Prevalence of intermittent exotropia among primary and secondary school students in Shantou, China

:7-12
 
Background: Few prevalence studies on intermittent exotropia (IXT) based on Chinese populations. Furthermore, longitudinal change in this pattern within a local setting has not been reported in the past. This study aims to determine the pro?le of children with IXT in China.
Methods: A total of 7,537 subjects from nine multi-layer primary and secondary schools participated in this investigation. The position of eyes was examined by using Hirschberg test and alternate cover test. The obtained results were classi?ed according to respective features and analyzed statistically.
Results: The prevalence of IXT among the participants was 7.98%, accounting for 73.04% of all types of strabismus. Junior high school students had a lower prevalence of IXT than elementary and senior high school counterparts. Logistic regression analysis showed that IXT was mainly found in male pupils at high grades in rural areas and in male secondary students at high grade in urban regions.
Conclusions: IXT was shown to be more prevalent than other types of strabismus in Chinese children. Furthermore, the distribution and characteristics of IXT greatly varied among participants.

Long term changes of posterior corneal elevation after myopic laser in situ keratomileusis

Long term changes of posterior corneal elevation after myopic laser in situ keratomileusis

:13-19
 
Background: Corneal ectasia is a serious complication after laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK). Ideally, patients at risk of ectasia should be identified prior to laser as unsuitable for LASIK, however, at present, there is no absolute test, system, or marker that can unequivocally identify patients at risk of developing ectasia. It has been suggested that changes in the forward protrusion of the posterior cornea or posterior corneal elevation (PCE) may be a key to the early detection of ectasia after LASIK. The purpose of this study was to examine the long term changes of the PCE after myopic LASIK using the ORBSCAN® IIz (Bausch & Lomb, Rochester, USA) and to evaluate the contributory preoperative factors to PCE changes.
Methods: This was a retrospective longitudinal case series. Forty-two eyes of 23 consecutive myopic patients who underwent uneventful LASIK surgery 6 years ago were recalled for a postoperative follow-up examination using the ORBSCAN® IIz to determine the elevation changes to the posterior corneal surface from the preoperative measurements. A forward shift of the posterior surface was given a negative value. Correlation analyses and forward stepwise regression analyses were performed to evaluate the effect of each of the preoperative parameters on the changes in PCE. Statistical and graphical analyses were performed.
Results: There was no statistical difference between the mean best-fit sphere (BFS) pre-LASIK and 6 years postop (P=0.25). Forty-two post-LASIK eyes had a mean posterior displacement of -9.38±9.84 μm (range, 12 to -31 μm) 6 years after LASIK. Forward stepwise multiple linear regression analysis indicated that the ablation spherical equivalent (ASE) was the only indicator of the forward shift of the posterior cornea after LASIK.
Conclusions: The present study identified a significant forward shift of the posterior cornea 6 years after LASIK. The ASE was the most significant prognostic determinant for forward protrusion of the posterior cornea after LASIK.

翼状胬肉不同术式后巩膜溶解的观察分析

Observation and analysis of posterior scleral dissolution in different operation of pterygium

:20-22
 
目的:比较翼状胬肉两种不同手术方式后巩膜溶解的发生概率,探讨产生巩膜溶解的原因,选择合理手术方式。方法:对本院两年来263例翼状胬肉采用两种不同的手术方式,观察术后发生巩膜溶解的情况,并通过局部药物进行治疗。结果:263例翼状胬肉患者,130例采用胬肉切除+结膜瓣转位术,裸露角膜缘3 mm巩膜,术后局部滴0.02%丝裂霉素C(mitomycin C, MMC),胬肉复发26 例,发生巩膜溶解6例;133例采用胬肉切除+角膜缘干细胞移植术,术后滴0.02% MMC,胬肉复发5例,无1例发生巩膜溶解。结论:翼状胬肉术后发生巩膜溶解,是一种严重的手术并发症,可能与术中过度烧灼巩膜面,巩膜板层暴露于MMC有关。采用胬肉切除+角膜缘干细胞移植术,植片覆盖裸露巩膜,促进巩膜表层愈合,术后避免MMC直接浸润巩膜板层故未见此并发症发生。与传统手术方式相比,复发率低,并发症少,是一种安全、有效的翼状胬肉手术方式。
Objective: To compare the occurrence probability of posterior scleral dissolution in two different surgical methods, and to explore the reasons for the dissolution of the scleral. Methods: Using two different surgical methods on 263 cases of pterygium submitted in our hospital in 2 years, observed the occurrence of scleral at postoperative, and treated with topical drugs. Results: Two hundred and sixty three cases of patients with pterygium, 130 cases of pterygium resection and conjunctival flap transposition, bare 3 mm limbus sclera, postoperative topical mitomycin C (MMC). The recurrence of pterygium in 26 cases, scleral melting in 6 cases; 133 cases of pterygium excision and limbal stem cell transplantation, MMC (0.02% MMC drip after operation, 5 cases of recurrent pterygium, no scleral melting occurred in 1 case. Conclusion: The scleral dissolution occurred after pterygium surgery is a serious complication, which may be related to the excessive burning of the scleral surface, and the lamellar exposure to MMC. Excision of pterygium and corneal limbal stem cell transplantation  were used to cover the exposed scleral, promote the surface healing of the wound, and avoid the MMC direct infiltration of the lamina. Compared with the traditional operation mode, the recurrence rate is low, and the complication is little. It is a safe and effective surgical method.

