Item Letter in response to article in journal of infection: “High SARS-CoV-2 antibody prevalence among healthcare workers exposed to COVID-19 patients”(Journal of infection, 2020) Arriola Villalobos, Pedro; Fernández Pérez, Cristina; Ariño Gutiérrez, Mayte; Fernández Vigo, José Ignacio; Benito Pascual, Blanca; Cabello Clotet, Noemí; Mayol Martínez, Julio; Gegúndez Fernández, José Antonio; Díaz Valle, David; Benítez del Castillo, José Manuel; García Feijoo, JuliánItem Effects of Implantable Collamer Lens V4c Placement on Iridocorneal Angle Measurements by Fourier-Domain Optical Coherence Tomography(American Journal of Ophthalmology, 2016) Fernández-Vigo, José Ignacio; Macarro Merino, Ana; Fernández-Vigo Escribano, Cristina; Fernández-Vigo, José Ángel; Martínez De La Casa Fernández-Borrella, José María; Fernández Pérez, Cristina; García Feijoo, JuliánPurpose To assess by Fourier-domain optical coherence tomography (FDOCT) changes produced in iridocorneal angle measurements in patients undergoing Visian Implantable Collamer Lens (ICL) V4c (STAAR Surgical AG) placement. Design Prospective interventional case series. Methods In 50 eyes of 25 myopic subjects consecutively scheduled for ICL implant, FDOCT (RTVue; Optovue Inc) iridocorneal angle measurements were made before and 1 and 3 months after surgery. Trabecular-iris angle (TIA) and angle opening distance 500 μm anterior to the scleral spur (AOD500) were compared among the quadrants nasal, temporal, and inferior, and correlations with ocular variables including lens vault were examined. Results Preoperative TIA was 48.7 ± 8.7, 48.2 ± 8.7, and 48.7 ± 9.3 degrees for the nasal, temporal, and inferior quadrants, with no differences (P= 1.000). Following ICL implant, corresponding values fell to 31.2 ± 11.5, 30.0 ± 10.7, and 29.7 ± 8.1 degrees at 1 month postsurgery, indicating angle narrowing of 34%-42%, and to 30.6 ± 12.3, 30.1 ± 11.9, and 29.8 ± 12.3 degrees, respectively, at 3 months postsurgery. Angle measurements failed to vary between 1 month and 3 months postsurgery (P= .481). In 8 eyes, iridotrabecular contact attributable to surgery was observed. One month after surgery, vault measurements correlated with TIA (R = -.309;P= .048). Six variables were identified as predictors of TIA at 1 month postsurgery (R2= .907). Conclusions Although considerable angle narrowing was detected 1 month after ICL V4c implant, this narrowing remained stable at 3 months postsurgery. Factors predictive of TIA could serve to identify suitable candidates for ICL placement.Item Fourier domain optical coherence tomography to assess the iridocorneal angle and correlation study in a large Caucasian population(BMC Ophthalmology, 2016) Fernández Vigo, José Ignacio; García Feijoo, Julián; Martínez De La Casa Fernández-Borrella, José María; García Bella, Javier; Arriola Villalobos, Pedro; Fernández Pérez, Cristina; Fernández Vigo, José ÁngelBackground: Recently, novel anatomic parameters that can be measured by optical coherence tomography (OCT), have been identified as a more objective and accurate method of defining the iridocorneal angle. The aim of the present study is to measure the iridocorneal angle by Fourier domain (FD) OCT and to identify correlations between angle measurements and subject factors in a large healthy Caucasian population. Methods: A cross sectional study was performed in 989 left eyes of 989 healthy subjects. The iridocorneal angle measurements: trabecular-iris angle (TIA), angle opening distance (AOD500) and trabecular-iris space area (TISA500) 500 μm from the scleral spur, were made using the FD-OCT RTVue®. Iris thickness was also measured. Correlations were examined between angle measurements and demographic and ocular factors. The main determinants of angle width were identified by multivariate linear regression. Results: TIA could be measured in 94 % of the eyes, and AOD500 and TISA500 in 92 %. The means recorded were TIA 35.8 ± 12.2 degrees (range 1.5 to 76.1), AOD500 542.6 ± 285.4 μm (range 15 to 1755), and TISA500 0.195 ± 0.104 mm2 (range 0.02 to 0.62). The correlation between the temporal and nasal quadrant was R = 0.902 for TIA. The reproducibility of measurements was excellent (intraclass correlation coefficient >0.947). Mean angle width measurements were smaller in women (p = 0.02). Correlation was detected between