<strong>ARVO</strong> 2013 Annual Meeting Abstracts by Scientific Section/Group - <strong>Cornea</strong>Commercial Relationships: Eric H. Chan, None; Martin N.Nakatsu, None; Sophie X.

Henderson 2 . 1 Ophthalmology, BostonUniversity, Boston, MA; 2 Ophthalmic Consultants of Boston, Boston,MA.Purpose: <strong>Cornea</strong>l higher order aberrations (HOA) are commonculprits in symptoms such as glare, halos, night vision disturbances,and decreased contrast sensitivity. These can become even moreapparent after cataract surgery with presbyopia correcting multifocalintraocular lenses. Evaluation of HOAs has been proposed asscreening tool to predict which patients may be dissatisfied afterimplantation of these lenses. This project compares the incidence andtypes of higher order aberrations in patients presenting for cataractextraction.Methods: Retrospective case series of consecutive patients whopresented for cataract extraction. Patients underwent topographicaland higher order corneal wavefront mapping with the Nidek OPD 2.Age, gender, amounts and types of corneal higher order aberrationswere recorded in both eyes.Results: 200 eyes (100 patients) were evaluated. Trefoil was noted tohave the highest incidence and highest Z-coefficient values across allage groups. It accounted for more of the total higher order aberrationsthan coma or quatrefoil. This was also noted to be consistent betweeneyes. A correlation between increasing age and increasing totalamounts of quatrefoil was also observed. The average values forcoma were similar between eyes across all age groups.Conclusions: The total amount of corneal HOA, especiallyquatrefoil, increased with age. The most common HOA and highestZernike coefficient in patients undergoing cataract surgery wastrefoil. Knowing the average amount of different HOAs may beuseful when evaluating the HOA maps of preoperative patients whoare choosing multifocal intraocular lenses in order to better predictpost operative satisfaction. Given the large variation of errorsbetween eyes, each eye should be evaluated separately and successfuloutcome in one eye does not necessarily mean similar success can beanticipated in the fellow eye.Commercial Relationships: Neil M.

Henriquez, Luis Izquierdo, Harumi M. Moreyra.Ophthalmology, Oftalmo-Salud, Lima, Peru.Purpose: To evaluate the efficacy of several parameters obtainedfrom Dual Scheimpflug Analyzer to discriminate between formefruste keratoconus, keratoconus and low and high ametropia.Methods: This prospective study included 382 eyes (100 eyes withlow ametropia, 50 with high cylinder, 29 with high myopia, 41 formefruste keratoconus and 162 keratoconus). Scheimpflug imaging usingthe Galilei Dual Scheimpflug Analyzer (Ziemer) was performed and30 parameters derived from pachymetry, curvature, anterior andposterior elevation maps, corneal wavefront high order aberrations,asphericity and others was recorded. Receiver operating characteristiccurves (ROC) was used and logistic regression analysis was used toevaluate the sensitivity and specificity of the parameters in aconstructed model.Results: There were statistically significant difference between lowametropic eyes and high cylinder group in the anterior and posteriorelevation at the thinnest point of the cornea (p < 0.001 both). Therewere not statistically significant differences between the lowametropic eye and high myopic group in pachymetric and elevationvariables (p > .05). Logistic regression analysis showed that acombination of corneal power, thickness, elevation, and cornealaberrations had a 100% sensitivity and specificity discriminatingbetween low ametropic eyes and keratoconus.Conclusions: Combined analysis of anterior and posterior cornealpower, thickness, elevation and corneal aberrations effectivelydiscriminated between ectatic corneas and normal corneas. Highastigmatism group showed greater posterior elevation values thanhigh myopic group and eyes with low refraction.Commercial Relationships: Maria A. Henriquez, None; LuisIzquierdo, None; Harumi M.

Shtein 1 . 1 Ophthalmologyand Visual Sciences, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, MI;2 Biomedical Engineering, Duke University, Durham, NC.Purpose: To examine the relationship between neuroretinal thicknessand corneal nerve fiber length (CNFL) relative to diabetic neuropathy(DN) status in patients with diabetes mellitus (DM)Methods: In this cross-sectional study, we examined 25 diabeticpatients without DN, 10 patients with mild DN, 8 patients with severeDN, and 9 controls without diabetes. DN status was assigned basedon a combination of clinical symptoms, signs, and neurophysiologictesting. Patients underwent optical coherence tomography (OCT)imaging of the retina, in vivo confocal microscopy (IVCM) of thecorneal sub-basal nerve plexus, and nerve conduction velocity (NCV)testing. DOCTRAP software was used to segment inner retinal layerboundaries. Post-hoc analysis of the OCT and IVCM images wasperformed to quantify the average thickness of each retinal layer andthe average CNFL. ANOVA was used to assess for differences inretinal thickness, CNFL, and NCV among the subjects. Pearsoncorrelations were used to evaluate the relationship between NCV andthe retinal and corneal parameters.Results: All 25 diabetic patients without DN had type 1 DM, and theremaining patients with DN had type 2 DM. There were nosignificant differences in average retinal nerve fiber layer, ganglioncell/inner plexiform layer, inner nuclear layer, outer plexiform layer,outer nuclear layer/inner segment, outer segment, retinal pigmentepithelial, or total retinal thicknesses among the 4 groups. Patientswith type 2 DM and severe DN had reduced corneal nerves (CNFL ±SD = 12.5 ± 6.1 mm/mm 2 ) compared to controls (20.7 ± 2.2mm/mm 2 ) (p=0.009). Persons with type 1 DM without DN also hadreduced CNFL (15.1 ± 4.7 mm/mm 2 ) relative to controls (p=0.033).Peroneal NCV was reduced only in severe DN (mean velocity ± SD =32.4 ± 4.1 m/s) relative to controls (45.8 ± 6.9 m/s) (p
