Spectacle Adherence Among Four-Year-Old Children in the Infant Aphakia Treatment Study.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To evaluate spectacle adherence with impact-resistant lenses among 4-year-old children after unilateral cataract surgery in the Infant Aphakia Treatment Study.

Design

Retrospective cohort analysis of randomized clinical trial data.

Methods

Setting: Multicenter.

Patients

One hundred and fourteen children randomized to contact lens correction or intraocular lens implantation following unilateral cataract surgery during infancy.

Intervention

One-week diaries completed annually and retrospective telephone interviews conducted every 3 months to age 5 years to assess spectacle adherence with impact-resistant lenses. Visual acuity was assessed by a traveling examiner at age 4.5 years.

Main outcome measures

Spectacle adherence between ages 4 and 5 years.

Results

Children with 20/40 or better vision in their treated eye were more likely to wear spectacles ≥80% of their waking hours than children with vision worse than 20/40 (66% vs 42%, P = .034). Reported adherence to spectacle wear correlated with reported patching (r = 0.30, P = .002). Spectacle adherence did not correlate with sex, type of healthcare insurance, or the refractive error in the treated or fellow eye. Seven patients with reduced vision in their treated eye reported <10% spectacle adherence.

Conclusions

These results confirm that it is possible to achieve high levels of spectacle adherence among 4-year-old children after unilateral cataract surgery during infancy. However, children with vision worse than 20/40 in their worse eye, who needed eye protection the most, had the worst adherence.

Project description:PurposeWe report endothelial cell (EC) characteristics and central corneal thickness (CCT) from the Infant Aphakia Treatment Study (IATS) patients at the 5-year examination.DesignRandomized, controlled trial of the treatment of unilateral cataract with aphakic contact lens (CL) versus primary intraocular lens (IOL) implant.ParticipantsA total of 114 infants with unilateral cataract.MethodsThe EC density, coefficient of variation (CV), and percent hexagonal cells were measured by noncontact specular microscopy. The CCT was measured using contact pachymetry. Fellow eyes served as controls.Main outcome measuresMean differences between treated and fellow eyes of CL and IOL groups were compared with a paired t test. A 1-way analysis of variance model and the Tukey-Kramer multiple comparison procedure were used to assess the effect of a diagnosis of glaucoma or glaucoma suspect.ResultsA total of 105 subjects (52 with CLs, 53 with IOLs) had specular microscopy or corneal thickness data recorded. Mean EC densities were higher in aphakic eyes compared with fellow eyes (3921 vs. 3495 cells/mm2, P<0.0001). Mean CV was higher (27 vs. 24, P=0.0002) and mean percent hexagonal cells was lower (72% vs. 76%, P=0.002) in aphakic eyes compared with fellow eyes. Mean CCT of aphakic eyes was higher than in controls (637 vs. 563 μm, P<0.0001). There was no difference in EC density in eyes treated with IOLs compared with fellow eyes (3445 and 3487 cells/mm2, P=0.68). Means for CV (25 vs. 24, P=0.07) and percent hexagonal cells (74 vs. 76%, P=0.27) were also not significantly different. Mean CCT was higher in eyes with IOLs (605 vs. 571 μm, P<0.0001) compared with fellow eyes. Compared with treated eyes without glaucoma or glaucoma suspect, treated eyes with glaucoma had lower EC density (3289 vs. 3783 cells/mm2, P=0.03) and treated eyes with glaucoma suspect had greater mean corneal thickness (660 vs. 612 μm, P=0.0036).ConclusionsCataract extraction during infancy with IOL implantation was not associated with a reduced EC count in treated compared with fellow eyes, although CCT was increased. Extended-wear aphakic CLs may cause corneal polymegathism with increased EC density and CCT. Glaucoma diagnosis was associated with reduced EC counts and increased CCT.
