Role of Corneal Contour The anterior corneal surface is the major refractive
component of the human eye and major determinant in quality of optical image
Ideally, cornea must have an optical zone consisting of an elliptical surface with an adequate shape factor (Q factor or asphericity) to minimize curvature induced ocular aberrations and optimal image formation.Calossi A. Corneal Asphericity and Spherical Aberration. J Refract Surg 2007;23:505-514.
Limited literature exists correlating corneal asphericity with ocular aberrations. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study correlating Higher order ocular aberrations with asphericity of corneal contour.
Study Design: An observational cross sectional prospective study
Study Population Group I : 500 emmetropic eyes (refractive error
0+0.25 D) Group II : 500 myopic eyes (refractive error > -
0.25 to < -6.0 diopters)
Purpose
Patients and Methods
Correlation Of Corneal Contour With Higher Order Ocular Aberrations (HOA) In Indian Eyes
Methods
Exclusion criteria• Corneal degenerations
and dystrophies• Corneal scarring after
infective diseases• Dry eye patients• Any Other ocular
(BCVA)of 6/9 or better.• Normal ocular examination,
emmetropia or Myopia < 6 D.
Aberrometric Analysis by OPD Scan
Thibos et al. Standards for reporting the optical aberrations of eyes. J Refract Surg 2002; 18:S652–S660
Aberrometric Data Interpretation and Analysis
Step 1: OPD Scan Analysis Step 2: Zernike polynomials at 6mm transformed into
Step 3: Statistical Analysis ‘t-test’ (for normal Distribution) & for
skewed data Mann- Whitney test. Relationship between different
variables using Spearman and Pearson correlation coefficient
•Root mean square (RMS) of higher order aberration (HOA) from the 3rd to 6th orders
•RMS of the spherical aberration (SA) (square root of the sum of the squared coefficients of Z4 0 and Z6
0),
•RMS of coma (square root of the sum of the squared coefficients of Z3
-1, Z31, Z5
-1,and Z51),
• RMS of trefoil (square root of the sum of the squared coefficients of Z3
-3, Z33, Z5
-3,and Z53

Significance of wavefront aberrations with Corneal Asphericity in emmetropic eyes
Significant association of total HOA, coma, spherical aberration with Oblate cornea in emmetropic eyes
The mean RMS value of total HOAs, coma, and spherical aberration were significantly higher in oblate then prolate corneas
Emmetropic eyes • Higher keratometric value > 46 diopter was associated with
significantly higher value total wavefront aberration, total HOAs, 3rd order, 5th order as well as trefoil
• We found Oblate corneas (Q > 0) were associated with higher total HOAs, coma and spherical aberration
Myopic eyes • Higher keratometric value > 46 diopter was associated with significantly higher value of trefoil• Oblate corneas (Q > 0) were associated with higher total HOAs and spherical aberration
Our study highlights the association of corneal asphericity with HOA Higher keratometric (>46 D) and oblate cornea were associated with significantly higher amount of HOAs
