcoxon test were used for the statistical analyses.Results:The spherical equivalent and the keratometric values decreased significantly in both groups.The CDVA improved from 0.60±0.23(0.22 LogMAR)pre-operatively to 0.73±0.21(0.14 LogMAR)post-operatively in the ANN group(p<0.005),and from 0.54±0.19(0.27 LogMAR)pre-operatively to 0.62±0.19(0.21 LogMAR)post-operatively in the nomogram group(p<0.01),with statistically significant difference between the two groups(p<0.05),being better in the ANN group.Coma-like aberrations decreased significantly in the ANN group,while in the nomogram group they did not change significantly,but no statistically significant difference was found between the two groups.Conclusions:ANN to guide ICRS provides an increase in the visual acuity,reduction in the spherical equivalent and improvement in the optical quality of keratoconus patients.ANN gives better results when compared with the manufacturer’s nomograms in terms of better corrected vision and reduction of the coma-like aberrations.The constant inclusion of new cases will make the predictability of ANN increasingly better as the software finetunes its learning. | Chiara Fariselli Alfredo Vega-Estrada Francisco Arnalich-Montiel Jorge L.Alio | 2020 | Eye and Vision2020,7,1: | 1 |
| 2 | Corneal transplantation outcomes after the extrusion of an intrastromal keratoprosthesis:a pilot study显示文摘This short report includes 5 eyes of 5 patients(mean age 63.2±12 years)who underwent a tectonic keratoplasty[deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty(DALK)or penetrating keratoplasty(PK)]in order to rehabilitate the eye after the extrusion of the non-perforating keratoprosthesis(Kpro)KeraKlear(KeraMed,USA).The non-perforating Kpro was extruded after a mean period of 21.4±21.8 months due to melting.In two cases,the keratoplasty was performed the same day of the non-perforating Kpro removal due to a severe melting,while in the other three cases it was performed one to 3 months later.Two eyes received a DALK,but in 3 eyes a macroscopic Descemet membrane perforation forced the conversion into a PK.The mean follow-up period after the keratoplasty was 16.8±6.6 months.No cases of rejection were recorded.All the 5 eyes achieved“anatomical success”(transparent graft,with no signs of infection or inflammation).Two eyes showed limited“functional success”because the achievement of the best visual potential was prevented by the development of glaucomatous optic atrophy during the follow-up period.In conclusion,this short report presents an unexpected success of a keratoplasty performed with a tectonic purpose after the extrusion of the non-perforating Kpro because the corneal graft remained transparent,without neovascularization or scarring during the follow-up period.This initial evidence shows some encouraging results regarding graft survival rate and the achievement of a useful visual rehabilitation with keratoplasty after a nonperforating Kpro failure instead of repeating the Kpro implantation. | Chiara Fariselli Ibrahim Toprak Olena Al-Shymali Jorge L.Alio del Barrio Jorge L.Alio | 2020 | Eye and Vision2020,7,1: | 0 |
