ABSTRACT
@#AIM: To analyze the effectiveness of transepithelial-corneal collagen cross-linking for 1a after the treatment of progressive keratoconus and discuss its clinical significance. <p>METHODS:A total of 45 cases(48 eyes)of progressive keratoconus who underwent accelerated transepithelial-corneal collagen cross-linking in our hospital from Jan. 2017 to Dec. 2018 were collected. After 1a of postoperative follow-up, the changes of visual acuity, corneal thinnest point thickness, corneal endothelial cell count, corneal cross-linking line depth, Km of anterior corneal curvature and corneal biomechanical parameters before and after surgery were analyzed.<p>RESULTS:Compared with preoperative, the uncorrected visual acuity(UCVA)was improved obviously postoperative in this group patients(<i>P</i><0.05), but the best-corrected visual acuity(BCVA), corneal thinnest point thickness and corneal endothelial cell counts were no significant change(<i>P</i>>0.05). At 6mo and 1a postoperative, Km of anterior corneal curvature(48.54±2.57, 48.77±2.29D)are decreased significantly, the first flatten width of corneal biomechanical parameters(1.52±0.21, 1.57±0.22mm)were significantly lower(<i>P</i><0.05). The absolute value of the second flattening velocity(0.82±0.09, 0.82±0.18m/s)was significantly increased(all <i>P</i><0.05).<p>CONCLUSION:Accelerated transepithelial-corneal collagen cross-linking surgery for progressive keratoconus can significantly improve the UCVA and corneal biomechanics postoperative, but the BCVA was not significantly improved.
ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE@#To observe the effect of acupoint thread@*METHODS@#A total of 60 children with refractive amblyopia were randomized into an observation group (30 cases, 2 cases dropped off) and a control group (30 cases, 1 case dropped off). In the control group, comprehensive therapy of eye covering of intact side and family refined performance was adopted. On the basis of the treatment in the control group, acupoint thread@*RESULTS@#After treatment, the corrected vision was increased compared before treatment in the both groups (@*CONCLUSION@#Acupoint thread

?AIM:To compare the corrected vision and improvement of visual quality after wearing rigid gas permeable corneal lens ( RGPCL) or spectacles in aphakic patients.?METHODS: We selected 29 aphakic patients ( 29 eyes ) caused by different reasons wearing RGPCL and spectacle.The corrected vision, eye condition and visual quality were observed and all patients were followed up for 6mo.? RESULTS: RGPCL was better than spectacle on corrected vision (P<0.05).The patients who wore RGPCL for long had no corneal complications reported. The patients who wore RGPCL had better subjective visual quality than those wore spectacle.?CONCLUSION: RGPCL is a good choice for correcting high myopia and astigmatism for aphakic patients.The patients'compliance is good. Wearing RGPL long has high safety for patients'ocular surface.
ABSTRACT
We analyzed the topographic findings of central islands following excimer photorefractive keratectomies(VISX Twenty/Twenty, Inc, Santa Clara, CA) for myopia to evaluate whether the size of the central island was significantly different betwaen 1 week and 6months postoperatively and whether central island at postoperative 6months affected the decrease of corrected visual acuity from preoperative level. There were statistically significant differences in the indices related to the size of central island(peak, height, area) between 1 week(40 patients, 41 eyes) and 6 months(55 patients, 64 eyes) follow-up groups. In 64 eyes of 6months follow-up group, we could not find any statistically significant effect of the indices related to the size of central island on the decrease of corrected visual acuity, except SAI.

N". Except the average (Avg)-RNFLT had positive correlation with diopter in severe myopia group (r=0.372, P=0.047), no significant correlation was observed in other parameters among three groups. Conclusion RNFLT in myopia measured by OCT may have its own rule. Avg-RNFLT may have positive correlation with diopter in severe myopia group.
