Background: Patients with dacryocystitis should be treated for their infection by endoscopic dacryocystorhinostomy (EN-DCR) before any intraocular surgery. However, there is no unified standard for the specific time interval between the two surgeries. This study aimed to determine the appropriate interval for intraocular surgery in patients with previous EN-DCR for chronic dacryocystitis.

Methods: The medical files of all patients who underwent intraocular surgery after EN-DCR surgery in our hospital from 2016 to 2019 were reviewed. The EN-DCR data of patients undergoing intraocular surgery at different time intervals and the incidence of endophthalmitis after intraocular surgery were compared.

Results: A total of 116 patients (92 females and 24 males, mean age 64.06±7.78 years) underwent EN-DCR and intraocular surgery met the inclusion criteria. The interval between EN-DCR and intraocular surgery varied from 5–475 days. The number of patients undergoing cataract surgery after EN-DCR is the largest (75, 64.7%). All patients (100%) who had previously undergone EN-DCR did not develop endophthalmitis infection after intraocular surgery at a follow-up of 12 months.

Conclusions: For patients with dacryocystitis who have undergone EN-DCR surgery, there is no time limit when choosing the timing of intraocular surgery. For patients requiring intraocular surgery, operation can be arranged as soon as possible to solve their problems as long as the patients had patency on lacrimal passage irrigation and no secretions.

Retrobulbar block refers to the injection of local anesthetics into the muscle cone behind the eyeball, blocking the ciliary, oculomotor, and ciliary ganglion nerves, to provide pain relief, restrict eye movement, and reduce intraocular pressure. Modern retrobulbar block is the "gold standard" for eyeball immobilization and anesthesia in intraocular surgeries, and it is the one of the most commonly used methods for ocular regional block. Although the complications related to this method are rare, the complications will threaten the vision and even life. Th is expert consensus introduces the application scope of retrobulbar block, and systematically describes functional neuroanatomy of eye sensation and movements, safety and procedures of retrobulbar block, local anesthetics, contraindications and complications of the block, which can provide the reference for clinical application of this method.

Background: The “flipped classroom” is a learner-centered approach that centers on delivering videos,podcasts or slide-based material to learners prior to a lecture or class session. The class session is then dedicated to discussion, analysis, and problem-solving activities. The aim of this study was to investigate whether the flipped classroom could be adapted to medical (ophthalmology) students learning about ocular trauma and to assess the impact of the flipped classroom on those students’ performance and attitudes.
Methods: Questionnaires (using a 4-point scale) were distributed to 93 fifth-year medical students at Sun Yat-sen University, and the data showed that the majority of students preferred the flipped classroom approach to the traditional lecture method.
Results: The results of pre- and post-test scores were 14.35±3.404 and 20.37±4.356, which showed a significant improvement in students’ performance after the flipped classroom was introduced (P<0.05).
Conclusions: Student response to the flipped classroom strategy was largely positive, indicating that the strategy received a high level of approval in an ophthalmology clerkship course taken by medical students in China.

Backgrounds: To assess changes in anterior segment biometry during accommodation using a swept source anterior segment optical coherence tomography (SS-OCT).

Methods: One hundred-forty participants were consecutively recruited in the current study. Each participant underwent SS-OCT scanning at 0 and -3 diopter (D) accommodative stress after refractive compensation, and ocular parameters including anterior chamber depth (ACD), anterior and posterior lens curvature, lens thickness (LT) and lens diameter were recorded. Anterior segment length (ASL) was defined as ACD plus LT. Lens central point (LCP) was defined as ACD plus half of the LT. The accommodative response was calculated as changes in total optical power during accommodation.

Results: Compared to non-accommodative status, ACD (2.952±0.402 vs. 2.904±0.382 mm, P<0.001), anterior (10.771±1.801 vs. 10.086±1.571 mm, P<0.001) and posterior lens curvature (5.894±0.435 vs. 5.767±0.420 mm, P<0.001), lens diameter (9.829±0.338 vs. 9.695±0.358 mm, P<0.001) and LCP (4.925±0.274 vs. 4.900±0.259 mm, P=0.010) tended to decreased and LT thickened (9.829±0.338 vs. 9.695±0.358 mm, P<0.001), while ASL (6.903±0.279 vs. 6.898±0.268 mm, P=0.568) did not change significantly during accommodation. Younger age (β=0.029, 95% CI: 0.020 to 0.038, P<0.001) and larger anterior lens curvature (β= -0.071, 95% CI: -0.138 to -0.003, P=0.040) were associated with accommodation induced greater steeping amplitude of anterior lens curvature. The optical eye power at 0 and -3 D accommodative stress was 62.486±2.284 and 63.274±2.290 D, respectively (P<0.001). Age was an independent factor of accommodative response (β= -0.027, 95% CI: -0.038 to -0.016, P<0.001).

