Correlation analysis of factors such as age, gender, regular wearing of contact lens(CL), diopter(spherical equivalent), corneal thickness, and corneal curvature that may affect the onset of dry eye was carried out to clarify the main influencing factors. RESULTS: There were 64 patients(45.39%) diagnosed with dry eye. The male patients(20.31%) was significantly less than that of non-dry eye subjects(41.56%;χ~2=7.260, P=0.007);the proportion of patients with dry eye wearing CL(81.25%) was significantly higher than that of non-dry eye subjects(51.95%;χ~2=13.234, P<0.001);the median diopter level of dry eye patients was-6.59(IQR:-8.87,-4.58) D, and the median diopter level of non-dry eye subjects was-5.69(IQR:-7.15,-4.03) D. The diopter level of dry eye patients was significantly higher(Z=-2.086, P=0.019). However, the age, best corrected visual acuity, and intraocular pressure of dry eye patients were not statistically different from those of non-dry eye subjects(t=-0.257,-0.383 and 0.778, P=0.798, 0.702, and 0.438);the corneal thickness and corneal curvature(K1 and K2) were also not statistically different either(Z=-1.487,-1.036 and-1.707, P=0.137, 0.300, and 0.088). The research further analyzes the three significant factors in the single factor analysis(gender, CL wear, and diopter) in a multi-factor way: CL wear and diopter were the influencing factors of dry eye disease. Among them, CL wear increased the risk of dry eye by 2.934 times compared with no CL wear;for every 1 D increase in diopter, the risk of dry eye increased by 0.761 times.CONCLUSION: Preoperative dry eye is relatively common in patients who undergo corneal refractive surgery to correct myopia, especially in patients who have a history of CL wear and a high diopter level before surgery. Therefore, it is necessary to carry out preoperative screening and timely treatment of dry eye to obtain the best treatment outcome and postoperative satisfaction.展开更多

The postoperative uncorrected visu- al was better than or equal to the preoperative spectacle corrected visual acuity in 49 of 70 eyes (70. 00 %) and achieved the best status of refraction in 64 of 70 (91.43 %). The best postoperatively corrected visual in all operated eyes were equal to their preoperative ones respectively or just lost 1 line. No severe complication occurred during and after operation. It was suggested that LASIK was a better method for treatment of undercorrection following RK and PRK.展开更多

Iris is the visible internal organ of human,so it is stable and very difficult to be altered. But if an eye surgery must be made to some individuals,it may be rejected by iris recognition system as imposters after the surgery,because the iris pattern was altered or damaged somewhat during surgery and cannot match the iris template stored before the surgery. In this paper,we originally discuss whether refractive surgery for vision correction(LASIK surgery) would influence the performance of iris recognition. And experiments are designed and tested on iris images captured especially for this research from patients before and after refractive surgery. Experiments showed that refractive surgery has little influence on iris recognition.展开更多

文摘AIM: To investigate the incidence of preoperative dry eye and related factors in patients undergoing corneal refractive surgery to correct myopia.METHODS: A total of 141 patients with myopia who underwent corneal refractive surgery were surveyed by questionnaires, tear film break-up time(BUT) test, Schimer I test(SIt), corneal fluorescein staining(FL) test and diagnosed according to the currently recognized domestic diagnostic criteria for dry eye. Correlation analysis of factors such as age, gender, regular wearing of contact lens(CL), diopter(spherical equivalent), corneal thickness, and corneal curvature that may affect the onset of dry eye was carried out to clarify the main influencing factors. RESULTS: There were 64 patients(45.39%) diagnosed with dry eye. The male patients(20.31%) was significantly less than that of non-dry eye subjects(41.56%;χ~2=7.260, P=0.007);the proportion of patients with dry eye wearing CL(81.25%) was significantly higher than that of non-dry eye subjects(51.95%;χ~2=13.234, P<0.001);the median diopter level of dry eye patients was-6.59(IQR:-8.87,-4.58) D, and the median diopter level of non-dry eye subjects was-5.69(IQR:-7.15,-4.03) D. The diopter level of dry eye patients was significantly higher(Z=-2.086, P=0.019). However, the age, best corrected visual acuity, and intraocular pressure of dry eye patients were not statistically different from those of non-dry eye subjects(t=-0.257,-0.383 and 0.778, P=0.798, 0.702, and 0.438);the corneal thickness and corneal curvature(K1 and K2) were also not statistically different either(Z=-1.487,-1.036 and-1.707, P=0.137, 0.300, and 0.088). The research further analyzes the three significant factors in the single factor analysis(gender, CL wear, and diopter) in a multi-factor way: CL wear and diopter were the influencing factors of dry eye disease. Among them, CL wear increased the risk of dry eye by 2.934 times compared with no CL wear;for every 1 D increase in diopter, the risk of dry eye increased by 0.761 times.CONCLUSION: Preoperative dry eye is relatively common in patients who undergo corneal refractive surgery to correct myopia, especially in patients who have a history of CL wear and a high diopter level before surgery. Therefore, it is necessary to carry out preoperative screening and timely treatment of dry eye to obtain the best treatment outcome and postoperative satisfaction.
文摘In order to investigate the therapeutic effects of undercorrection following radial keratoto- my (RK) and photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) for correction of high myopia by excimer laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK), LASIK was performed on 32 eyes of 16 patients undergoing RK 2 years ago and 38 eyes of 20 patients undergoing PRK 1 year ago. The postoperative uncorrected visu- al was better than or equal to the preoperative spectacle corrected visual acuity in 49 of 70 eyes (70. 00 %) and achieved the best status of refraction in 64 of 70 (91.43 %). The best postoperatively corrected visual in all operated eyes were equal to their preoperative ones respectively or just lost 1 line. No severe complication occurred during and after operation. It was suggested that LASIK was a better method for treatment of undercorrection following RK and PRK.

