The effectiveness of the Guy's Rapid Diagnostic Clinic (RDC) in detecting cancer and serious conditions in vague symptom patients.

BACKGROUND: Rapid Diagnostic Clinics (RDC) are being expanded nationally by NHS England. Guy's RDC established a pathway for GPs and internal referrals for patients with symptoms concerning for malignancy not suitable for a site-specific 2WW referral. However, little data assessing the effectiveness of RDC models are available in an English population. METHODS: We evaluated all patients referred to Guy's RDC between December 2016 and June 2019 (n = 1341) to assess the rate of cancer diagnoses, frequency of benign conditions and effectiveness of the service. RESULTS: There were 96 new cancer diagnoses (7.2%): lung (16%), haematological (13%) and colorectal (12%)-with stage IV being most frequent (40%). Median time to definitive cancer diagnosis was 28 days (IQR 15-47) and treatment 56 days (IQR 32-84). In all, 75% were suitable for treatment: surgery (26%), systemic (24%) and radiotherapy (14%). Over 180 serious non-neoplastic conditions were diagnosed (35.8%) of patients with no significant findings in two-third of patients (57.0%). CONCLUSIONS: RDCs provide GPs with a streamlined pathway for patients with complex non-site-specific symptoms that can be challenging for primary care. The 7% rate of cancer diagnosis exceeds many 2WW pathways and a third of patients presented with significant non-cancer diagnoses, which justifies the need for rapid diagnostics. Rapid Diagnostic Centres (RDCs) are being rolled out nationally by NHS England and NHS Improvement as part of the NHS long-term plan. The aim is for a primary care referral pathway that streamlines diagnostics, patient journey, clinical outcomes and patient experience. This pilot study of 1341 patients provides an in-depth analysis of the largest single RDC in England. Cancer was diagnosed in 7% of patients and serious non-cancer conditions in 36%-justifying the RDC approach in vague symptom patients.

Functional acute acquired comitant esotropia: clinical characteristics and efficacy of single Botulinum toxin type A injection.

BACKGROUND: To examine the clinical features of acute acquired comitant esotropia (AACE) and to evaluate the clinical effectiveness of a single injection of botulinum toxin type A (BTXA) on binocular visual function (BVF). METHODS: This retrospective, observational case series study enrolled patients with AACE examined from October 2018-May 2019. BTXA was injected into the both medial rectus muscles. The refractive error, best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), stereoacuity, vergence, accommodation, the horizontal angle of deviation, and the gradient accommodative convergence/accommodation (AC/A) ratio were measured pre- and post-BTXA injection. Data pre- and postinjection were compared by the Wilcoxon signed-rank test. A Spearman correlation coefficient was calculated to explore the relationships between demographic characteristics and BVF. RESULTS: Twenty-two AACE cases were included. Compared with preinjection deviation, the postinjection deviation in the primary position was smaller for near (p < 0.001) and distance (p < 0.001) fixation at 3 months after injection (BTXA). Furthermore, convergence was better for near (p = 0.003) and distance (p < 0.001) fixation, divergence was better for near (p = 0.021) and distance (p < 0.001) fixation, accommodation was better in the right (p = 0.011) and left (p = 0.004) eyes, and the gradient AC/A ratio was better at the third month after injection (p = 0.001). Stereoacuity was improved in 11 (50%), unchanged in 5 (22.73%) and decreased in 6 (27.27%) patients. The preinjection stereoacuity (p = 0.013, r = 0.522) and preinjection deviation for near (p = 0.015 r, = - 0.512) and distance (p = 0.009, r = - 0.541) were significantly associated with patient age. CONCLUSIONS: AACE is characterized by a high AC/A ratio and low accommodation. A single injection of BTXA is effective for AACE. Deviation, stereoacuity, and the therapeutic effect of BTXA may be correlated with patient age.

Case report: Characterizing of free-floating pigmented vitreous cyst using swept-source optical coherence tomography.

