| Beschreibung: | Purpose
To prospectively assess the effect of regular application of perfluorohexyloctane (F6H8; Evotears®) on the tear film lipid layer, higher order aberrations (HOA) and the repeatability of measurements in healthy eyes. Methods This prospective clinical study included 104 eyes treated with F6H8 four times daily for four weeks (group A) and 101 eyes that served as controls (group B). Measurements were performed with the WASCA aberrometer (Carl Zeiss Meditec GmbH, Jena, Germany). Main outcome measurement in addition to subjective refraction were the root mean square values of HOA measured before and after the intervention. Results Regular use of F6H8 over a period of four weeks significantly increases HOA in healthy eyes (p < 0.05). In addition, the repeatability of measurement increases after the application of F6H8. Conclusion F6H8 may be a suitable treatment option to improve the accuracy of refractive assessment, although it increases HOA. Further studies are needed to confirm the effect on HOA and the repeatability of measurement. | |||||||
