To Study the Effects of Refractive Surgery on OCT Measurements in the Eye

To Study the Effects of Refractive Surgery on Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) Measurements in the Eye: A Pilot Study

Sponsor

University of Nebraska

Enrollment

33 participants

Start Date

Jun 1, 2024

Study Type

OBSERVATIONAL

Conditions

Myopia Optical Coherence Tomography Refractive errors

Summary

Corrective eye surgeries, such as Lasik, are widely used to correct focusing problems such as myopia, or nearsightedness. Often these patients develop other conditions like myopic maculopathy or glaucoma which require monitoring with optical coherence tomography (OCT). Since OCT is a light-based test and changes the refractive status of the eye (in the cornea or the lens), it can potentially affect the results of the OCT measurements but has not been sufficiently studied. This pilot study aims at studying the potential change in OCT parameters in the eye after undergoing such surgery.

Interventions

DIAGNOSTIC_TESTOptical coherence tomography

Posterior segment OCT (a non-contact procedure performed over one minute) is additionally performed for patients participating in this study. Proportion of change in measurements in microns will be analyzed.