Aim: A free-floating vitreous cyst is a rare eye disease. This study aimed to find diagnostic imaging methods and imaging features for vitreous cysts. Methods: This article presents a case report along with a literature review of published cases of vitreous cysts. The case report describes a highly myopic 60-year-old woman with a pigmented, free-floating vitreous cyst in her right eye. A search of the PubMed database using the keywords "vitreous cyst" was performed to identify other cases reported in the literature and to summarize the imaging methods used to diagnose and visualize vitreous cysts and the imaging features of vitreous cysts. Results: A thorough ophthalmic examination was performed in the present case, including slit-lamp photography, B-scan ultrasound, broad line fundus imaging, spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT), and ultra-wide field SS-OCT. The literature review revealed the imaging methods used in previously reported cases of vitreous cysts in which ultra-wide field SS-OCT has the advantages of wide scanning depth and high imaging clarity. Conclusion: SS-OCT has an advantage over SD-OCT in providing intuitive morphological characteristic images for the diagnosis of posterior vitreous cysts. The comprehensive assessment of multimodal imaging examinations, including SS-OCT, is of significant value for the diagnosis and differential diagnosis of vitreous cysts.

Targeted dexamethasone nano-prodrug for corneal neovascularization management.

BACKGROUND: To overcome the drawbacks of traditional therapy for corneal neovascularization (CNV), we evaluated the efficacy of polyethylene glycol (PEG)-conjugated Ala-Pro-Arg-Pro-Gly (APRPG) peptide modified dexamethasone (Dex), a novel nano-prodrug (Dex-PEG-APRPG, DPA). METHODS: Characterization of DPA nano-prodrug were measured with transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and dynamic light scattering (DLS) analyses. Cytotoxicity and effects on cell migration and tube formation of DPA were evaluated in vitro. A murine CNV model was established by cornea alkali burn. The injured corneas were given eye drops of DPA (0.2 mM), Dex solution (0.2 mM), Dexp (2 mM), or normal saline three times a day. After two weeks, eyes were obtained for the analysis of histopathology, immunostaining, and mRNA expression. RESULTS: DPA with an average diameter of 30 nm, presented little cytotoxicity and had good ocular biocompatibility. More importantly, DPA showed specific targeting to vascular endothelial cells with efficient inhibition on cell migration and tube formation. In a mouse CNV model, clinical, histological, and immunohistochemical examination results revealed DPA had a much stronger angiogenesis suppression than Dex, resembling a clinical drug with an order of magnitude higher concentration. This was ascribed to the significant downregulations in the expression of pro-angiogenic and pro-inflammatory factors in the corneas. In vivo imaging results also demonstrated that APRPG could prolong ocular retention time. CONCLUSIONS: This study suggests that DPA nano-prodrug occupies advantages of specific targeting ability and improved bioavailability over conventional therapy, and holds great potential for safe and efficient CNV therapy.

Effects of protein genetic variants on their phosphorylation levels, milk composition, milk proteome, and milk coagulation ability in Chinese Holstein bovine milk.

Milk samples were collected from 3625 Chinese Holstein cows to assess the effects of κ-casein (κ-CN) and ß-lactoglobulin (ß-LG) genetic variants on its milk coagulation properties. The results show that Chinese Holstein cows have a higher frequency of the κ-CN AA and AB variants, and ß-LG of the AB and AA variants. Of these, κ-CN B variants, the ß-LG AA and BB variants were more frequent in milk showing good coagulation. The effects of the genetic variants on milk composition, milk proteome, and protein phosphorylation sites were studied. The results showed that higher concentrations of protein and dry matter were found in κ-CN BE variant. Moreover, large variations in milk proteome among different κ-CN and ß-LG variants were observed. Highly phosphorylated for κ-CN, especially Ser97, was observed in cows with the κ-CN BE variant, but no effect of ß-LG variants on phosphorylation site was found. Of the various factors examined, variation of κ-CN phosphorylation sites Ser97 may be the most important in affecting casein structure and milk coagulation ability. Some milk protein contents were found to be negative factors for milk coagulation. In summary, this study showed that κ-CN genetic variants contained different milk compositions and phosphorylation site Ser97 influenced milk coagulation.

Role of Rapamycin and 3-MA in oxidative damage of HLECs caused by two doses of UVB radiation.

