Abstract

Background: This study aimed to identify the features of ocular biometry in patients with EYS-related retinitis pigmentosa using IOLMaster 700.

Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of patients with retinitis pigmentosa. Patients with records of the following were included: (1) ocular biometry measurements using the IOLMaster 700 and (2) genetic diagnostic tests. Axial length, keratometry, anterior chamber depth, aqueous depth, lens thickness, central corneal thickness (CCT), and corneal diameter (white to white) measurements were extracted. Based on keratometry measurements, (1) standard keratometric astigmatism, (2) posterior corneal astigmatism, and (3) total corneal astigmatism were obtained. Demographics and biometric parameters were compared between patients with EYS-related retinitis pigmentosa and other patients with retinitis pigmentosa.

Results: A total of 86 eyes of 44 patients (23 females and 21 males; mean age: 47.7 years) with retinitis pigmentosa were included. Of these, 18 were identified as having EYS variants. CCT was significantly thinner (P < 0.001) and the posterior corneal curvature at the steepest meridian was significantly smaller (P = 0.024) in patients with EYS-related retinitis pigmentosa than in other patients with retinitis pigmentosa. The magnitudes of all corneal astigmatism measurements was higher in patients with EYS-related RP, although these differences were not statistically significant.

Conclusion: Patients with EYS-related retinitis pigmentosa had unique features in ocular biometry, such as thinner central corneal thickness and smaller posterior corneal curvature radius at the steepest meridian compared with other patients with retinitis pigmentosa. The findings suggest that patients with retinitis pigmentosa have different ocular dimension features among the different causative genes.
