作为一种新型无创且操作简单的主观检查手段，临界闪烁融合频率(critical flicker fusionfrequency,CFF)可动态反映人眼视功能变化情况。作为早期识别脱髓鞘病变和评估视功能恢复情况的敏感指标，上个世纪已被国外学者用于视网膜和视神经疾病研究中，包括氯喹中毒性视网膜病变、糖尿病视网膜病变、中心性浆液性视网膜病变、年龄相关的黄斑病变、乙胺丁醇中毒性视神经病变、视神经炎和非动脉炎性前部缺血性视神经病变。在视网膜和视神经疾病中，CFF均有不同程度下降，依据CFF改善程度以及主要损害的色光可能有助于视网膜和视神经疾病的鉴别，且CFF与其他视功能，视力、视野、视觉诱发电位的潜时具有较好的相关性。目前国内相关研究尚处于起步阶段，本文就CFF在视网膜和视神经疾病的应用情况做一总结。
As a new non-invasive and simple subjective examination method, critical flicker fusion frequency (CFF) can dynamically reflect the changes of visual function of human eyes. As a sensitive indicator for early identification of demyelinating diseases and assessment of visual function recovery, it has been used by foreign scholars in the last century in the field of retinal and optic nerve diseases, including chloroquine toxic retinopathy, diabetic retinopathy, central serous retinopathy, age-related macular degeneration, ethambutol-induced optic neuropathy, optic neuritis and non-arteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy. Though there was a different decrease of CFF in retina and optic nerve diseases, it may be helpful for the differentiation of retinal and optic nerve diseases according to the degree of CFF improvement and the main damaged color light. Moreover, CFF has a good correlation with other visual functions, visual acuity, visual field, and peak time of visual evoked potential. At present, and relevant domestic studies is still in its infancy. This article summarizes the application of CFF in retinal and optic nerve diseases.

Natural language processing techniques and the development of standardized databases are proposed to solve each of these challenges. The application prospects of AI in ophthalmology are eventually discussed.
人工智能是对人类智能的模拟和拓展。基于深度学习的人工智能可以很好地利用图像的内在特征，如轮廓、框架等，来分析图像。研究人员通常利用图像来诊断眼底病，因此将人工智能应用于眼底检查是有意义的。在眼科领域，人工智能通过分析光学相干断层扫描图像、眼底照片和超宽视野图像，已经在检测多种眼底疾病上取得了类似医生的性能。它也已经被广泛应用于疾病进展预测。然而，人工智能在眼科的应用也存在一些潜在的挑战，黑盒问题是其中之一。研究人员致力于开发更多的可解释的深度学习系统，并确认其临床可行性。人工智能在最流行的眼底病中的最新应用、可能遇到的挑战以及未来的道路将一一阐述。
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.
Schlemm管（Schlemm's canal，SC）作为房水流出的主要通道，通过调节房水外排来维持眼内压的平衡，其结构和功能的异常与高眼压及青光眼的发生发展密切相关。对SC的研究有助于阐明房水外排阻滞的发生机制、探索新的途径以增加房水排出，从而为降低眼压和青光眼治疗的新药物开发提供基础。目前，对SC发育和功能的调节机制的认识仍然有限，缺乏针对SC的特异性治疗策略。近年来，关于SC细胞命运决定及其结构发育的细胞学机制逐渐被揭示，功能调控的关键分子靶标也相继被发现，这促进了对SC结构和功能调控的深入理解。此外，作为降眼压药物靶点和针对性手术的创新应用也在不断拓展。文章系统回顾SC的结构与功能研究，总结关键的分子和细胞学调控机制，归纳SC靶向药物和手术疗法的最新进展，为青光眼的临床诊治提供了新的思路。
Schlemm's canal (SC), as the primary pathway for aqueous humor drainage, maintains intraocular pressure balance by regulating aqueous outflow. Abnormalities in its structure and function are closely associated with elevated intraocular pressure and the development of glaucoma. Research on SC aids in elucidating the mechanisms behind outflow resistance and exploring new avenues to enhance aqueous drainage, thereby providing a foundation for the development of new drugs aimed at lowering intraocular pressure and treating glaucoma. Currently, our understanding of the mechanisms regulating SC development and functionality remains limited, with a lack of specific therapeutic strategies targeting SC. In recent years, advancements in measurement and imaging technologies have revealed the molecular and cellular mechanisms underlying SC development, leading to the identification of key regulatory targets. This has enhanced our understanding of SC structural and functional regulation. Furthermore, innovative applications of SC as a target for intraocular pressure-lowering medications and surgical interventions are continually expanding. This article systematically reviews the research on the structure and function of SC, summarizes the key molecular and cellular regulatory mechanisms, and discusses the latest advancements in SC-targeted pharmacological and surgical therapies, providing new insights for the clinical diagnosis and management of glaucoma.
