METHODS: Patients with no eye signs or symptoms in Guangzhou Aier Eye Hospital between October 2017 and September 2018, who underwent FLACS and intraocular lens(IOL) implantation for age-related cataract were enrolled. Tear film stability assessed with OCULUS Keratograph 5 M, Schirmer’s I test(SIT), and corneal fluorescein staining(CFS) were evaluated before and after surgery at 1 d, 1 wk, 1, and 3 mo in order. Ocular Surface Disease Index scores(OSDI) and Subjective Symptom Questionnaires(SSQs) were recorded at the same time point.RESULTS: Thirty-eight eyes of 38 patients were enrolled. The noninvasive tear film break-up time(first break-up time and average break-up time) decreased in a peak at the 1 wk visit, and then increased to basic levels at 1 mo. The tear meniscus height(TMH) increased transiently at 1 d, and declined in the following 3 mo visits. The SIT had a transient increase at 1 d(P=0.357) and a decrease at 1 wk and 1 mo(both P<0.05) but returned to the preoperative levels at 3 mo after surgery(P=0.062). CFS scores were significantly improved compared with those before surgery, and had a statistical difference(P<0.05). OSDI scores and SSQs after surgery were obviously higher, and had a statistical difference(P<0.001) but didn’t return to the basic level by 3 mo. CONCLUSION: Dry eye signs and symptoms can occur immediately following FLACS and have a peak severity on day 7 postoperatively. Most signs of dry eye can return to preoperative basic levels within 3 mo postoperatively. However, all cases can not recover from CFS and dry eye symptoms at 3 mo postoperatively.展开更多

Patients in the control group received conventional nursing and their counterparts in the observation group were treated with individualized psychological interventions including psychological support, relaxation training, and humanistic care based on conventional nursing care..Self-rating anxiety scale(SAS), self-rating depression scale(SDS), and fear visual analog scale(FVAS) scores were statistically compared between the two groups.Results:.The scores of SAS, SDS, and FAVS were significantly lower in the experimental group than in the control group(all P<0.001).Conclusion:.Comprehensive psychological intervention effectively eliminates negative emotions in patients undergoing emergent ocular trauma surgery and accelerates their physical and mental recovery.展开更多

Ocular and orbital cysticercosis has varied presentations depending upon the site of involvement, number of lesion and the host immune response. In this article we present a review of the various clinical manifestations, diagnosis and management protocol for orbital and ocular cysticercosis. Owing to its varied presentation, cysticercosis may pose a diagnostic challenge to the health professionals. Early diagnosis and management can prevent the vision loss and optimize visual outcomes.展开更多

The collected variables consisted of age, date, gender, time of injury, time until repair, mechanism of injury, zone of injury, injury associated vitreous hemorrhage, trauma associated RD, post traumatic RD, aphakia at injury, periocular trauma and OTS in cases of OGI. RESULTS: Totally 102 patients with traumatic OGI with a minimum of 12 mo follow-up and a median age at of 48.6 y(range: 3-104 y) were identified. Final best corrected visual acuity(BCVA) was independent from the time of repair, yet a statistically significant difference was present between the final BCVA and the zone of injury. Severe trauma presenting with an OTS score Ⅰ(P<0.0001) or Ⅱ(P<0.0001) revealed a significantly worse BCVA at last follow up when compared to the cohort with an OTS score >Ⅲ. OGI associated RD was observed in 36/102 patients(35.3%), whereas post traumatic RD(defined as RD following 14 d after OGI) occurred in 37 patients(36.3%). OGI associated RD did not correlate with the OTS and the zone of injury(P=0.193), yet post traumatic RD correlated significantly with zone Ⅲ injuries(P=0.013). CONCLUSION: The study shows a significant association between lower OTS score and zone Ⅲ injury with lower final BCVA and a higher number of surgeries, but only zone Ⅲ could be significantly associated with a higher rate of RD.展开更多

This concept does, however, not respect ocular surface topography. The micro-anatomy of the corneal changes may lead to enhanced demands on the tear film and lead to significant complaints. However, they often remain undetected and hence untreated. It is suggested that the pathophysiology for an entire subgroup of dry eye disease patients is primarily of surface morphological nature. Methods: The tear film break up was observed and used to identify anatomical alterations in eyes of patients with dry eye complaints. The localization and pattern of TFBUT using fluorescein was compared between eye with normal surfaces and surface alterations. Results: Premature tear film rupture was localized at constantly same areas and did match changes on the ocular epitheliopathy in patients with diseases such as microcystic epithliopathy, MFD, and after excimer laser treatment. Disusssion: Whereas in normal surfaces TFBUT does occur within the floating tear film, the anatomical dry eye identifies itself with constant location of tear film break up and a constant spreading pattern. In contrast to the classic, tear film caused dry eye, the anatomical dry eye is accessible to treatment. This should catch our attention and intent to identify it. It is the ease of possible treatment that should make these ocular surface alterations prime target of dry eye disease diagnostic. It is hence suggested to introduce the anatomical dry eye as a subgroup in the large group of dry eye and ocular surface disease.展开更多

文摘Cysticercosis is a preventable and eradicable cause of blindness endemic in the Indian subcontinent, South- East Asia and other developing countries. Ocular and orbital cysticercosis has varied presentations depending upon the site of involvement, number of lesion and the host immune response. In this article we present a review of the various clinical manifestations, diagnosis and management protocol for orbital and ocular cysticercosis. Owing to its varied presentation, cysticercosis may pose a diagnostic challenge to the health professionals. Early diagnosis and management can prevent the vision loss and optimize visual outcomes.
