Nesofilcon A versus etafilcon A on the ocular comfort levels in patients with short non-invasive break-up time: A prospective comparative study

Abstract

Aim: The aim of the study was to compare the two different hydrogel daily disposable contact lenses (HyDDCLs) satisfaction levels in patients with meibomian gland disfunction (MGD) and allergic conjunctivitis accompanied with short noninvasive tear break-up time (NIBUT).

Material and Methods: Fifty patients who had no history of contact lens and had short NIBUT were included to the study into two groups: allergic conjunctivitis findings (group 1) and MGD findings (group 2). All patients used both etafilcon A and nesofilcon A, respectively. The OSDI (Ocular Surface Disease Index) and CLDEQ-8 (Contact Lens Dry Eye Questionnaire- 8) tests were performed by the patients for each lens and the mean scores were compared. In addition, the decisions of all patients regarding the continued use of each lens were questioned.

Results: The mean of total scores of OSDI and CLDEQ-8 were statistically lower in nesofilcon A, significantly. The mean scores of the all OSDI subscales and the CLDEQ-8 subscales of dryness, discomfort, blurred vision and closing eyes were lower in nesofilcon A. Four patients (8%) were not satisfied by any of the lenses. 36 (72%) patients preferred nesofilcon A and remaining 10 (20%) patients preferred etafilcon A to continue.

Conclusion: Due to the hydrophilic structure and low modulus of the HyDDCLs, the satisfaction rate was found to be higher in the study group (92%). HyDDCLs could be a suitable option in cases where ocular surface diseases are accompanied. Hydrogel material with higher water content offers better comfort levels at the end of the day.

Kısa gözyaşı kırılma zamanı olan hastalarda etafilcon A ve nesofilcon A’nın oküler konfor seviyeleri açısından kıyaslanması: prospektif karşılaştırmalı çalışma

Öz

Amaç: Meibomian bez disfonksiyonu (MBD) ve alerjik konjonktivit ile birlikte kısa noninvaziv gözyaşı kırılma zamanı (NIBUT) olan hastalarda iki farklı hidrojel günlük tek kullanımlık kontakt lensin (HyDDCL) oküler konfor seviyelerinin karşılaştırılması.

Gereç ve Yöntem: Kontakt lens kullanımı öyküsü olmayan ve NIBUT'si kısa olan 50 hasta alerjik konjonktivit (grup 1) ve MBD (grup 2) bulgularına göre iki gruba alındı. Tüm hastalar sırasıyla hem etafilcon A hem de nesofilcon A kullandı. Hastalara her bir lens için OSDI (Ocular Surface Disease Index) ve CLDEQ-8 (Contact Lens Dry Eye Questionnaire-8) testleri yapıldı ve ortalama puanlar karşılaştırıldı. Ayrıca tüm hastaların her bir lensin kullanımına devam edilmesi ile ilgili kararları sorgulandı.

Bulgular: OSDI ve CLDEQ-8 testlerinden elde edilen toplam puanların ortalaması nesofilcon A için istatistiksel olarak anlamlı derece daha düşüktü. Nesofilcon A için OSDI'nin tüm alt ölçeklerinin ve CLDEQ-8 testindeki kuruluk, rahatsızlık, bulanık görme ve gözlerin kapanması alt ölçeklerinin ortalama puanları daha düşüktü. Otuz altı (%72) hasta kullanıma devam etmek üzere nesofilcon A'yı tercih ederken kalan 10 (%20) hasta devam etmek için etafilcon A'yı tercih etti. Dört hasta ise (%8) her iki lensten de memnun kalmadı.

Sonuç: HyDDCL'lerin hidrofilik yapısı ve düşük modulüsleri nedeniyle, etafilcon A ve nesofilcon A için memnuniyet oranı çalışma grubunda (%92) oldukça yüksek bulunmuştur. Bu nedenle oküler yüzey hastalıklarının eşlik ettiği durumlarda HyDDCL'ler uygun bir seçenek olabilir. Daha yüksek su içeriğine sahip hidrojel materyal varlığında oküler konfor seviyeleri çok daha iyi olmaktadır.