青光眼是世界首位不可逆性致盲性眼病，降眼压是唯一被证实有效的干预措施。手术是降低眼压的主要途径，近年来创伤更小、术后炎症反应更轻、并发症更少的微创青光眼手术逐渐在临床得到应用。超声睫状体成形术(ultrasound cycloplasty, UCP)是一种新型微创青光眼治疗技术。本文综述了国内外现有研究，表明UCP在治疗各种类型青光眼中均表现出良好的降眼压效果，但不同类型青光眼疗效存在一定差异。UCP可减少术后局部抗青光眼药物的使用数量，同时显示出较少的并发症和较轻的术后反应。与其他睫状体分泌功能减弱性手术相比，该手术在缓解难治性青光眼患者因高眼压导致的局部疼痛方面尤为有效。青光眼类型、超声探头型号匹配及治疗扇区数量是影响疗效的主要因素，其适应证的准确把握及手术参数设计的优化将进一步提高其治疗效果。本文归纳了UCP治疗青光眼的作用原理、手术操作与术后用药、适应证与禁忌证、有效性、安全性及其疗效的影响因素，以期为其临床应用和研究提供参考依据。
Glaucoma is the leading cause of irreversible blindness worldwide. Lowering intraocular pressure (IOP) is the only proven intervention to effectively prevent visual field deterioration and slow the progression of glaucoma. Surgery plays a critical role in reducing IOP, with traditional glaucoma surgeries focusing primarily on classic filtration procedures. In recent years, minimally invasive glaucoma surgeries (MIGS), characterized by less trauma, milder postoperative inflammation, and fewer complications, have been increasingly applied and continuously refined in clinical practice. Ultrasound cycloplasty (UCP) is a novel, minimally invasive technique for glaucoma treatment. This article reviews existing research both domestically and internationally, showing that UCP demonstrates good IOP-lowering effects in various types of glaucoma, though its efficacy varies across different glaucoma types. UCP reduces the need for postoperative anti-glaucoma medications, while also exhibiting fewer complications and milder postoperative reactions. Compared with other ciliary body function-reducing surgeries, UCP is particularly effective in alleviating local pain caused by elevated IOP in patients with refractory glaucoma. The type of Glaucoma, matching of the ultrasound probe model, and the number of treatment sectors are key factors influencing UCP efficacy. Accurate selection of indications and optimization of surgical parameters will further enhance its therapeutic outcomes. This article summarizes the mechanisms, surgical procedures, postoperative medication, indications and contraindications, efficacy, safety, and factors influencing UCP outcomes in glaucoma treatment, aiming to provide a reference for its clinical application and research.
光学相干断层成像(optical coherence tomography，OCT)自1991年发明以来，在生物成像尤其在眼科和心血流成像中起越来越重要的作用。OCT的发展经历了早期的时域系统及最新的频域系统。其中频域系统又分为谱域OCT(spectral domain OCT，SD-OCT)系统和扫频OCT(swept source OCT，SS-OCT)系统。随着眼科临床应用对系统速度、灵敏度及功能化要求的不断提升，眼科扫频OCT已经走向成熟并逐步商用化。本文将简介扫频OCT的原理，并归纳扫频OCT相对于时域和谱域OCT系统的优势，并展示其在眼科临床的应用。
Optical coherence tomography (OCT) has played an important role in biomedical imaging, especially in ocular and cardiovascular imaging. OCT technology has evolved to frequency domain technology from early time-domain technology due to the advantages of high sensitivity and high speed of frequency domain techniques. The swept source OCT is a type of frequency domain OCT. With the increasing requirements for system speed, sensitivity, and functionality in clinical application, swept source OCT is gradually becoming commercially available and widespread in clinical application. In this paper, the principle of swept source OCT was introduced, the advantages of swept source OCT over time domain and spectral domain OCT systems were summarized, and its clinical application in ophthalmology was demonstrated.