Background: This study compared the role of autophagy regulators Rapamycin and 3-MA in oxidative damage and apoptosis of human lens epithelial cells (HLECs) caused by two doses of Ultraviolet Radiation B (UVB). Methods: HLECs were irradiated with UVB, and two doses of UVB damage models were constructed. After treatment with autophagy regulators, cell damage tests such as CCK-8, LDH activity, and Ros detection were performed. Western blotting was used to detect the levels of autophagy-related proteins and apoptosis-related proteins. Quantitative real-time PCR (RT-qPCR) was used to detect the mRNA leve of secondary antioxidant enzymes.Flow cytometry was used to examine cell viability and apoptosis. Finally, the proportion of autophagy and apoptosis was observed by electron microscope. Results: Autophagy inhibitor 3-MA promoted oxidative damage and apoptosis of HLECs at low doses of UVB (5 mJ/cm2), which corresponds to 1.3 â€‹h of exposure to sunlight in human eyes. Under the high dose of UVB (50mJ/cm2), which is equivalent to 13 â€‹h of exposure to sunlight in human eyes, the autophagy inducer Rapamycin caused more extensive oxidative damage and apoptosis of HLECs. 3-MA was able to reduce this damage, indicating that moderate autophagy is necessary for HLECs to cope with mild oxidative stress. For high dose UVB-induced oxidative stress, the use of 3-MA inhibiting autophagy is more beneficial to reduce cell damage and apoptosis. The mechanisms include degradation of damaged organelles, regulation of the expression of antioxidant enzymes HO-1, NQO1, GCS and regulation of apoptosis-related proteins. Conclusions: Autophagy played different roles in HLECs oxidative stress induced by two doses of UVB. It provides new ideas for reducing oxidative damage and apoptosis of HLECs to prevent or delay the progression of age-related cataract (ARC).

Efficacy of augmented-dosed surgery versus botulinum toxin A injection for acute acquired concomitant esotropia: a 2-year follow-up.

BACKGROUND/AIMS: This study aims to evaluate the clinical efficacy of botulinum toxin type A (BTXA) injection and augmented-dosed surgery in the treatment of acute acquired concomitant esotropia (AACE), and explore potential risk factors associated with recurrence. METHODS: A total of 104 patients diagnosed with AACE between October 2020 and January 2021 were included and voluntarily chose to undergo augmented surgery or BTXA injection. The follow-up assessments ended in November 2022. Multivariable linear regression analysis was used to identify potential factors that influence the dose-response of bilateral medial rectus recession (MRrec). Kaplan-Meier survival analyses and Cox proportional hazards models were performed to evaluate rate and risk factors for AACE relapse. RESULTS: A total of 31 AACE patients chose augmented-dosed esotropia surgery, and 73 chose BTXA treatment. During the 2-year follow-up, the surgical group achieved more stable postoperative results with no recurrence of diplopia, while only 68.68% (95% CI 55.31% to 78.79%) patients achieved orthophoria in the BTXA group. For patients undergoing BTXA treatment, hours of near work per day were demonstrated to be a significant risk factor for AACE relapse (HR 1.29, 95% CI 1.00 to 1.67). The dose-response of augmented-dosed bilateral MRrec was positively correlated with preoperative deviation angle (R2=0.833; ß=0.043, 95% CI 0.031 to 0.055; p<0.001). CONCLUSION: Our findings provided quantitative evidence that augmented-dosed surgery would achieve more stable and favourable surgical outcomes for AACE patients compared with BTXA injection. However, BTXA treatment is still proposed for patients with small deviation angles due to its advantages of reduced trauma, operational simplicity, low cost and quick recovery.

Two sides of the same coin? Empirical examination of two proposed characterizations of acute suicidal crises: Suicide crisis syndrome and acute suicidal affective disturbance.

Two proposed suicide-specific diagnoses, with accumulating research support, characterize the phenomenology of acute suicidal crises: Suicide Crisis Syndrome (SCS) and Acute Suicidal Affective Disturbance (ASAD). Despite conceptual overlap and some similar criteria, the two syndromes have never been compared empirically. The present study addressed this gap by examining SCS and ASAD utilizing a network analysis approach. A sample of 1568 community-based adults (87.6% cisgender women, 90.7% White, Mage = 25.60 years, SD = 6.59) in the United States completed an online battery of self-report measures. SCS and ASAD were first examined in individual network models, followed by a combined network to determine changes in network structure, as well as identify bridge symptoms that connected SCS and ASAD. The proposed criteria of SCS and ASAD formed sparse network structures that were largely unaffected by the influence of the other syndrome in a combined network. Social disconnection/withdrawal and manifestations of overarousal-particularly agitation, insomnia, and irritability-emerged as bridge symptoms that may connect SCS and ASAD. Our findings indicate the network structures of SCS and ASAD exhibit patterns of independence, alongside interdependence between overlapping symptom domains (i.e., social withdrawal, overarousal). Future work should examine SCS and ASAD prospectively to better understand their temporal dynamics and predictive utility in relation to imminent suicide risk.

