Base Curves of Bandage Contact Lenses and Their Effects on Post Trans-PRK Vision and Pain

The objective of this study was to investigate the impact of employing bandage contact lenses with a base curve of 8.4 mm versus 8.8 mm on visual recovery following Trans-PRK in patients characterized by steep corneas and high myopia.

About this study

Comparing two kind of bandage lenses in the contralateral eyes of the same individual following Trans-PRK may enable the derivation of reliable conclusions regarding the optimal choice for bandage lenses after Trans-PRK.

Treatment and study plan

single-step Trans-PRK

Procedure

Both eyes were treated consecutively in each patient by single-step Trans-PRK performed by SCHWIND Amaris 500 S excimer laser platform (SCHWIND eye-tech-solutions GmbH, Kleinostheim, Germany). Topical Proparacaine Hydrochloride Eye Drops 0.5% (Alcaine, Alcon, Fort Worth, TX, USA) were used to anesthetize the eyes, and use povidone-iodine to disinfect the eyelid skin. After a lid speculum had been inserted, and the other eye was blocked. Epithelial and stromal ablations were performed using a single continuous laser shooting session on an excimer laser platform. After the appeals step, Mitomycin C 0.02 % was applied to the stromal surface for 20 s, then rinse with cold salt water.

Behavioral

Primary outcomes

  1. Early postoperative uncorrected visual acuity

    Time frame: 14 days

    All visual acuity measurements were performed using a standard logarithmic eye chart

Secondary outcomes

  1. re-epithelialization after Trans-PRK

    Time frame: 1 week

    A ophthalmologist will examine the corneal epithelium in all eyes. The assessment of corneal epithelial defects involves measuring the horizontal and vertical diameters using a slit lamp beam with a ruler. The extent of corneal epithelial defects is determined by calculating the area of the ellipse (S=πa×b).

  2. postoperative pain score after Trans-PRK

    Time frame: 2 weeks

    Patients will be asked to complete a pain questionnaire at postoperative 0, 2, 12 hours and 1, 4, 7, 14 days. A visual analog scale (VAS) was employed to assess the severity of pain in each eye. The scores are defined as follows: 0 points: no pain; 1-3 points: mild pain, does not affect work and life; 4-6 points: moderate pain, affects work, does not affect life; 7-10 points: severe pain, affects both work and life

  3. spherical equivalent after Trans-PRK

    Time frame: 1 week

    Optometry is performed using a computerized optometre. The spherical equivalent (SE) was calculated using the formula DS+DC/2, where DS denotes the diopter sphere and DC denotes the diopter cylinder.