Objective: To investigate the effect of intraocular lens (IOL) pre-suspension in thetreatment of severe lens subluxation. Methods: Retrospective case study. From December 2018 to July 2022, 8 eyes of 8 patients with severe lens subluxation greater than 180 degrees admitted to our hospital were selected. During surgery, the IOL should avoid the subluxated lens and be pre-suspended in the vitreous cavity, and then the lens is lifted and placed above the IOL. If necessary, the iris hook can be used to stabilize the lens to ensure the safe completion of phacoemulsification. Results: There were 8 patients with severe subluxation of lens. Among them, the hardness of 3 patients' lens nucleus ranged from N1 to N3. In these 3 patients, we used the IOL pre-suspension alone to stabilize the subluxated lens, and phacoemulsification in these 3 patients was successfully completed. Three patients had N4 and 2 patients had N5, of which 4 patients underwent phacoemulsification safely with the assistance of iris hook. In another patient with N5, the lens fell into the vitreous cavity during surgery (the suspension ligament rapture greater than 270 degrees) when it was lifted and placed on the IOL which was crushed by the vitreous cavity ultrasound. After surgery, the IOL was centered in all 8 patients, visual acuity was improved to varying degrees, intraocular pressure was normal, and no serious complications were observed. Conclusions: In severe lens subluxation surgery, IOL presuspension in soft nuclei of N2 to N3 can stabilize the lens well and ensure the safety of phacoemulsification. For hard nuclei N4 to N5, IOL presuspension can be used as an auxiliary method in combination with iris hook to stabilize the lens and ensure the safety of phacoemulsification.
慢性肝病（chronic liver disease, CLD）是一种或多种损伤因素长期作用于肝脏导致的疾病总称，其影响范围广、患者人群基数大。病毒性肝炎、非酒精性脂肪性肝病和终末期肝病等慢性肝病会累及眼底，造成视网膜渗出、出血等病变；同时眼底结构改变，如脉络膜和视网膜不同层次厚度，也与慢性肝病严重程度相关。对慢性肝病患者进行眼底检查不仅用于防治相关的眼底并发症，也对肝病临床评估及监测具有潜在应用价值。文章综述不同病因、严重程度和药物治疗下的慢性肝病患者可能出现的眼底病变，以及眼底结构功能检查在慢性肝病患者中的临床应用进展，以比较不同眼底检查方法在慢性肝病患者临床实施过程中的特点及适用场景，并提示未来在慢性肝病患者中应用眼底检查的潜在新方向。
Chronic Liver Disease (CLD) is a collective term for diseases resulting from the long-term effects of one or more damaging factors on the liver. It has a broad impact and affects a large patient population. Viral hepatitis, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, and end-stage liver disease can involve the ocular fundus, leading to retinal exudates and hemorrhages. Additionally, structural changes in the fundus, such as the thickness of the choroid and different retinal layers, are associated with the severity of chronic liver disease. Through fundus examinations in patients with chronic liver disease, not only can ocular complications related to liver disease be prevented and treated, but these examinations may also offer potential value in the clinical assessment and monitoring of liver disease. This article reviews the potential ocular fundus abnormalities in patients with chronic liver disease under different etiologies, severities, and drug treatments. It discusses the progress in the clinical application of fundus structure and function examinations in patients with chronic liver disease. It compares the characteristics and appropriate clinical scenarios of various fundus examination methods in these patients and suggests potential new directions for the future use of fundus examinations in chronic liver disease management.