文摘AIM:To elucidate the safety and visual quality of implantable collamer lens with central hole(ICL V4c)implantation for correcting moderate and high myopia for at least 5y.METHODS:This retrospective study was conducted on 58 patients(114 eyes)who were followed up for at least 5y after ICL V4c implantation.The observation was done before and on 1d,1mo,1 and 5y or more after the surgical procedure.The visual acuity,subjective refraction,intraocular pressure,vault,axial length,central hole position,pupil diameter,visual quality,and adverse events were analyzed.The visual quality includes aberration,the modulation transfer function cutoff frequency(MTF cutoff),objective scattering index(OSI),Stroller's ratio(SR),and visual quality questionnaire.RESULTS:The average follow-up period was 69.25±3.80mo(range 60–82mo)and the preoperative spherical equivalent(SE)was-8.66±1.97 D.At 5y after operation,the safety index was 1.01±0.02 and the efficacy index was 0.99±0.42 and SE was-0.65±0.63 D.The 59.6%of the eyes achieved an uncorrected distance visual acuity of 20/20,76.3%of the eyes had SE within±1.0 D at the last visit.The axial length increased by 0.29±0.71 mm 5y after the surgery(t=-3.843,P<0.001).The mean vault at the last follow-up was 510.59±245.61μm.The central hole was on the temporal side in 80 eyes(84.2%).The visual quality questionnaire showed that 98.2%patients were satisfied with the surgical procedure.Adverse events occurred in 4 eyes(3.5%),including the posttraumatic toric ICL rotation(2 eyes),iris incarceration(1 eye),and posttraumatic ICL displacement(1 eye)at the last follow-up.CONCLUSION:Long-term ICL V4c implantation is safe,effective,and stable for correcting moderate and to high myopia,and the visual quality with patients is excellent and satisfactory,but the progression of axial length still needs attention after surgery.
文摘AIM:To investigate the effect of preoperative factors on visual acuity,higher-order aberrations(HOAs),and index of success for spherical change(S.IOS)after transepithelial photorefractive keratectomy(t-PRK)for treating different grades of myopia.METHODS:This was a retrospective one-armed cohort study where patients with high,moderate,or mild myopia treated with single-step t-PRK using Amaris 500 Hz excimer laser were evaluated for visual acuity,refractive status,corneal topography,HOAs,S.IOS,and mean efficiency and safety index before and 6 mo after surgery.RESULTS:A total of 154 eyes of 77 patients with mild(n=59),moderate(n=83),and high(n=12)myopia were reviewed.The efficiency and safety indices for vision recovery by single-step t-PRK were 98%and 100%,respectively.The achieved spherical equivalent(SE)was within 1 diopter(D)in 151(98%)eyes.The median of the S.IOS was 1.18[interquartile range(IQR)1.0,1.4].The change in S.IOS was significantly correlated with age(P=0.007),6.5 mm ablation zone(Mann-Whitney U test,P<0.01),and mild and moderate grade of myopia(Kruskal–Wallis test,P<0.001).Trefoil aberration,spherical aberration,and aberration coefficient types of HOA increased significantly(Wilcoxon test,P<0.001)6 mo post-surgery.There was a significant correlation between spherical aberration and aberration coefficient HOAs by myopia grades(P<0.05).CONCLUSION:Single-step t-PRK has promising short-term outcomes for refractive corrections and vision improvement to treat all three grades of myopia.

