Congenital ectopia lentis is a relatively rare zonular disorder of the lens, and its surgical treatment is extremely challenging. The traditional surgical procedures represented by intraocular lens suspension are prone to result in serious complications such as capsular bag rupture, vitreous hernia, intraocular lens dislocation and secondary glaucoma. In recent years, with the goal of reconstructing the capsular bag–zonules diaphragm, the application of new capsular bag-assisted devices has greatly improved the surgical success rate of congenital ectopia lentis. However, the capsular-assisted devices, such as modified capsular tension ring, are still difficult to be popularized in China and the surgical procedures are complicated. Therefore, how to maximize the use of common equipment such as normal capsular tension rings and design a safe and reliable surgical method for the treatment of congenital ectopia lentis is an urgent issue for ophthalmologists. This article aims to introduce a two-stage capsular tension ring fixation for the treatment of congenital ectopia lentis, which has many advantages such as simple and safe operation, stable postoperative effect and less requirements for special equipment, and is worth promoting in clinical practice.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is about simulating and expanding human intelligence. AI based on deep learning (DL) can analyze images well by using their inherent features, such as outlines, frames and so on. As researchers generally diagnoses ocular fundus diseases by images, it makes sense to apply AI to fundus examination. In ophthalmology, AI has achieved doctor-like performance in detecting multiple ocular fundus diseases through optical coherence tomography (OCT) images, fundus photographs, and ultra-wide-field (UWF) images. It has also been widely used in disease progression prediction. Nonetheless, there are also some potential challenges with AI application in ophthalmology, one of which is the black-box problem. Researchers are devoted to developing more interpretable deep learning systems (DLS) and confirming their clinical feasibility. This review describes a summary of the state-of-the-art AI application in the most popular ocular fundus diseases, potential challenges and the path forward.

Objective: To investigate a non-invasive,smart device capable of monitoring the quantitative visual behavior of school age children, and to analyze quantitatively the relationship between visual behavior and the occurrence of myopia. Methods: This study recruited 171 subjects aged between 7 and 11 years from the third grade of Shiwan SecondPrimary School and the fifth grade of Shicheng Middle School in Chancheng District, Foshan City. Participants werecategorized into a myopia group (108 subjects) and a non-myopia group (63 subjects) based on results from non-ciliary muscle paralysis optometry. All subjects wore "clips" to track their near-work distance, near-work duration, lighting conditions during near-work, and time spent on outdoor activities between September 21, 2020, and October 10, 2020. Differences in these habits between the myopia and non-myopia groups were compared, and logistic regression analysis was conducted to assess the impact of habitual eye use on myopia. Results: The prevalence of myopia was found to be 63.2%. Statistically significant differences (all P<0.05) were observed between the myopic and non-myopic groups regarding average daily near-work time, average single near-work session duration, average near-work distance, average daytime and nighttime near-work lighting conditions, average daily outdoor activity time, and average daily effective outdoor activity exposure. Logistic regression analysis indicated that longer average single near-work sessions and increased average daily near-work time were risk factors for myopia. Spearman correlation analysis further supported these findings, showing a positive correlation between average single near-work session duration and average daily  near-work time with the occurrence of myopia (all P<0.05). The predictive accuracy of a model combining average single near-work session duration and average daily near-work time for myopia occurrence was high, with an area under the curve of 0.939. Conclusions: The wearable device "Cloud clip" effectively monitors the visual behavior of school-age children. The occurrence of myopia in this age group may be associated with increased near-work activities. A predictive model incorporating refractive development in myopic children can assess the quantitative risk of myopia, enabling the classification and management of school-age children. Personalized interventions may serve as protective factors against myopia.

Objective: To determine self-management and its association with self-efficacy and knowledge among glaucoma patients undergoing day surgery. Methods: A total of 223 glaucoma patients were recruited from September 2021 to May 2022and they were investigated with the Glaucoma Self Management Questionnaire (GSMQ), The Self- Efficacy in Chronic Disease Scale (SECD-6), and the glaucoma knowledge questionnaire. Results: Of the 223 study participants, the study population had a total GSMQ score of 54.03±6.95 with the lowest score found in the life adjustment dimension. The total SECD-6 score was showing a significantly positive correlation with the total GSMQ score(r =0.368, P <0.001). The total score of disease knowledge was without significant correlation with the total GSMQ score (r =0.077, P =0.252). Multivariate linear regression analysis showed that self-efficacy (P <0.001) and education level was independently associated with self-management(P =0.028). Conclusions: Glaucoma patients undergoing daytime surgery demonstrated good overall self-management, yet further improvement was required in terms of life adjustment. Low self-efficacy and educational level were identified as risk factors for self-management. Therefore, self-management programs should prioritize enhancing patients' self-efficacy and delivering individualized education.