Insight into Pathogenic Mechanism Underlying the Hereditary Cataract Caused by ßB2-G149V Mutation.

Congenital cataracts account for approximately 5-20% of childhood blindness worldwide and 22-30% of childhood blindness in developing countries. Genetic disorders are the primary cause of congenital cataracts. In this work, we investigated the underlying molecular mechanism of G149V point missense mutation in ßB2-crystallin, which was first identified in a three-generation Chinese family with two affected members diagnosed with congenital cataracts. Spectroscopic experiments were performed to determine the structural differences between the wild type (WT) and the G149V mutant of ßB2-crystallin. The results showed that the G149V mutation significantly changed the secondary and tertiary structure of ßB2-crystallin. The polarity of the tryptophan microenvironment and the hydrophobicity of the mutant protein increased. The G149V mutation made the protein structure loose and the interaction between oligomers was reduced, which decreased the stability of the protein. Furthermore, we compared ßB2-crystallin WT and the G149V mutant with their biophysical properties under environmental stress. We found that the G149V mutation makes ßB2-crystallin more sensitive to environmental stresses (oxidative stress, UV irradiation, and heat shock) and more likely to aggregate and form precipitation. These features might be important to the pathogenesis of ßB2-crystallin G149V mutant related to congenital cataracts.

Circulating fatty acids and risk of primary open-angle glaucoma: A mendelian randomization study.

PURPOSE: The relationship between fatty acids (FAs) and glaucoma remains controversial despite several observational studies. We organized a mendelian randomization (MR) study to determine the genetic causal association between circulating FAs and primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG). METHODS: The two-sample MR method was used to acquire causal estimates. Fourteen distinct single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of ten FAs were chosen as instrumental variables (IVs) at a genome-wide significance level (p < 5 × 10-8). Summary statistics for POAG were available from a genome-wide association meta-analysis of 216,257 individuals of European ancestry (16,677 cases, 199,580 controls). The inverse-variance weighted (IVW) method was adopted to evaluate the causality of FAs and POAG. Multiple sensitivity analyses were applied to avoid pleiotropy. RESULTS: The IVW method suggested no evidence to support causal effects of ten FAs on POAG. The odds ratio (OR) per one SD increment of each FA was ORALA = 1.64 (95% CI, 0.441-6.098, p = 0.46), OREPA = 0.815 (95% CI, 0.604-1.101, p = 0.182), ORDPA = 0.896 (95% CI, 0.669-1.198, p = 0.458), ORDHA = 1.014 (95% CI, 0.801-1.283, p = 0.91), ORLA = 1.008 (95% CI, 0.971-1.045, p = 0.683), ORAA = 0.993 (95% CI, 0.973-1.013, p = 0.483), ORPOA = 0.731 (95% CI, 0.261-2.048, p = 0.551), OROA = 1.048 (95% CI, 0.934-1.175, p = 0.425), ORPA = 1.039 (95% CI, 0.903-1.196, p = 0.593), ORSA = 0.967 (95% CI, 0.879-1.062, p = 0.477). Moreover, Sensitivity analysis indicated no pleiotropy. CONCLUSION: This MR study does not support causal associations between ten FAs and POAG.

TP53INP2 Contributes to TGF-ß2-Induced Autophagy during the Epithelial-Mesenchymal Transition in Posterior Capsular Opacification Development.

BACKGROUND: Posterior capsule opacification (PCO) is the most common complication after cataract surgery, in which increased levels of transforming growth factor-beta 2 (TGF-ß2) accelerate PCO formation; however, the pathological mechanisms are not fully understood. This study aims to explore the regulation mechanism of TGF-ß2 in PCO formation via its autophagic functions. METHODS: The autophagic effect of TGF-ß2 was detected by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Western blotting, and immunofluorescence analysis. The association between autophagy and the epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) was evaluated by qPCR and Western blotting. The transcriptome analysis was used to uncover the molecular mechanism of TGF-ß2-induced PCO formation. RESULTS: TGF-ß2 specifically promotes autophagy flux in human lens epithelial cells. The activation of autophagy by rapamycin can promote EMT marker synthesis and improve cell migration. However, the inhibition of autophagy by 3-MA attenuates EMT. To uncover the molecular mechanisms, we performed RNA sequencing and found that TGF-ß2 elevated tumor protein p53-inducible nuclear protein2 (TP53INP2) expression, which was accompanied by a nuclear-to-cytoplasm translocation. Moreover, the knockdown of TP53INP2 blocked the TGF-ß2-induced autophagy and EMT processes, revealing that TP53INP2 plays an important role in TGF-ß2-induced autophagy during EMT. CONCLUSIONS: Taken together, the results of this study suggested that TP53INP2 was a novel regulator of PCO development by TGF-ß2, and notably, TP53INP2, may be a potential target for the pharmacological treatment of PCO.