Conclusions: During -3 D accommodative stress, the anterior and posterior lens curvature steepened, followed by thickened LT, fronted LCP and shallowed ACD. The accommodative response of -3 D stimulus is age-dependent.

Background: Surgically induced astigmatism (SIA) and corneal high-order aberrations (HOAs) are the two main causes of poor visual quality after cataract surgery. Changes in the parameters of corneal HOAs after cataract surgery and their effects on and relationships with changes in corneal curvature have not yet been reported. This study aimed to explore changes in anterior, posterior and total corneal curvature, astigmatism and HOAs after microincision cataract surgery.

Methods: Sixty-one age-related cataract patients (61 eyes) were included in this prospective study. The total, anterior and posterior corneal astigmatism and corneal HOAs were analyzed by anterior segment optical coherence tomography (AS-OCT) and iTrace before, one day, one week and three months after 2.2 mm temporal microincision coaxial phacoemulsification to evaluate the changes in anterior, posterior and total corneal curvature, astigmatism and corneal HOAs.

Results: The mean J0 and J45 values of anterior, posterior and total corneal curvature obtained by AS-OCT showed no statistically significant difference between preoperatively and any postoperative follow-up. SIA occurred on the anterior, posterior and total corneal surfaces and showed no statistically significant difference at any postoperative follow-up. No significant changes in 3rd-order oblique trefoil, vertical coma or 4th-order spherical aberrations were observed after surgery except for a significant increase in horizontal coma at postoperative day 1 (POD1).

Conclusions: There were no significant changes in corneal curvature after 2.2 mm temporal microincision coaxial phacoemulsification, and the corneal HOAs were not changed significantly except for the increase in horizontal coma at POD1, which may be one of the main reasons of poor visual quality at POD1 in some cataract patients who have good uncorrected or corrected distance vision.

眼黄斑囊样水肿(cystoid macular edema,CME)是白蛋白结合型紫杉醇的罕见并发症。该文报告了一例60岁女性患者，在右侧乳腺癌根治术后进行为期7周的白蛋白结合型紫杉醇化学治疗，治疗过程中出现双眼视力下降，经眼科检查诊断为由白蛋白结合型紫杉醇引起的双眼CME。确诊后即刻停用白蛋白结合型紫杉醇，并采用口服乙酰唑胺治疗。经随访，患者停药20个月时双眼CME基本消失，同时双眼矫正视力恢复至1.0。该病例为化学治疗药物引起的CME，机制可能与紫杉烷类药物对Müller细胞和视网膜色素上皮层产生毒性作用有关。值得注意的是，其典型的特征表现为荧光素眼底血管造影未见明显的荧光渗漏。文章回顾了该病例的病程发展，并对其他文献中报道的白蛋白结合型紫杉醇诱导的CME病例的临床特点及诊疗进行了总结。同时，对白蛋白结合型紫杉醇诱导CME的潜在发病机制进行了讨论，旨在为眼科医生提供早期诊断和治疗此类疾病的思路。

Cystoid macular edema (CME) is a rare complication of nab-paclitaxel.. In our article, it is reported a case of a 60-year old woman who had undergone nab-paclitaxel chemotherapy for 7 weeks after a radical surgery for breast cancer.During the treatment, she reported vision declined, and was diagnosed as CME caused by nab-paclitaxel through ophthalmic examinations. The nab-paclitaxel was immediately discontinued after the diagnosis, and the patient was treated with oral acetazolamide instead. In the follow up visit, after stopping nab-paclitaxel for 20 months, CME was found to disappear basically, and the corrected visual acuity was restored to 1.0 in patient's both eyes. his case is CME caused by chemotherapy drugs. Its mechanism may be related to toxic effects of paclitaxel to Müller cells and the retinal pigment epithelial layer. Notably, its typical feature is that there is no obvious fluorescence leakage could be observed on fundus fluorescein angiography. In the article, the course and development of this case is reviewed, and the clinical characteristics and diagnosis and treatment of nab-paclitaxel induced CME cases reported in other literature are also summarized. At the same time, the potential the potential pathogenesis of nab-paclitaxel-induced CME is discussed, to provide reference to ophthalmologists for early diagnosis and treatment for this disease.

