Zusammenfassung

Hintergrund

Das Ziel dieser Studie ist die Untersuchung des Einflusses des Wellenfrontfehlers (WFF) auf die subjektive optische Qualität (SOQ) nach LASIK.

Methoden

Bei 41 myopen Augen (21 Patienten) wurde eine komplikationslose LASIK (Median −4,63 dpt) durchgeführt. Prä- und 1 Monat postoperativ wurden die SOQ für photopische und mesopische Lichtbedingungen mit einem Fragebogen erfragt und der WFF vermessen (6 mm). Es wurden 3 verschiedene WFF-Repräsentationen berechnet: 1. die Maßzahl VSOTF (visual Strehl ratio based on the optical transfer function), 2. RMS-Werte der Zernike-Ordnungen 2–5 und 3. Zernike-Koeffizient der Ordnungen 2–5. Die Beeinflussung der postoperativen SOQ durch den WFF wurde mittels linearer Regressionsanalyse ermittelt.

Ergebnisse

Für photopische Bedingungen war R2 für Modell 1 (VSOTF) 0,24. Für Modell 2 (RMS-Werte) war R2 0,31 und für Modell 3 (Koeffizienten) 0,29, wobei Aberrationen der 2. und der 5. Ordnung die SOQ signifikant beeinflussten. Für mesopische Bedingungen galten ähnliche Ergebnisse.

Schlussfolgerung

Die SOQ nach komplikationsloser LASIK kann partiell durch den postoperativen WFF erklärt werden.

Abstract

Purpose

To investigate the clinical impact of the postoperative ocular wavefront error (WFE) on subjective quality of vision (SQV) after LASIK.

Method

Forty-one myopic eyes of 21 patients underwent uneventful LASIK (median –4.63 D). Preoperatively and 1 month postoperatively, WFE measurements were performed and overall SQV was assessed for two lighting conditions (photopic and mesopic) with a questionnaire. Three different WFE representations were computed for a pupil diameter of 6 mm: (1) the visual quality metric VSOTF (visual Strehl ratio based on the optical transfer function), (2) RMS (root mean square) values of the Zernike orders 2–5, and (3) individual Zernike coefficient for orders 2–5. The impact of the postoperative WFE on SQV was calculated using linear regression analysis.

Results

For photopic conditions R2 was 0.24 for model 1 (VSOTF), 0.31 for model 2 (RMS values), and 0.29 for model 3 (Zernike coefficients). Second-and fifth-order aberrations had significant influence on SQV. For mesopic conditions, results were similar.

Conclusion

Subjective quality of vision after wavefront-guided LASIK could be explained partially by the ocular WFE.