目的：探讨运用Barrett Universal Ⅱ公式(BUⅡ公式)计算人工晶状体(intraocular lens,IOL)屈光力时，可选参数角膜横径，又称白到白(white-to-white,W T W)与晶状体厚度(lens thickness,LT)的实际应用价值。方法：采用单中心、前瞻性临床研究，连续纳入同一术者顺利进行白内障超声乳化吸除术联合MX60(IOL植入术患眼279眼，术前使用OA-2000非接触式光学生物测量仪测量眼部数据并计算IOL植入度数，代入B UⅡ公式保留或去掉可选参数WTW、LT计算预测结果，进一步根据患者眼轴长度(axial length,AL)分亚组分析。主要结局指标：随访患者至术后1个月以上，比较使用和未使用WTW和LT两个参数、BUⅡ公式预测误差(prediction error,PE)、绝对预测误差(absolute error,AE)、AE小于0.5 D所占比例。结果：总体1上，忽略W T W + LT，PE为-0.05 D(-0.26, 0.18)(P=0.011)，其他参数组合的PE与0比较差异无统计学意义(P>0.05)。各参数组合的AE比较差异无统计学意义(0.22~0.23 D，P= 0.404)。同时忽略WTW + LT时AE出现最大值(+1.5 D)。应用WTW + LT、忽略WTW + LT、忽略WTW和忽略LT时纳入患者AE ≤ 0.50 D的比例分别为80.65%、79.57%、80.65%和81.36%。在各眼轴亚组中，忽略LT时，AE ≤ 0.50 D的百分比在短眼轴亚组(80.00% vs.66.67%~73.33%)与长眼轴亚组(77.78% vs. 73.33%~75.56%)中较高。在中等眼轴亚组中，AE ≤ 0.50 D百分比代入全部参数时略高(83.11% vs. 80.82%~82.19%)，忽略WTW + LT计算时稍低(80.82%)。结论：使用BU Ⅱ计算IOL屈光力时，可选参数WTW和LT无论是否代入公式中，皆可得到相近的平均预测水平；但是，同时忽略WTW和LT可能出现较大预测误差。对于22 mm ≤ AL<26 mm眼，推荐代入全部参数计算；当AL≤ 22 mm或AL ≥ 26 mm，仅输入WTW的计算方法累积精确度更高，可优先采用。
Objective: To investigate the practical application value of the optional parameters of corneal horizontal diameter or white to white (WTW) and lens thickness (LT) a using Barrett Universal II formula. Methods: Single-center, prospective clinical study. Eligible 279 eyes who underwent uneventful phacoemulsification and enVista MX60 implantation by the same surgeon were consecutively enrolled. OA-2000 (Tomey, Japan) non-contact optical biometry was used to measure the ocular data and calculate the IOL implantation power preoperatively. The BU II network formula was used to retain or remove optional parameters WTW and LT, and the predicted results were calculated. Further subgroup analysis was conducted based on the patient's axial length. Main outcome measures: Follow up patients for more than 1 month after surgery, compare the proportion of using and not using WTW and LT parameters, BU II formula prediction error (PE), absolute prediction error (AE), and AE less than 0.5 D. Results: Overall, ignoring WTW + LT, the median PE was -0.05 D (-0.26, 0.18) (P = 0.011) , and there is no statistically significant difference in PE compared 0 for the other parameter combinations (P > 0.05). There was no significant difference in the median AE of each parameter combination (0.22~0.23 D, P = 0.404). While ignoring both WTW and LT, the maximum AE value (+1.5 D) was found. The proportion of patients with AE ≤ 0.50 D included in the application of WTW+LT, neglect of WTW+LT, neglect of WTW, and neglect of LT were 80.65%, 79.57%, 80.65%, and 81.36%, respectively in each axial subgroup, when LT was ignored, the percentage of AE ≤ 0.50 D was higher in the short axial subgroup (80% vs. 66.67%~73.33%) and the long axial subgroup (77.78% vs. 73.33%~75.56%). In the subgroup of moderate eye axis, the percentage of AE ≤ 0.50 D was slightly higher when all parameters were substituted (83.11% vs. 80.82%~82.19%), and slightly lower when WTW+LT calculation was ignored (80.82%). Conclusions: When applying Barrett Universal II to calculate the refractive power of artificial lenses, the optional parameters WTW and LT can obtain similar average prediction levels regardless of whether they are substituted into the formula; However, ignoring both WTW and LT may result in significant prediction errors. For eyes with a diameter of 22 mm ≤ AL<26 mm, it is recommended to use all parameters for calculation; When AL ≤ 22 mm or AL ≥ 26 mm, the calculation method that only inputs WTW has higher cumulative accuracy, and it is suggested to be prioritized.

The corneal transplantation is an effective option for visually impaired patients with keratopathy to restore vision function. However, the success rate of allograft keratoplasty is still very low for those patients with end-stage ocular surface or repeated corneal graft rejection. For those patients, artificial keratoplasty might be a promising alternative option. The efficacy and advantages of artificial keratoplasty have been gradually highlighted, after consistent improvement of the product design and implantation procedure. Nowadays, the Boston type I (collar button) corneal prosthesis is the most widely used product around the world. In this review, the history, indications, postoperative complications and future prospect of Boston type I corneal prosthesis will be summarized.