Intraocular lens opacity is a relatively rare complication after cataract surgery. Many patients seek medical service serveral months or years after surgery, due to unexplained visual impairment or blurred vision. A case is reported in this article that a 73-year-old female patient who was implanted the same type of hydrophilic acrylate intraocular lens in both eyes during the same period. After 6 years of surgery, the right intraocular lens was completely cloudy, while the left intraocular lens remained completely transparent. Significant differences were found in two eyes clinical symptoms,optical coherence tomography (OCT), and ultrasound biomicroscopy (UBM) examination results. After surgical treatment, the vision of eye with intraocular lens opacity has recovered satisfactorily. In the article, the detailed record of  the patient's preoperative relevant information, surgical treatment, and examination results of removing the intraocular lens were stated. The analysis and discussion results were also indicated to provide reference on the diagnosis and treatment of this type of patient for experts and colleagues.

Terson综合征又称蛛网膜下腔出血合并玻璃体积血综合征，是一种较为罕见的眼科疾病。患者多因颅内出血而存在意识障碍，沟通困难，极易漏诊，错过最佳治疗时机。该文报道了一例30岁男性患者，因弥漫蛛网膜下腔出血，突发昏迷，于发病1个月后出现双眼视物模糊，最终确诊为双眼Terson综合征，并行双眼玻璃体切割术及右眼视网膜前膜剥膜术治疗。术后54 d，患者左眼视力由指数/5 cm恢复至矫正视力0.3。术后19 d，患者右眼视力由手动/20 cm恢复至矫正视力0.12。

Terson syndrome, which is also defned as subarachnoid hemorrhage combined with vitreous hemorrhage syndrome, is a relatively rareeye disease. Due to intracranial hemorrhage, patients with this disease usually experience consciousness disorders and communication difculties, so that it is easy to to miss the diagnosis and the optimal time for treatment. This article reports a case of a 30-year-old male patient with sudden coma due to diffuse subarachnoid hemorrhage. He felt blurred in both eyes 1 month afer the onset, and was diagnosed as binocular terson syndrome ultimately. He underwent bilateral vitrectomy and anterior retinal membrane detachment surgery in the right eye. Te patient visual acuity was restored from fnger count/5cm to 0.3 corrected visual acuity in the lef eye when 54 days afer surgery, and his visual acuity was from manual/20 cm to 0.12 corrected visual acuity in the right eye when 19 days afer surgery.

Background: To compare two swept-source optical coherence tomography (SS-OCT) biometers,IOLMaster 700 and ANTERION.

Methods: This is a retrospective study. Biometric measurements of cataract patients performed between March and July 2021 in the Department of Ophthalmology, United Christian Hospital, Hong Kong, were reviewed. Patients scheduled for cataract surgery were measured with both SS-OCT devices on the same day.The following biometry parameters were compared: keratometry (K), total keratometry (TK), axial length (AL), central corneal thickness (CCT), anterior chamber depth (ACD), lens thickness (LT), white-to-white (WTW) and the predicted intraocular lens (IOL) power to achieve emmetropia. To assess the agreement between the devices, Bland-Altman analysis with 95% limits of agreement (LoA) were used.

Results: In total, 92 eyes of 47 subjects were measured with both devices. There were statistically significant differences between the two biometers for most measurements (P<0.05) except for flat K, AL and IOL power when using the right eyes for analysis. For the left eyes, there were statistically significant differences in the measurements from the two biometers in all parameters except for flat and steep K. The ANTERION did not obtain ACD, AL and LT in 2 (2.17%), 1 (1.09%) and 5 cases (5.43%) respectively.

Conclusions: The two biometers showed a clinically acceptable agreement in most parameters. Comparisons showed significant differences in most parameters but not clinically relevant except for the TK and WTW, and these two parameters should not be used interchangeably between the devices.