Incidence of endophthalmitis after phacoemulsification cataract surgery: a Meta-analysis.

AIM: To evaluate the overall endophthalmitis incidence and the effectiveness of potential prophylaxis measures following phacoemulsification cataract surgery (PCS). METHODS: The PubMed and Web of Science databases were searched from inception to April 30th, 2021. We included studies that reported on the incidence of endophthalmitis following PCS. The quality of the included studies was critically evaluated with the Newcastle-Ottawa quality assessment scale. The random effect or the fixed-effects model was used to evaluated the pooled incidence based on the heterogeneity. The publication bias was assessed by Egger's linear regression and Begg's rank correlation tests. RESULTS: A total of 39 studies containing 5 878 114 eyes were included and critically appraised in the Meta-analysis. For overall incidence of endophthalmitis after PCS, the Meta-analysis yielded a pooled estimate of 0.092% (95%CI: 0.083%-0.101%). The incidence appeared to decrease with time (before 2000: 0.097%, 95%CI: 0.060%-0.135%; 2000 to 2010: 0.089%, 95%CI: 0.076%-0.101%; after 2010: 0.063%, 95%CI: 0.050%-0.077%). Compared with typical povidone-iodine solution (0.178%, 95%CI: 0.071%-0.285%) and antibiotics subconjunctival injections (0.047%, 95%CI: 0.001%-0.095%), the use of intracameral antibiotics significantly reduced the incidence of endophthalmitis after PCS (0.045%, 95%CI: 0.034%-0.055%, RR: 7.942, 95%CI: 4.510-13.985). CONCLUSION: Due to the advancement of phacoemulsification technology and the widespread use of intracameral antibiotics, the incidence of endophthalmitis following PCS shows a decreasing trend over time. The use of intracameral antibiotics administration will significantly reduce the risk of endophthalmitis.

Necroptosis contributes to airborne particulate matter-induced ocular surface injury.

In this study, we explored the role of necroptosis in the pathogenesis of ocular surface injury caused by airborne particulate matter (PM). Human corneal epithelial (HCE) cells and mouse ocular surface were treated with PM exposure and compared with non-exposed groups. The expression of necroptosis-related proteins was measured by immunoblotting in HCE cell groups. Cell damages were detected using CCK-8, flow cytometry, and immunofluorescence staining. In the mouse model, hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) staining and corneal fluorescein sodium staining were assessed. In addition, the expression of inflammatory cytokines and mucin were examined via Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), immunofluorescence staining and/or quantitative RT -PCR (qRT-PCR), both in vitro and in vivo. Our research showed that PM exposure may trigger HCE cell damage via necroptosis. Necrostatin-1(Nec-1), one of the specific inhibitors of necroptosis, can markedly reduce PM-induced HCE cell damage. HCE cell damage markers included decreased cell viability, increased intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels, and loss of mitochondrial membrane potential. At the same time, Nec-1 inhibited the increased inflammatory cytokines and the decreased mucin expression caused by PM exposure in HCE cells. Nec-1 also reduced corneal inflammation and mucin underproduction in mouse ocular surface after PM exposure. Our study demonstrated that necroptosis is involved in the pathogenesis of PM exposure-related ocular surface injury, including inflammation and insufficient mucin production in the cornea, which can be rescued by inhibitor Nec-1. This suggests Nec-1 could be a novel therapeutic target for ocular surface disorders, especially dry eye disease, which is caused by the exacerbation of airborne PM pollution.

Cataract-causing mutation R48C increases γA-crystallin susceptibility to oxidative stress and ultraviolet radiation.

