Aims: To investigate the relative risk of pretransplant corneal vascularisation on rate of rejection and graft failure within 5 years of surgery when categorised by indication for transplantation. Methods: We analysed all adults recorded in the UK transplant registry who had a first cornea transplant for keratoconus (KC), pseudophakic bullous keratopathy (PBK) or previous infection (viral/bacterial/fungal/protozoan) between 1999 and 2017. We analysed the number of quadrants of the recipient cornea vascularised before transplant and type of vascularisation, the interval post- transplant to rejection, if any, and the outcome at 5 years post-transplant. Risk factors for rejection and transplant failure were modelled by multivariable risk-adjusted Cox regression. Results: Corneal vascularisation was recorded in 10%, 25% and 67% of patients with KC, PBK and infection, respectively. Individuals with PBK had an increased hazard of transplant rejection only when there were more than two quadrants of vascularisation (HR 1.5, p=0.004) when either superficial and/or deep vascularisation was present (HR 1.3 and 1.4, respectively, p=0.004). Individuals who had a transplant for previous infection had an increased hazard of rejection with four quadrants of vascularisation (HR 1.6, p=0.003). There was no risk-adjusted increase in transplant failure associated with vascularisation in any group. There was weak evidence of reduction in risk of rejection and/or failure associated with lamellar compared with penetrating transplantation in KC and PBK in vascularised recipient corneas. Conclusion: Vascularisation is a risk factor for corneal allograft rejection within 5 years. The indication for transplantation has a clinically significant effect on the magnitude of this risk.
Objective To understand the current situation and changing trend of low vision among school aged children aged 6-12 in Karamay, Xinjiang, from 2016 to 2021, and provide direction and reference for the prevention and control of low vision. Methods The visual acuity monitoring data of 6~12 years old school children in Karamay urban area from 2016 to 2021 were collected randomly. The detection rate of low vision in different years, genders, nationalities and age groups in Karamay was analyzed systematically, and the comparison and trend analysis were carried out. Results From 2016 to 2021, the detection rate of low vision among school-age children in Karamay City was 30%, 21.8%, 21.4%, 34.4%, 36.4% and 34.3% respectively, showing an overall upward trend. The detection rate of low vision over the years was slightly higher in girls than in boys (P>0.05), and that of Han children was higher than that of minority children. Middle age group>low age group>high age group. The detection rate of low vision among students of different gender, nationality and age groups showed an upward trend (P<0.01), and the increase rate of girls (19.9%) was higher than that of boys (9.03%), the increase rate of minority children (25.4%) was higher than that of Han children (20.5%), and the increase rate of middle age children (21.8%) was higher than that of low age children (16.4%) and high age children (4.1%). Conclusion The detection rate of low vision in school age children in Karamay City has differences between ethnic groups and age groups, and shows a trend of low age development, focusing on the visual health of children after the age of 10; The rate of poor vision is on the rise. We should continue to strengthen screening, prevention and control to improve the visual health level of school-age children.
Infrared laser induced fundus disease (laser induced fundus disease) is a fundus lesion caused by laser energy after infrared laser irradiation of the eye.With the advancement of science and technology, infrared laser is widely used in all walks of life, so the cases of infrared laser induced fundus disease are increasing year by year.Since infrared laser beams do not elicit a visual response, victims are often unaware of the exposure unless they experience eye symptoms, resulting in patients usually not seeking medical attention immediately after the injury.The current study shows that all patients with this disease have decreased visual acuity, and various manifestations such as hemorrhages in various layers of the retina, inner retinal defects, and strong reflections in the outer retina can be seen in the acute stage, and macular edema, macular precursor, and vitreous blood can be seen in the late follow-up.The article analyzes relevant studies on infrared laser-induced fundus injury at home and abroad in recent years, and gives a review of the clinical manifestations of infrared laser-induced fundus injury, the corresponding pathological changes in the fundus, and the progress of research on the treatment and prognosis of laser-induced fundus injury.
Laser induced macular disease (LIM) is a fundus lesion caused by laser energy after laser exposure to the eye.In the last decade of clinical work, there has been a dramatic increase in reported cases of laser-induced macular damage.In this article, we report a case of a 24-year-old male patient who was diagnosed with laser traumatic macular injury in the left eye after being irradiated by an 808 nm infrared laser in his left eye while performing an experiment, and he realized that he had blurred vision in his left eye within 1 week, and he was diagnosed with laser traumatic macular injury in his left eye after an ophthalmologic examination.After diagnosis, the patient was advised to take Mai Zhi Ling tablets (usage: 300mg orally twice a day), oral lutein, etc. At the follow-up examination 5 months later, the visual acuity of the left eye was 0.2, and there was no significant improvement in the visual acuity.The case was a macular injury caused by laser. When laser irradiation in the eye and transmitted to the retina through the refractive medium, it is mainly absorbed by the melanin of the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) and the outer retina, resulting in damage to the fundus of the eye, with the macula being the most susceptible to damage, and the severity of the damage depends mainly on the intensity of the laser, the irradiation time, and the frequency of irradiation.The article reviews the course of the case and summarizes the clinical features and diagnosis and treatment of other cases of laser-induced macular damage reported in the literature.It aims to provide ophthalmologists with ideas for early diagnosis and treatment of such diseases.

Objective: To optimize the follow-up approach of patients with ophthalmic genetic diseases through informational technology, reduce the loss rate of cases, and help the efficient operation of the clinical laboratory. Methods: Based on the official account of Wechat, “Pediatric Genetics of Zhongshan Ophthalmic Center ", an ophthalmic genetics case management system was established, which had the functions of collecting cases, signing informed consent online, and reporting queries. According to whether the case management system was used or whether the personnel movement was restricted, patients who came to the hospital for gene testing from July 1, 2017, to November 30, 2023, were divided into four groups: traditional group, traditional+ movement restricted group, WeChat+ movement restricted group, and WeChat group. A chi-square test evaluated the performance of the case management system. Results: A total of 10662 patients were included. After using the genetics case management system, the loss rate of cases decreased from the highest 12.2% (traditional+ movement restricted group) to the lowest 1.8% (WeChat group), and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.001). The second visit rate of patients decreased from the highest, 70% (traditional group) to the lowest, 11.7% (WeChat group), and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.001). Conclusion: The use of the genetic case management system significantly reduces the loss rate of cases and the rate of second visits in patients with ocular genetic diseases.
Objective: To investigate the application and teaching effect of clinical guidelines combined with team based learning(TBL) teaching courses in standardized training for ophthalmic residents. Methods: 15 residents who received standardized training in the ophthalmology department of the First Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou Medical University were recruited from January 2022 to June 2023. Self-study teaching and TBL teaching were successively applied to teach the clinical guidelines of ophthalmology. The subjective and objective teaching effects were evaluated by satisfaction questionnaire, passing rate of phase examination, achievement of academic proficiency test and passing rate of final examination. Results: The clinical guidelines enjoy the high opinion in the residents, and would not be strengthen their learning burden. After the residents studied clinical guidelines, their passing rate of the phase exam, academic proficiency test and final examination were all 100%. In terms of cultivating teamwork ability and study atmosphere, the satisfaction of TBL lectures was significantly higher than that of self-study lectures (P< 0.001). 93.3% (14/15) of the residents preferred TBL lectures. Conclusions: The combination of ophthalmology clinical guidelines and TBL teaching was proved to be an effective teaching model. The residents achieved excellent teaching results in the subjective satisfaction questionnaire and objective examination scores.
