Abstract
AbstractForceps corneal injuries during infant delivery cause Descemet membrane (DM) breaks, that cause corneal astigmatism and corneal endothelial decompensation. The aim of this study is to characterise corneal higher-order aberrations (HOAs) and corneal topographic patterns in corneal endothelial decompensation due to obstetric forceps injury. This retrospective study included 23 eyes of 21 patients (54.0 ± 9.0 years old) with forceps corneal injury, and 18 healthy controls. HOAs and coma aberrations were significantly larger in forceps injury (1.05 [0.76–1.98] μm, and 0.83 [0.58–1.69], respectively) than in healthy controls (0.10 [0.08–0.11], and 0.06 [0.05–0.07], respectively, both P < 0.0001). Patient visual acuity was positively correlated with coma aberration (rs = 0.482, P = 0.023). The most common topographic patterns were those of protrusion and regular astigmatism (both, six eyes, 26.1%), followed by asymmetric (five eyes, 21.7%), and flattening (four eyes, 17.4%). These results indicate that increased corneal HOAs are associated with decreased visual acuity in corneal endothelial decompensation with DM breaks and corneal topography exhibits various patterns in forceps injury.