Objective: To investigate the inhibitory effects of bilberry extract on oxidative damage and angiogenesis in retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) cells. Methods:  Human RPE cells (ARPE-19) were divided into control, model and bilberry extract groups. The model group was treated with 0.5 mmol/L SIN-1 for 24 h, and the bilberry extract group was treated with 10ng/bilberry extract for 1 hour, followed by 0.5mmol/L SIN-1 for 24 h. Cell viability was measured by CCK-8. Level of reactive oxygen species (ROS) was determined using flow cytometry. Human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC) were divided into three groups, control group, model group and bilberry extract group. The model group was treated with 10ng/mL VEGF for 8 h, and the bilberry extract group was treated with 10 ng/mL bilberry extract for 12 h, followed by 10ng/mLVEGF for 8 h. Cell migration and invasion were measured by wound healing assay and Transwell assay. Cell angiogenesis was determined by tube formation assay. Results: 1. Bilberry extract had no obvious toxicity to ARPE-19 cells(≤10 ng/mL). AfterSIN-1 treatment , the the viability of ARPE-19 cells was significantly reduced, while incubation with 10 ng/ml bilberry extract could restore cell activity to the normal levels(P<0.001). This concentration was selected for subsequent experiments. Additionally, bilberry extract reduced the level of ROS in SIN-1-induced ARPE-19 cells(P<0.0001). VEGF treatment significantly enhanced the migration and invasion of HUVEC, whil epretreatment with bilberry extract attenuated these effects(P<0.0010). Meanwhile, bilberry extract could significantly inhibit VEGF-induced tube formation in HUVEC(P<0.0001). Conclusion: Bilbery extract possess strongantioxidant and anti-angiogenetic activities, suggesting its potential as treatment agent for AMD.

Objective: To analyze the relationship between corneal B/F ratio and postoperative refractive error in age-related cataract patients, and to explore the impact of B/F ratio on the accuracy of intraocular lens power calculation. Methods: A total of 197 age-related cataract patients (197 eyes) who were treated in the cataract center of our hospital from March 2019 to November 2019 and were going to undergo monocular cataract surgery were selected. The biological parameters of the anterior segment were measured by Pentacam anterior segment analyzer before surgery, and the patients were divided into three groups (25% below the B/F ratio, 25%~75%, and 25% below the B/F ratio) with the lower limit and the upper limit of 25%. Three months after surgery, the postoperative refractive state of patients was evaluated by automatic computerized refractometer, and the postoperative refractive error (PE) was calculated, and the percentage differences of mean refractive error (ME), mean absolute error (MAE), median absolute error (MedAE) and refractive error in the range of ±0.25, ±0.50, ±0.75, ±1.00 and < ±1.00D were evaluated. Results: The B/F ratio was moderately correlated with postoperative refractive error in age-related cataract patients (r= ?0.445, P < 0.001). With the increase of B/F ratio, the refractive state of patients shifted from hyperopia to myopia after surgery, and the MAE and MedAE were 0.55 D and 0.46 D respectively in 3 months after surgery. The percentages of refractive error in the range of ±0.25, ±0.50, ±0.75, ±1.00 and < ±1.00 D were 29.4%, 52.8%, 71.6%, 87.6% and 12.7%, respectively. After adjusting the corneal curvature according to the B/F ratio of the population based on our previous study, MAE and MedAE were 0.51 D and 0.43 D, respectively, which were lower than those before correction (P< 0.05). Conclusions: There is a correlation between B/F ratio and postoperative refractive error in age-related cataract patients. As the B/F ratio increased, the refractive state of the patient gradually drifted from farsightedness to myopia after cataract surgery, and the more the B/F ratio deviated from the normal average, the greater the absolute value of the patient's refractive error.

