OBJECTIVE To compare the root mean square (RMS) of anterior corneal higher-order aberrations (HOAs) in ametropic and emmetropic eyes. METHODS This retrospective observational study was conducted at the Department of Ophthalmology, Tishreen University Hospital, Latakia, Syria. Study eyes were divided into four groups based on refractive error: mild-to-moderate myopia, hypermetropia, myopic astigmatism, and emmetropic eyes as controls. The following anterior corneal HOAs were evaluated using the Scheimpflug-Placido Sirius (CSO, Italy) tomographer over 6 mm pupil: Root mean square (RMS) total corneal HOAs, RMS trefoil, RMS coma and RMS spherical aberrations. RESULTS RMS values of total HOAs, trefoil and coma showed statistically significant differences in all four groups (P < 0.05, all). HOAs were noted to be lowest in the control group (0.18 ± 0.09, 011 ± 0.08 and 0.09 ± 0.08 μm, respectively) and highest in the myopic astigmatism group (0.31 ± 0.16, 0.15 ± 0.12, 0.17 ± 0.14 μm, respectively). RMS spherical aberration was lowest in the astigmatism group (0.00 ± 0.16 μm) with a statistically significant difference from that in the control group (0.05 ± 0.07 μm, P = 0.049). CONCLUSIONS The mean RMS values of total HOAs, trefoil and coma were highest in the astigmatism group and lowest in the control group. However, spherical aberration was minimal in the astigmatism group. A better understanding and targeted treatment of higher-order aberrations in ametropic human eyes, and in particular eyes with astigmatism, may enhance visual quality and performance in the treatment of refractive errors. Recognising atypical HOAs may also assist in the early detection of pathological conditions such as keratoconus.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D012030 Refractive Errors Deviations from the average or standard indices of refraction of the eye through its dioptric or refractive apparatus. Ametropia,Refractive Disorders,Ametropias,Disorder, Refractive,Disorders, Refractive,Error, Refractive,Errors, Refractive,Refractive Disorder,Refractive Error
D003128 Coma A profound state of unconsciousness associated with depressed cerebral activity from which the individual cannot be aroused. Coma generally occurs when there is dysfunction or injury involving both cerebral hemispheres or the brain stem RETICULAR FORMATION. Comatose,Pseudocoma,Comas,Pseudocomas
D003315 Cornea The transparent anterior portion of the fibrous coat of the eye consisting of five layers: stratified squamous CORNEAL EPITHELIUM; BOWMAN MEMBRANE; CORNEAL STROMA; DESCEMET MEMBRANE; and mesenchymal CORNEAL ENDOTHELIUM. It serves as the first refracting medium of the eye. It is structurally continuous with the SCLERA, avascular, receiving its nourishment by permeation through spaces between the lamellae, and is innervated by the ophthalmic division of the TRIGEMINAL NERVE via the ciliary nerves and those of the surrounding conjunctiva which together form plexuses.

D001251 Astigmatism Unequal or irregular curvature of the CORNEA (Corneal astigmatism) and/or the EYE LENS (Lenticular astigmatism) resulting in REFRACTIVE ERROR.

D014792 Visual Acuity Clarity or sharpness of OCULAR VISION or the ability of the eye to see fine details. Visual acuity depends on the functions of RETINA, neuronal transmission, and the interpretative ability of the brain. Normal visual acuity is expressed as 20/20 indicating that one can see at 20 feet what should normally be seen at that distance. Visual acuity can also be influenced by brightness, color, and contrast. Acuities, Visual,Acuity, Visual,Visual Acuities

D019781 Corneal Topography The measurement of curvature and shape of the anterior surface of the cornea using techniques such as keratometry, keratoscopy, photokeratoscopy, profile photography, computer-assisted image processing and videokeratography. This measurement is often applied in the fitting of contact lenses and in diagnosing corneal diseases or corneal changes including keratoconus, which occur after keratotomy and keratoplasty.
