Objective: To observe the effectiveness and safety of orthokeratology lens and toric design othokeratology treatment for compound myopic astigmatism. Methods: From March 2016 to March 2018, 94 teenagers(178 eyes) were selected as the subjects of study. They were divided into two groups according to the type of orthokeratology: the orthokeratology lens group (48 cases, 90 eyes) and the toric design othokeratology group(46 cases, 88 eyes). Visual acuity, corneal astigmatism, axial length, spherical lens refraction, intraocular pressure,tear film rupture time and corneal staining rate were recorded before, after 1 year and after 1 week. Results: After 1 year of wearing the lens, astigmatism, spherical lens degree, intraocular pressure and tear film rupture time were all decreased in the 2 groups compared with each other, but only astigmatism degree was statistically significant between the 2 groups compared with each other (P<0.01). After wearing the glasses for 1 year, the visual acuity of the two groups was significantly improved compared with that before wearing the glasses, and the myopia degree was increased after stopping wearing the glasses compared with that before wearing the glasses, but the difference between the two groups was not statistically significant (P>0.05). There was no statistical significance in the incidence of corneal staining between the two types of shaping lenses (P>0.05). Conclusion: Both of the two shaping lenses can reduce the degree of myopic patients with complex astigmatism and effectively improve the visual acuity of patients, but they can not completely prevent the progress of myopia. Although toroidal shaping mirror has advantages in correcting astigmatism, its overall effectiveness and safety are not.

Objective: To evaluate the effect of intraocular pressure (IOP) on corneal endothelial cells after silicone oil tamponade. Methods: Patients (n=131) received vitrectomy with silicone oil injection in Ophthalmology Center in Second People’s Hospital of Foshan City from January 1st to September 30th 2019 were divided into the high IOP group (n=80) and normal IOP group (n=51). IOP was >21 mmHg at any time in the high IOP group and was ≤21mmHg in the normal IOP group after surgery. The values of corneal endothelial cells before filling with silicone oil and before removing silicone oil were compared.Results: The average IOP was 20.79 mmHg in the high IOP group, and 14.70 mmHg in the normal IOP group (P<0.001). The number of endothelial cells (ECD) was reduced, but the average endothelial cell area was increased (P<0.05) in both groups. The coefficient of variation of endothelial cell size in high IOP group was increased (P<0.05). ECD loss rate was 6.3% in the high IOP group and 3.5% in normal IOP group. Increased IOP within 1–6 weeks after surgery (7.1%) and IOP ≥40 mmHg (7.3%) had the greatest impact on ECD. ECD loss was correlated with IOP (r=0.176, P=0.044). Conclusion: High intraocular pressure after silicone oil filling is an important risk factor for the loss of corneal endothelial cells.Keywords intraocular pressure; corneal endothelium; silicone oil; vitrect

Medulloepithelioma of the ciliary body is a kind of malignant tumor which arises from neuroepithelium. It is easily misdiagnosed or miss diagnosed due to its masquerade feature in the clinical practice. We report a boy with a tumor in his right eye at age of 3 years and 9 months presented first with lens rupture. Diagnosis of malignant medulloepithelioma of ciliary body was made pathologically by biopsy of the partial tumor.

As a new examination method, optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) has been increasingly used in ophthalmology clinical work and scientific research. In view of the unique advantages of OCTA in angiography,the clinical application and research of OCTA in the anterior segment have attracted more and more attention in recent years. Studies of OCTA in vessels of conjunctiva, sclera, cornea, iris, and related ocular surface diseases have shown great potential for its application in the anterior segment.

Glaucoma is a blinding eye disease that cannot be ignored worldwide. Its onset is insidious, visual impairment is progressing rapidly, and the late prognosis is not ideal. Long-term untreated glaucoma patients show progressive damage to the optic nerve, causing a sharp decline in vision, irreversible visual field defects, and severely reducing the quality of life of the patients. In order to adapt to the gradual deterioration of visual function, the patient’s gaze behavior changes significantly, which causes the gait behavior to change in daily activities, and accidents occur frequently. Therefore, the current research on glaucoma has attracted wide attention in the nation and abroad,and virtual reality (VR) technology has been tried in modern medicine as a new method for early diagnosis and rehabilitation of glaucoma. This article specifically elaborates the relationship between the visual impairment of glaucoma and the gaze behavior and movement behavior, and summarizes the current domestic and foreign research on the diagnosis of glaucoma and the rehabilitation of VR technology.

Objective: To understand the types and characteristics of glaucoma in pediatric inpatients to achieve early detection and treatment. Methods: A total of 834 patients aged 0–18 years who underwent anti-glaucoma surgery in Beijing Tongren Hospital from 2014 to 2019 were collected and their population characteristics and disease composition characteristics were retrospectively analyzed. Results: In all of the 834 cases, there were 397 patients (47.6%) with primary glaucoma and 429 (51.4%) with secondary glaucoma. The type of glaucoma could not be definitively diagnosed in 8 cases. Primary infant glaucoma and secondary glaucoma following cataract surgery accounted for above 50%. Conclusion: The causes of pediatric inpatients with glaucoma are various. Screening of primary infant glaucoma should be taken seriously and monitoring intraocular pressure after cataract surgery is also important. Early detection and treatment can prevent further visual loss of pediatric patients with glaucoma.