angle means and anterior chamber volume (ACV; R = 0.848), anterior chamber depth (ACD; R = 0.818), spherical error (R = -0.619) and age (R = -0.487), while no correlation was observed with Intraocular pressure (R = -0.052). ACV emerged as the main determinant of TIA (R2 = 0.705; p < 0.001). Conclusions: In this Caucasian population, strong correlation was detected between FD-OCT anterior angle measurements and ACV, ACD, spherical refractive error and sex, emerging the ACV as the main determinant of TIA.Item Glaukos iStent inject® Trabecular Micro-Bypass Implantation Associated with Cataract Surgery in Patients with Coexisting Cataract and Open-Angle Glaucoma or Ocular Hypertension: A Long-Term Study(Journal of Ophthalmology, 2016) Arriola Villalobos, Pedro; Martínez De La Casa Fernández-Borrella, José María; Díaz Valle, David; Morales Fernández, Laura; Fernández Pérez, Cristina; García Feijoo, JuliánPurpose. To evaluate the long-term efficacy and safety of the iStent inject device (Glaukos Corporation, Laguna Hills, CA) combined with phacoemulsification in patients with coexistent cataract and open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension (OHT). Methods. A prospective, uncontrolled, nonrandomized, interventional case series study was conducted in patients with both mild or moderate open-angle glaucoma or OHT and cataract. Patients underwent cataract surgery along with the implant of two iStent inject devices. Outcome measures were intraocular pressure (IOP), topical hypotensive medications required, and best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA). Results. 20 patients were enrolled. Mean follow-up was months. Mean baseline IOP was mmHg with medication and mmHg after washout. Mean end-follow-up IOP was mmHg, representing an IOP decrease of 36.92%, mmHg (), from baseline washout IOP. The mean number of medications was significantly reduced from to (). 45% of patients were medication-free by the end of follow-up. Mean BCVA improved significantly from to (). No complications of surgery were observed. Conclusion. The iStent inject device combined with cataract surgery served to significantly reduce both IOP and medication use in the long term in patients with coexistent open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension (OHT) and cataract.Item Ocular Surface Disease in Patients under Topical Treatment for Glaucoma(European Journal of Ophthalmology, 2018) Pérez Bartolomé, Francisco; Martínez De La Casa Fernández-Borrella, José María; Arriola Villalobos, Pedro; Fernández Pérez, Cristina; Polo Llorens, Vicente; García Feijoo, JuliánPurpose: To examine the relationship between ocular surface disease (OSD) and topical antiglaucoma therapy. Methods: A total of 211 eyes of 211 patients with open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension on topical medication were recruited over 10 months. Controls were 51 eyes of 51 healthy age- and sex-matched volunteers. In each patient, we recorded the intraocular pressure-lowering eyedrops used, the number of medications used, and daily and cumulative preservative concentrations (PC). Main outcome measures were fluorescein corneal staining score (Oxford scale), lower tear meniscus height (LTMH) (spectral-domain optical coherence tomography), noninvasive tear film breakup time (NI-TBUT) (Oculus Keratograph 5M), and OSD symptom questionnaire index (OSDI). Results: Compared to controls, significantly higher OSDI (median [interquartile range] 10.24 [4.54-18.94] vs 2.5 [0-12.5]; p<0.001) and corneal staining (≥1: 64.93% vs 32.61%; p<0.001) scores were recorded in the medication group. The NI-TBUT and LTMH failed to vary between the groups (p>0.05). A higher daily PC was associated with a lower LTMH (R −0.142; p = 0.043). In the medication group, multivariate analysis identified correlations between benzalkonium chloride (BAK) (odds ratio [OR] 1.56) and BAK plus polyquaternium-containing drops (OR 5.09) or higher OSDI (OR 1.06) and abnormal corneal staining test results and between older age (mean ratio [MR] 1.05), longer treatment duration (MR 1.02), or corneal staining presence (MR 1.22) and a higher OSDI score. Conclusions: Ocular surface disease was more prevalent in the medication group. The main factors impacting OSD were drops with preservatives, longer treatment duration, and older age.