文摘AIM:To compare the subjective and objective visual quality between small incision lenticule extraction(SMILE)and transepithelial photorefractive keratectomy(t PRK)in patients with low and moderate myopia.METHODS:Patients undertaking SMILE or t PRK for the correction of low and moderate myopia were consecutively recruited in this prospective cohort study with a 3-month follow-up period.Objective evaluation[visual acuity test,manifest refraction,wavefront aberrations,the total cut-off value of the total modulation transfer function(MTFcut-off),and Strehl ratio(SR)]and subjective evaluation of visual quality(quality-of-life questionnaire)were conducted before surgery and at days 1,7,30,and 90 after surgery.RESULTS:A total of 47 patients(94 eyes)with SMILE and 22 patients(22 eyes)with t PRK were enrolled.The uncorrected visual acuity(UCVA)was better in SMILE patients on day 7 after surgery(1.13±0.13 vs 0.99±0.17,t=4.85,P<0.001)but was comparable at days 30 and 90.At day 90,the SMILE group had a lower spherical equivalent(SE)than the t PRK group(0.04±0.31 vs 0.19±0.43,t=2.08,P=0.042).Total higher order aberrations(HOAs)were induced in both surgical types,which were more evident in the t PRK group with 3-mm pupil diameter(0.16±0.07 vs0.11±0.05,t=4.27,P<0.001)and 5-mm pupil diameter(0.39±0.17 vs 0.36±0.11,t=2.33,P=0.022).The MTFcut-offand SR showed a trend of improvement in both SMILE and t PRK patients but were statistically better in the SMILE group with both pupil diameters.There was a significant improvement of contrast sensitivity(CS)over baseline levels at the spatial frequency of 18 cycles/degree(c/d)in the SMILE group(F=2.72,P=0.033)and at 3 c/d(F=3.03,P=0.031),12 c/d(F=3.72,P=0.013),and 18 c/d(F=4.62,P=0.004)in the t PRK group.The subjective quality of life questionnaire showed a steady improvement in the SMILE group(F=8.31,P<0.001)but not the t PRK group.CONCLUSION:SMILE and t PRK are both safe and effective ways to correct low and moderate myopia.A generally better and quicker recovery of visual quality favors the application of SMILE in qualified patients.
文摘AIM:To identify and characterize the 100 most influential articles in the field of myopia over the last decades.METHODS:Articles on myopia published between January 1975 and March 2020 were searched through the Web of Science Core Collection database.Two independent authors reviewed and determined the 100 most cited articles.The characteristics of each eligible article were recorded,including authors,institutions,countries,journals,publication date,total citations(TCs),annual citations(ACs),research focus and article type.RESULTS:The top 100 most influential articles were published between 1983 and 2016,with 1999 as the most prolific year.The mean number of TCs was 288(range:193-537)and the mean number of ACs was 19(range:7-109).Treatment and epidemiology of myopia were the most important research focus.These articles were published in 21 journals led by Ophthalmology(29%)followed by Investigative Ophthalmology&Visual Science(23%).The number of ACs for articles published in the last ten years was significantly higher than that for the other most-cited articles(44 vs 16,Mann-Whitney U test P<0.01).There is no difference in the number of TCs between original articles and review articles,while the number of ACs for review articles was significantly higher than that for original articles(22 vs 17,Mann-Whitney U test P<0.05).CONCLUSION:This bibliometric analysis can provide us with concise information about the development trend of research in the field of myopia in the past few decades,and provide an important reference for researchers to guide future research.
文摘BACKGROUND Pitt-Hopkins syndrome(PTHS;MIM#610954)is a rare genetic neurological disorder.Myopia and strabismus have been reported in approximately 50%of PTHS patients.No studies have reported details about the required surgery for PTHS with strabismus and early-onset myopia.Here,we retrospectively reviewed the surgical management of two patients with PTHS combined with strabismus and/or early-onset myopia.CASE SUMMARY A 5-year-old girl presented with congenital esotropia and left eye myopia,and the second girl was a 5-year-old girl who presented with intermittent exotropia.Genetic testing performed on both patients showed a mutation in transcription factor 4,which is a diagnostic marker of PTHS.The first girl underwent bilateral medial rectus recession combined with posterior scleral reinforcement(PSR)in the left eye and the second patient underwent bilateral lateral rectus recession strabismus surgery.We made key innovations in surgical timing and strategy,and the results were satisfactory.The combination of strabismus and PSR surgery is an innovative strategy for patients with both strabismus and early-onset myopia.CONCLUSION Early treatment of strabismus and myopia positively influence motor development and should be included in rehabilitation programs for patients with PTHS.

文摘Iris recognition,as a biometric method,outperforms others because of its high accuracy. Iris is the visible internal organ of human,so it is stable and very difficult to be altered. But if an eye surgery must be made to some individuals,it may be rejected by iris recognition system as imposters after the surgery,because the iris pattern was altered or damaged somewhat during surgery and cannot match the iris template stored before the surgery. In this paper,we originally discuss whether refractive surgery for vision correction(LASIK surgery) would influence the performance of iris recognition. And experiments are designed and tested on iris images captured especially for this research from patients before and after refractive surgery. Experiments showed that refractive surgery has little influence on iris recognition.
文摘Purpose: To determine the relation between patients’ age and degree of myopia on the risk of postoperative retinal detachment following cataract surgery. Setting: University-based cataract referral practice. Patients and methods: This is a retrospective study. The chart of all patients in the practice of 1 surgeon (K.M.M) who had cataract surgery by the Kelman phacoemulsification technique between 1991 and 2010, were reviewed to identify patients (those who had retinal detachment) was associated with 4-control who didn’t detach but had surgery around the same time. Result: Forty-three cases of retinal detachment were identified, the mean age at time of cataract surgery for the RD cases was 57.3 ± 14.7 years (range: 4 to 96 years) and for the control was 69.8 ± 12.9 years (range: 9 to 75 years), p Conclusion: The study shows that risk of retinal detachment and the degree of myopia is linear up to 12.00 diopters of myopia then starting to decline, and the risk of retinal detachment is the highest in age group between 50 to 59 years.
