Detailed Description:
Higher-order aberrations (HOAs) are small optical irregularities of the eye, which can have an impact on the quality of the retinal image. In contrast to lower order aberrations, these errors cannot be corrected with regular spectacles and most contact lenses. Additionally, HOAs are responsible for an array of visual symptoms including dysphotopsia, glare, as well as a reduction in contrast sensitivity. The cornea accounts for approximately 90% of ocular aberrations.Advances and breakthroughs in wavefront aberration measurement technology can help clinicians to better understand and manage corneal higher-order aberrations (HOAs), especially for the preoperative planning of corneal refractive surgery and cataract surgery.A recent study has shown that corneal HOAs can be a sensitive parameter to differentiate early keratoconus from normal eyes. Furthermore, corneal aberrations have been widely used to evaluate dry eye and orthokeratology.LASIK surgery is widely used in the correction of refractive errors It is well known that LASIK surgery induces high-order aberrations (HOA) .The main eye element involved in the generation of such aberrations is the first corneal surface. Currently, devices based on Placido-disc, Hartmann- Shack, ray tracing, or Scheimpflug are routinely used in clinical aberration measurement. Of which Pentacam is one of common instruments that can only measure corneal aberration (including anterior and posterior corneal surface) based on Scheimpflug technology. Also Allegro Topolyzer is a Placido-based topographer that can measure anterior corneal higher order aberrations (HOAs). A better understanding of the agreement of device measurements can provide clinicians with useful information for measuring, correcting, and monitoring aberrations around refractive and cataract surgery. Investigators , therefore, aimed to study the agreement between the two instruments in anterior corneal aberration measurement.