Objective: To assess the correlation between the Esterman binocular visual field (EBVF) and the visual function quality of life (VFQ) in primary chronic glaucoma patients. Methods: It is a retrospective case series study.One hundred and thirty-one patients, that is to say, two hundreds and sixty-two eyes, with primary chronic glaucoma satisfying the methodological criteria were recruited for this study, who were chosen from Beijing Tongren Hospital, Capital Medical University from March 2010 to August 2010. The Humphrey Field Analyzer Model II 750i (Humphrey Instruments, Zeiss Company) was used to perform an Esterman binocular visual field test (EBVFT) and bilateral monocular full-threshold central visual field testing using the 24-2 SITA Standard program. Visual acuities were examined by logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution (logMAR) scale. Intraocular pressure and cup-disc ratio were also recorded. The history with glaucoma and anti-glaucoma drugs, and the state of the cornea and crystalline lens were also remarked. All interviews were administered face to face by the same experienced interviewer, by using the 25-Item National Eye Institute Visual Function Questionnaire (VFQ-25). Agreement between the scores from these tests and the VFQ-25 was evaluated. Results: A total of 131 patients were recruited. In the statistics of the quality of life, seven domain scores of the VFQ-25 (self-assessment vision, color vision, near action, distant action, social function, mental health and peripheral vision) were better than the others, which meant the ability of completing the seven domain was higher. Substantial agreement was found between the composite score of the VFQ-25 and the Esterman test (r=0.24998, P=0.004<0.05), strong negative correlation was found between the composite score of the VFQ-25 and the binocular visual acuity of daily life (r=?0.37778, P<0.0001), and positive correlation was found between the composite score of the VFQ-25 and the MD of the worse eye (r=0.22917, P=0.0187<0.05).Conclusion: In this sample of clinic-based patients with primary chronic glaucoma, the efficiency score of the binocular visual field tests correlated well with the composite score of the VFQ-25. Binocular visual function can be well used in evaluating the quality of life of the glaucoma patients.

Thyroid-associated ophthalmopathy (TAO) is a common autoimmune disease, which is often characterized by exophthalmos, diplopia, eye pain and visual impairment. Traditional treatments such as hormones and some immunomodulators have some effect on active inflammation, but the effect on long-term exophthalmos and diplopia is limited. Patients often have to wait for several years, Surgery is not only complicated, but often does not fully restore vision or appearance. IGF-1 is closely related to the occurrence and development of TAO. Teprotumumab is a human monoclonal antibody against the insulin-like growth factor type I receptor (IGF-IR) , which can improve symptoms of exophthalmos and diplopia, was recently approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for use in TAO . This article reviews the pharmacological properties, efficacy, potential risks and tolerability of tetuximab in the treatment of TAO.

Objective: To investigate the association between lateral decubitus position (LDP) and asymmetric loss in normal tension glaucoma (NTG) patients. Methods: NTG patients were enrolled from Wenzhou Glaucoma Progression Study (WGPS) in Jan. 2014 to Sep. 2018. The main eye examinations included visual field test and optical coherence tomography (OCT). A questionnaire to determine the preferred sleeping position was administered to each patient in the baseline. According to the LDP, the eye parameters were divided into non-dependent eyes(higher lateral eyes) and dependent eyes (lower lateral position eyes) for discussion. According to the asymmetric damage, the ocular parameters of the patients were divided into the better eyes and the worse eyes for analysis.Asymmetric loss was defined as a difference in mean deviation (MD) between the 2 eyes of at least 6 dB or disc/cup >0.2. Results: One hundred and twenty-two patients (77.22%) had sleep preferences among the 158 NTG patients who was finally recruited and the longest follow up time was 48 months. Among the patients with sleep preference, 83 patients (68.03%) preferred the lateral decubitus position. Patients who had the lateral decubitus position mostly preferred the right lateral position [59 (71.1%) vs 24 (28.9%), P<0.001]. For patients who had the lateral decubitus position, the ocular parameters between the dependent eyes and the non-dependent eyes had no statistical difference(P>0.05); the rate of visual field progression in the dependent eyes was slower than that in non-dependent eyes, but there was no statistical difference between the two groups (0.48%±1.66%/year vs ?0.45%±3.07%/year; 0.54±0.96 dB/year vs 0.2±1.15 dB/year; P=0.086, P=0.308, respectively). For patients who had the lateral decubitus position and asymmetric damage, the ocular parameters between the dependent eyes and the non-dependent eyes had also no statistical difference (P>0.05); the number and ratio of the dependent-better eye and the dependent-worse eye were 48 and 41, respectively [23 (57.5%) vs 17 (42.5%), P=0.132]; the rate of visual field progression in the dependent eyes was also lower than that in non-dependent eyes, but there was no statistical difference between the two groups (1.19%±1.65%/year vs ?0.86%±3.65%/year; 0.71±1.13 dB/year vs 0.13 dB/year; P=0.064, P=0.419 respectively). Conclusion: About 68% of NTG patients with sleep preferences preferred the lateral decubitus position; and about 70% of patients with the lateral decubitus position preferred the right side sleeping. However, this study did not find a correlation between lateral decubitus position and asymmetric visual field loss.

A patient complaining of right eye swelling and pain with diplopia visited the ophthalmology department. Four months ago, the patient was admitted to another hospital for consideration of oculomotor nerve palsy and oculomotor neuritis in the right eye, which improved slightly after the application of hormone and mecobalamin tablets, and then aggravated again. After this visit to our hospital, the eye movement examination showed that the internal and upper rotation of the right eye were significantly restricted, while the external and lower rotation of the right eye were not. The eye MRI and orbital CT examination showed that the external and inferior rectus muscles of the right eye were thickened compared with the contralateral side. After excluding relevant diagnosis, idiopathic orbital myositis of the right eye was considered. The symptoms of the patient improved after systemic application of hormone shock, and the symptoms disappeared completely 3 months after discharge. Imaging showed that the right lateral and inferior rectus muscles were basically consistent with the contralateral side. Because of the low incidence of this disease, it is easy to be misdiagnosed and mistreated when first encountered in clinic. The diagnosis and treatment are summarized as follows.
