| description | The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of increase in intraocular pressure (IOP) and cooccurring changes in ocular biometry parameters on the corneal optical coherence tomography (OCT) speckle distribution in ex-vivo experiments on porcine intact eyes. Twenty-three eyeballs were used in the inflation test where IOP in the anterior chamber was precisely set from 10 mmHg to 40 mmHg in steps of 5 mmHg and where eye biometry was utilized (IOL Master 700). To assess the influence of the duration of the experiment on the OCT speckle statistics, the second experiment was performed with 10 eyeballs at the constant IOP of 15 mmHg. Based on the OCT scans of central cornea (Copernicus REVO), spatial maps of the scale parameter (a) and the shape parameter (v) of the gamma distribution speckle model were estimated. The means of both parameters for each spatial map were computed within the 2 mm of the central stroma. Both distributional parameters statistically significantly varied with IOP and time (one way repeated measures ANOVA, all p-values < 0.001). The a parameter revealed a faster statistically significant increase in IOP up to 25 mmHg, regardless of time. Central corneal thickness (CCT), the anterior chamber depth, and the mean equivalent spherical power varied significantly with IOP, whereas CCT and axial length changed statistically significantly with time. Statistically significant correlation was found between CCT and the a parameter, after removing IOP as a confounding factor (r = -0.576, p < 0.001). The parameters of the gamma distribution can be used not only for identifying IOP induced changes in the optical scattering within the corneal stroma, but also in corneal geometry. The approach of corneal speckle analysis could be potentially utilized for an indirect and noninvasive assessment of some properties of corneal stroma. |
