“…Küçük et al have reported that Turkish patients with RP had thinner CCT (mean: 518 mm), higher maximum keratometry values [mean: 45.85 D (equivalent to a corneal curvature radius of 7.36 mm)], and smaller anterior chamber angle on Scheimpflug imaging compared to those of healthy controls [mean CCT: 534 mm, mean maximum keratometry: 44.69 D (equivalent to a corneal curvature radius of 7.55 mm)]. They suggested that patients with RP may have different anterior segment parameters compared with healthy subjects; however, genetic information was not presented [ 3 ]. In our study, the patients with EYS -associated RP had thinner CCT and higher maximum keratometry values, as also reported by Küçük et al, than the patients with other RP.…”

“…The clinical course of RP is characterized by night blindness and progressive loss of visual field due to degeneration of photoreceptors. RP has been reported to affect not only the retina but also the ocular dimensions [ 2 , 3 ]. The alterations in ocular dimensions in patients with RP could be associated with a high prevalence of keratoconus [ 4 ], angle-closure glaucoma [ 5 ], and certain refractive errors, such as myopia and astigmatism [ 6 ].…”

Although there are a few reports that describe the alterations in the anterior segment [ 2 , 3 ], detailed ocular biometry in patients with RP is not yet fully understood.…”

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.

Retinitis pigmentosa (RP) is a set of inherited retinal degenerative diseases that affect photoreceptor and retinal pigment epithelial cells (RPEs), possibly associated with some ocular complications, including cataract. The complicated cataract formation is most likely the result of RP-related inflammation response, and the most common morphology category is posterior subcapsular cataract (PSC). Despite the absence of curative pharmacologic treatment, phacoemulsification with intraocular lens implantation to deal with opacification in the lens is preferred due to the considerable visual outcomes. However, the incidence of intraocular and postoperative complications is higher in RP patients than those without, including intraoperative phototoxic retinal damage, posterior capsular opacification (PCO), capsular contraction syndrome (CCS), pseudophakic cystoid macular edema (PCME), increased postoperative intraocular pressure (IOP), and intraocular lens (IOL) dislocation. Hence, it needs much attention to surgery progress and close follow-up. In this review, we discuss the current understanding of RP patients with complicated cataracts from morphology to potential pathogenesis to cataract surgical procedure and provide a concise description and the recommended management of related surgery complications to broaden the knowledge and lower the latent risks to yield better clinical outcomes.