Objective: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of ultrapulse carbon dioxide (CO₂) laser in the treatment for various types of eyelid tumors. Methods: A total of 50 patients, including 12 males and 38 females,with eyelid tumors were included in the study The age range is  from 4 to 84 years, with an average age of 37.9±20.0 years. The tumors found in our study include eyelid pigmented nevus, xanthelasma, divided nevus, and molluscum. Among them, 25 cases involved the gray line of the eyelid,and 10 cases had a tumor diameter greater than 10 mm. All patients underwent ultrapulse CO₂ laser treatment and postoperative follow-up. The treatment outcomes were assessed through digital photos, and complications were recorded one month after surgery. Results: The total cure rate of the 50 cases of eyelid tumors in our study was 92%, with the effective rate reaching 100%. 4 cases of eyelid pigmented nevi recurred within one month after treatment, while all other patients were cured. Postoperative complications mainly included minor trichiasis (5 cases), partial sparse to absent eyelashes (4 cases), and hypertrophic scar with hyperpigmentation (4 cases). No other serious complications were reported in our study. Conclusions: For eyelid tumors, especially eyelid margin and larger tumors, the ultrapulse CO₂ laser is a more precise, minimally invasive, safe and effective treatment method. It can be used as a preferred treatment option for eyelid tumors, and should be promoted widely in clinical practice.

Diabetes retinopathy (DR) is the main cause of visual impairment in the working population worldwide. Patients with pre-diabetes and pre-clinic diabetic retinopathy are regarded as in high risk group of DR. The changes in morphology and function of renal neurons and retinal micro-vessels can be found in these patients at this stage. The changes of retinal nerve structure can be partly reflected by changes in the thickness of retina and nerve fiber layer. The changes in function of retinal neurons can be reflected by changes in color vision, contrast sensitivity, visual field and visual electrophysiology.With the development of optical coherence tomography angiography, changes in retinal micro-vessels can be observed prior to clinical detection of DR. In addition, many biomarker can also predict and evaluate DR. Since there is no way to prevent the occurrence and progress of DR at present, more attention should be paid in DR by observing the changes inthe retina mentioned above timely, to reduce its incidence and minimize the visual damage caused by DR.

Neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorders (NMOSD) is a central nervous system inflammatory demyelinating disease with involvement of the optic nerve and spinal cord, with poor prognosis and high recurrence rate. Timely control of acute attacks and effective prevention of recurrence are the keys to treatment. This article reviews the recent research progress in the treatment of optic neuritis associated with NMOSD , hoping to provide useful references for clinical decision-making.

Objective: To summarize and analyze the etiology and clinical features of optic neuropathy with visual field defect of central scotoma as a reference for clinical diagnosis and treatment. Methods: In the retrospective case study, the data of patients admitted in Neuro-ophthalmic Department of Zhongshan Ophthalmic Center of Sun Yat-sen University from August 2018 to March 2020, who presented with visual field defect of central scotoma and were followed up for more than 1 year, were analyzed. Both eyes of all the patients underwent best corrected visual acuity, intraocular pressure, slit lamp microscope and front mirror, spectral domain optical coherence tomography, humphry visual field tests and MRI of brain and orbit. We examined the blood routine, biochemical test, renal and liver function, infection indicators (hepatitis B, hepatitis C, syphilis, HIV and tuberculosis T-spot), mitochondrial DNA and OPA1 gene detection of Leber hereditary optic neuropathy. The follow-up time of the patients in neuro-ophthalmic department was more than 1 year. Results: A total of 20 patients were recruited. Among them, the etiological diagnosis consisted of 9 patients of Leber hereditary optic neuropathy (45%), 2 of dominant optic atrophy (10%), 6 of ethambutol-induced optic neuropathy (30%), 2 of nutritional optic neuropathy (10%) and 1 of idiopathic demyelinating optic neuropathy (5%). The patients with hereditary optic neuropathy showed a poorer visual prognosis, especially Leber hereditary optic neuropathy, with 78% of follow-up visual acuity (≥1 year) not higher than 0.1. The visual prognosis of ethambutol-induced optic neuropathy patients with mtDNA or OPA1 gene was poor. Conclusions: The optic neuropathy of visual field defects with central scotoma includes mainly hereditary, toxic and nutritional optic neuropathy. Hereditary optic neuropathy is characterized by incomplete penetrance, and genetic testing is required to exclude hereditary optic neuropathy if the visual field is the central scotoma.
