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

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

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

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Background:To observe changes in the epithelial and stromal thickness after small incision refractive lenticule extraction(SMILE)and investigate their relationship with the different refractive error.Methods:One hundred and eighty eyes of 90 patients with a manifest refraction spherical equivalent(MRSE)of-6.36±1.53 diopters(D)were included.The eyes were assigned to the moderate myopic group(MRSE-3.00 to-6.00 D),high myopic group(MRSE-6.00 to-8.00 D)and super-high myopic group(MRSE above-8.00 D).The spectral-domain optical coherence tomography(SD-OCT)measured corneal and epithelial thickness in 17 zones preoperatively and 1,3,and 6 months postoperatively.Stromal thickness was calculated by subtracting the epithelial thickness from the total corneal thickness.The observed changes were correlated with the degree of myopia corrected.Results:MRSE showed significant differences between 3 and 6 months in the super-high myopic group(P=0.024).At 6 months,a statistically significant epithelial thickness increase was observed in the central zone(7.18%for moderate,10.23%for high,and 13.76%for super-high myopia,P<0.05 for all groups).The peripheral thickness decreased between 3 and 6 months in the high myopia and super-high myopia groups(P<0.05,respectively).A positive correlation between MRSE corrected and the postoperative epithelial thickening was observed in the central(r2=0.551,P<0.05).Compared to 1 month values,the central stromal thickness showed a decrease(3.2±4.5μm)at 3 months and an increase(4.4±4.9μm)at 6 months.The stroma thickened in moderate and high myopic groups but the thickness reduction were in super-high myopia group at 6 months paracentrally and peripherally.Conclusions:Significant thickness changes in the epithelium and stroma were detected during the 6 months after SMILE.Preliminary results suggest that epithelial and stromal thickness profile changes after SMILE may have an impact on the refractive outcome in the long-term postoperative period,especially in super-higher degrees of myopia.
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.
