Visual acuity and corneal higher-order aberrations after EX-PRESS or trabeculectomy, and the determination of associated factors that influence visual function.

Abstract:

PURPOSE:This study investigated postoperative visual acuity and corneal higher-order aberrations following EX-PRESS or trabeculectomy. METHODS:Out of 56 eyes of 56 patients analyzed, 30 eyes were treated using trabeculectomy, while 26 eyes were treated with EX-PRESS. Visual acuity and corneal higher-order aberrations were analyzed in both groups before and at 2 weeks, 1, 2, and 3 months after the surgeries. Risk factors that could potentially influence corneal higher-order aberrations were evaluated. RESULTS:Significant reductions in the IOP were observed at 3 months after the surgery in both groups. Although a significant decrease in the visual acuity (logMAR) was observed at 2 weeks after the surgery in both groups, at 1 month after the surgeries, there were no significant differences found for the vision as compared to the baseline. At each study visit in the trabeculectomy group, significantly higher corneal higher-order aberrations compared to baseline were noted. In the EX-PRESS group, however, these aberrations were no longer significantly different from the baseline at month 2 (P = 0.36). Analysis of the risk factors indicated that hypotony could influence corneal higher-order aberrations after surgery. CONCLUSIONS:Corneal higher-order aberrations were significantly increased at 1 month after EX-PRESS treatment, with levels returning to baseline by 2 months. After trabeculectomy, however, corneal higher-order aberrations remained significantly increased at 3 months after the procedure.
