摘要：Purpose We evaluated the usefulness of the Tomey TMS-4N™ computerized videokeratoscopy (Tomey, Nagoya, Japan) for dry eye by analyzing the correlation between the regularity indices of TMS-4N™ and conventional dry eye parameters or dry eye severity. Methods In this retrospective study, the medical records of 193 dry eye patients (386 eyes) were analyzed. The regularity indices of TMS-4N™ such as the surface asymmetry index (SAI), surface regularity index (SRI), potential visual acuity (PVA), and irregular astigmatism index (IAI) were compared with conventional dry eye parameters (corrected visual acuity [CVA], ocular surface disease index [OSDI] score, tear film break-up time [TBUT], corneal staining score [CFS], and Schirmer's I test). We also analyzed correlations between the regularity indices of TMS-4N™ and dry eye severity according to the Korean Corneal Disease Study Group. Results The regularity indices of TMS-4N™ such as SAI, SRI, PVA, and IAI increased according to the severity of dry eye. The regularity indices correlated significantly and positively with the CVA and CFS, but were significantly and negatively correlated with the TBUT. The OSDI score did not correlate with the regularity indices. Conclusions The regularity indices of TMS-4N™ provide an objective method for follow-up as well as a means to measure the severity of dry eye disease.
