BACKGROUND: In earlier studies, an irregular tear film could be responsible for artifacts in imaging procedures in ophthalmology. As a result, this study will investigate the influence of hyaluronic acid-containing tear substitutes of different viscosities on the measurement results of optical coherence tomography and on the non-invasive tear film break-up time.
METHODS: The study included three sessions in which three hyaluronic acid tear substitutes of different viscosities (Hylo-Vision 0.1%, 0.2%, 0.3%, OmniVision GmbH, Puchheim, Germany) were applied to each subject. In 20 healthy volunteers, the non-invasive tear film break-up time was measured before and after the application of the tear substitutes using Keratograph 5M (Oculus GmbH, Wetzlar, Germany) and optical coherence tomography using 3D OCT-2000 (Topcon, Hamburg, Germany).
RESULTS: The median age of the volunteers was 28.5 years. 11 women (55%) and 9 men (45%) were examined. The non-invasive tear film break-up time improved significantly (p = 0.027) after the application of 0.3% hyaluronic acid. In the study, no significant difference was found in all OCT parameters used before and after application of the different viscous hyaluronic acid-containing tear substitutes.
CONCLUSION: In this study, no influence of tear substitutes containing different viscosities of hyaluronic acid on the measurement results of optical coherence tomography could be determined. Therefore, 0.1%, 0.2% and 0.3% hyaluronic acid can be applied to the patient to improve the corneal surface before the examination with optical coherence tomography, without influencing the measurement results of optical coherence tomography.