Among all congenital cataracts caused by genetic mutations, approximately half are caused by a mutation in crystallin genes, and accounts the leading cause of blindness in children globally. In this study, we investigated the underlying molecular mechanism of R48C mutation (c.142C > T; p.[Arg48Cys]) of γA-crystallin in a Mexican-Mestizo descent family causing congenital cataracts. We purified γA-crystallin wild-type (WT) and R48C mutant and compared their structural characteristics and biophysical properties by Spectroscopic experiments and environmental stress (oxidative stress, ultraviolet irradiation, pH disorders, thermal shock, or chemical denaturation). The R48C mutant did not affect the secondary and tertiary structure of monomer γA-crystallin, nor did it affect its stability to heat shock and chemicals. However, the R48C mutant destroys the oxidative stability of γA-crystallin, which makes the protein more prone to aggregation and precipitation under oxidative conditions. These might be the pathogenesis of γA-crystallin R48C mutant related to congenital cataract and help to develop anti-cataract strategies from the perspective of γA-crystallin.

Integrated Transcriptomic and Proteomic Analysis Reveals Up-Regulation of Apoptosis and Small Heat Shock Proteins in Lens of Rats Under Low Temperature.

Cold cataract is the reversible opacification of the lens when the temperature decreases. However, we observed that when temperature of the rats' lens was maintained at a lower temperature for a prolonged time, the opacification of lens was only partly reversible. To review the potential molecular mechanism of the irreversible part of opacification under cold stimulation, we applied comparative transcriptomic and proteomic analysis to systematically investigate the molecular changes that occurred in the lens capsules of rats under low temperature treatments. The RNA sequencing based transcriptomic analysis showed a significant up-regulation of genes related to the lens structure and development in the Hypothermia Group. Hub genes were small heat shock proteins (sHSPs). Besides the same findings as the transcriptomic results, the liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry based proteomic analysis also revealed the up-regulation of the apoptotic process. To further analyze the regulatory mechanism in this process, we subsequently performed integrated analysis and identified the down-regulation of Notch3/Hes1 and PI3K/Akt/Xiap signaling axis. Our research revealed the activation of the apoptotic process in rats' lens under cold stimulation, and the sHSP related heat shock response as a potential protective factor through our transcriptomic and proteomic data.

Parameters of Capsulorrhexis and Intraocular Lens Decentration After Femtosecond and Manual Capsulotomies in High Myopic Patients With Cataracts.

Purpose: To compare the parameters of capsulorrhexis and intraocular lens decentration after femtosecond laser capsulotomy and manual continuous curvilinear capsulorrhexis in high myopic patients with cataracts. Methods: This is a prospective consecutive non-randomized comparative cohort study. Selected patients with axial length > 26.0 mm were divided into femtosecond laser capsulotomy (FS) group and manual continuous curvilinear capsulorrhexis (CCC) group. Five experienced phacoemulsification surgeons conducted all surgeries. Intraoperative complications and post-operative anterior segment photography were recorded. Intraocular lens decentration, area of capsulorrhexis, circularity, and capsule overlap were measured at 1 week, 1 month, and 2 years after surgery. Between group differences of parameters were determined with independent-sample t-test or the Mann-Whitney U-test, analysis of variance test, Pearson chi-square test, and Spearman rank correlation test. Results: The study included 142 eyes (108 patients), 68 eyes in the FS group, and 74 eyes in the CCC group. At 1 week, 1 month, and 2 years after surgery, the area of capsulorrhexis in the CCC group was significantly larger than in the FS group (P < 0.05), while no significant difference was noted in circularity values. The complete overlap ratio in the FS group was significantly higher than that in the CCC group (P < 0.05) at each measured timepoint. Significant correlations were noted between the anterior chamber depth and the area of capsulorrhexis in the CCC group (R = 0.25, P = 0.04), but did not correlate in the FS group (P > 0.05). In patients with an anterior chamber depth >3 mm, the capsule-intraocular lens (IOL) overlap of the CCC group was less than that of the FS group at all measured timepoints after surgery (P < 0.05). Meanwhile, the IOL decentration in the CCC group was significantly greater than that of the FS group in those patients at 2 years after surgery (P < 0.05). Conclusion: In high myopic patients with cataracts, with anterior chamber depth more than 3 mm, femtosecond laser capsulotomy can achieve better capsulorrhexis sizing and centering. Due to more precise capsulotomy and a better capsule-IOL overlap in the FS group, femtosecond laser capsulotomy resulted in better long-term centration of the IOL.
