Abstract: Objective: To evaluate the impact of tear film stability on adolescent visual quality by using the Optical Quality Analysis System (OQAS-II), and to provide relevant data for clinical research. Methods: In this case series study, 32 adolescent patients with short break-up time (BUT<10 s) and thirty control subjects (BUT≥10 s) were enrolled from the outpatient clinic of Fuzhou Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine from March to October 2019. The OQAS-II system was used to detect the modulation transfer function cut off frequency (MTF cutoff), objective scattering index (OSI) and OQAS values with contrasts of 100%, 20% and 9% (OV100%, OV20% and OV9%) in the natural state. Meanwhile, the dynamic changes of OSI were detected during 20-second intervals with the eye open continuously, and the mean value and standard deviation of OSI (SD-OSI) in this dynamic process were obtained. Differences in the parameters were compared between the two groups using independent t test. Spearman rank correlation analysis was used to analyze the correlation between the data. Results: There were no statistically significant differences between the two groups in terms of age, spherical degree or astigmatic degree. BUT was 5.90±2.16 s in the study group, which was significantly less than that in the control group (11.53±2.06 s). This difference (t=-10.473, P<0.001) was statistically significant. MTF cutoff, OSI, OV100%, OV20%, OV9% were compared between the 2 groups, and the differences were not statistically significant. The mean values of OSI and SD-OSI in the study group were higher than those in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (t=2.259, P=0.028; t=0.359, P=0.036). There was no correlation between MTF cutoff, OSI, OV100%, OV20% and BUT (all P>0.05) but the value of OV9% was positively correlated with BUT (r=0.273, P=0.032). The mean value of OSI in 20-second period was negatively correlated with BUT (r=-0.276, P=0.002), while SD-OSI was not correlated with BUT. Conclusions: The instability of adolescent tear films can lead to a decline in retinal image quality, and it is related to the degree of BUT. There is a high value of OQAS-II in evaluation of adolescent tear films.
