客观评价眼轴长度的概念和测量方法

Definition and measurement of axial length: Clinical and research perspective

:-
 
近视防控已经上升为国家战略,眼轴长度是近视防控的重要建档参数。眼轴长度的测量有多种方法,受到年龄、性别、脉络膜厚度等因素的影响。目前,眼轴长度的定义尚未统一,建议建立标准化的定义和方法学,以指导近视防控的临床和科研工作。
The prevention and control of myopia has become a national strategy, and the axial length is an important parameter in the documentation of myopia prevention and control. This review summarized the measurement technology and factors associated with axial length. Axial length can be measured in various ways and can be influenced by age, gender, choroidal thickness, and other factors. A standardized definition of axial length is warranted to be established for clinical and scientific purposes.

非器质性视力下降误诊为儿童视神经炎一例分析

Analysis of one case of non-organic visual loss misdiagnosed as optic neuritis in children

:299-304
 
非器质性视力下降也称为心因性或功能性视力下降,除视力下降外,还可伴有视野缺损,多由于精神心理疾患导致的转换障碍引起,部分患者为诈病以获取利益。本文报道1例6岁的女性患者,主诉双眼反复视力下降1年余,早期被误诊为儿童视神经炎,给予糖皮质激素冲击治疗,治疗后稍有好转。通过本例患者误诊的教训,提醒我们在遇到儿童出现不明原因的视力下降时,在没有明确器质性疾病证据时要想到非器质性视力下降的可能,掌握识别非器质性视力下降的检查方法,不能忽略相对性传入性瞳孔障碍等基础的神经眼科检查。
Non-organic vision loss is also known as psychogenic or functional vision loss. In addition to vision loss, it can also be accompanied by visual field defect. It is mostly caused by conversion obstacles caused by mental and psychological diseases. Some patients cheat to obtain benefits. This paper reports a 6-year-old female patient who complained of repeated visual acuity decline for more than one year. She was misdiagnosed as pediatric optic neuritis in the early stage and was treated with glucocorticoid shock therapy, which her condition improved slightly after treatment. The misdiagnosis of this patient teaches us that when children have unexplained visual acuity decline, we should think of the possibility of non-organic visual acuity decline when there is no clear evidence of organic diseases, master the examination methods to identify non-organic visual acuity decline, and cannot ignore the basic neuro-ophthalmic examination such as relative afferent pupillary defect (RAPD).

目的:获取眼表图像的综合信息,建立眼表疾病综合诊断和评估。方法:将超高分辨率光学相干断层成像仪(ultra-high resolution optical coherence tomography,UHR-OCT)与基于裂隙灯生物显微镜的微血管成像系统相结合,开发了一种多模态、非接触式的眼科光学成像平台。结果:UHR-OCT模块在组织中实现轴向分辨率约为2 μm 。眼表微血管成像模块在最大放大倍率下横向分辨率约为3.5 μm。通过集成在裂隙灯显微镜成像光学路径的不同模块,多模态成像平台能够执行实时前段OCT结构成像、结膜微血管成像和传统裂隙灯成像功能。利用自主开发的软件,进一步分析结膜血管网络图像和血流图像,获取血管分形维数、血流速度、血管直径等定量形态学和血流动力学参数。结论:通过在健康受试者和角膜炎患者的在体成像测试,表明多模态眼前段成像设备可为眼科临床应用及人工智能提供结构和功能信息数据。
Objective: To obtain the comprehensive information of the anterior eye image, establish complementary information for the diagnosis and evaluation of ocular diseases. Methods: We developed a multi-modal, non-invasive optical imaging platform by combining ultra-high resolution optical coherence tomography (UHR-OCT) with a microvascular imaging system based on slit-lamp biomicroscopy. Results: The uHR-OCT module achieved an axial resolution of approximately 2 μm in tissues. The lateral resolution of the ocular surface microvascular imaging module under maximum magnification was approximately 3.5 μm. By combining the imaging optical paths of different modules, the customized multi-modal eye imaging platform was capable of performing real-time cross-sectional UHR-OCT imaging of the anterior eye, conjunctival vessel network imaging, high-resolution conjunctival blood flow videography, and traditional slit-lamp imaging on a single device. With self-developed software, a conjunctival vessel network image and blood flow videography were further analyzed to acquire quantitative morphological and hemodynamics parameters, including vessel fractal dimensions, blood flow velocity and vessel diameters. Conclusion: The ability of the multi-modal anterior eye imager to provide both structural and functional information for ophthalmic clinical applications can be demonstrated in a healthy human subject and a keratitis patient.

Results: The FFOCT system achieved a theoretical lateral imaging resolution of 1.7 μm, an imaging field of view of 1.26 mm×1.26 mm, and an imaging rate of 275 Hz/s. High-resolution FFOCT images of the main structural layers of cornea were achieved by imaging a healthy human cornea in vivo with this system in a non-contact way. Conclusion: The FFOCT human corneal imaging system combines the advantages of the non-contractness and the large imaging field of view of traditional OCT with the cellular lateral resolution of IVCM, potentially providing a new imaging system for the research and clinical diagnosis and treatment of corneal diseases.

人工晶状体悬吊术的过去现在与未来

Past, present and future of suspensory IOL implantation

:77-82
 
近年来,晶状体脱位逐渐引起眼科医生的重视,针对晶状体脱位手术的探索与改进一直在持续进行中。随着超声乳化技术的发明和眼内植入材料的改进,晶状体脱位患者人工晶状体(intraocular lens,IOL)的植入和固定成为眼科医生关注的焦点。IOL悬吊术作为治疗严重晶状体脱位以及无晶状体眼且囊袋支撑不足或无囊袋患者的IOL植入的经典术式,主要经历了传统的经巩膜后房型IOL缝线固定术、以Z字形缝合为代表的无线结后房型IOL缝线固定术和无缝线的IOL巩膜层间固定术三个阶段,理解并掌握各种IOL悬吊术的优势和局限性对提高眼科医生的诊疗水平、改善患者的预后具有重要意义。
In recent years, ectopia lentis has gradually attracted the attention of ophthalmologists, and the exploration and improvement of surgery for ectopia lentis has been in progress. With the invention of phacoemulsification technology and the improvement of intraocular implant materials, the implantation and fixation of intraocular lens (IOL) in patients with ectopia lentis has become the focus of ophthalmologists. Suspensory IOL implantation is a classic operation for IOL implantation in patients with severe lens dislocation or aphakia with insufficient capsular bag support. It has mainly gone through three stages: traditional trans-sclera suture-fixed posterior chamber IOL, kontless posterior chamber IOL fixation represented by Z suture, and sutureless intrascleral IOL fixation. Understanding and mastering the advantages and limitations of various IOL fixation methods is of great importance for improving the diagnosis and treatment level of ophthalmologists and as well as the prognosis of patients.