      青光眼(glaucoma)是一组具有特征性视神经损害和视野缺损的眼病,在临床上常常表现为视力减退、眼部胀痛伴头痛等症状,是一种致盲率居第二位的不可逆性眼病。青光眼视神经损伤有一定 的遗传倾向,造成视神经凹陷性萎缩及视野不同程度缺损这两种结局的危险因素有多种,其中致盲的主要原因包括进行性视神经节损害、病理性眼压升高等。所以在青光眼的治疗中一方面要考虑降低眼压,另一方面还要保护好视神经。本文将从视神经损害的机制、影响因素、分级方法、视神经相关检测指标及其在临床上相关仪器应用、治疗等方面进行综述。
Glaucoma is an irreversible eye disease with the characteristic of optic nerve damage and visual ?eld defect, the clinical manifestation is behaved for vision loss, eye pain with symptoms such as headache, which rate of blindness ranks second place. The optic nerve injury of glaucoma has a certain genetic predisposition. There are many risk factors result in optic nerve atrophy and visual ?eld defect, one of the major causes of blindness including optic ganglion damage, pathological elevation of intraocular pressure. So on the one hand in the treatment of glaucoma should be considered to reduce intraocular pressure, on the other hand, to protect the optic nerve. This article will reviews the mechanism, influencing factors, classification methods, optic nerve related detection indexes and clinical application and treatment of optic nerve injury.

目的:研究玻璃体腔注射曲安奈德(triamcinolone acetonide,TA)和雷珠单抗(Lucentis)治疗视网 膜中央静脉阻塞(central retinal vein occlusion,CRVO)的黄斑水肿的疗效。方法:配对病例对照研究。将2013年1月至2015年6月,在我院因CRVO并发黄斑水肿而接受玻璃体腔注射TA或Lucentis 的患者,根据患者基线水平的最佳矫正视力(best-corrected visual acuity,BCVA)(logMAR视力)和黄斑中心厚度(central macular thickness,CMT)将两组患者进行配对,选出12对患者,主要的观察 指标为随访1年时两组患者的BCVA和CMT。结果:TA组患者的BCVA由基线时的0.78±0.12提高到 0.55±0.24(P=0.005),CMT由基线时的(598.92±192.67) μm减少到(258.28±75.38) μm (P=0.002)。Lucentis组患者的BCVA由基线时的0.78±0.11提高到0.48±0.21(P=0.002), CMT由基线时的 (591.75±181.68) μm减少到(281.17±63.08) μm (P=0.002)。TA组和Lucentis组患者基线及最终的 BCVA和CMT直接均无显著差异。TA组的平均注药次数为(2.4±0.9)次,Lucentis组为(4.0±1.6)次, 两组有统计学差异(P=0.012)。结论:玻璃体腔注射TA或Lucentis均能减轻CRVO所致的黄斑水肿并提高视力,两者的疗效并无显著差异。TA的平均注射次数比Lucentis组少,但是TA更容易引起眼压升高。应该根据患者的综合情况制定个性化的治疗方案。
Objective: To compare the efficacy of intravitreal injections of triamcinolone acetonide (TA) and that of ranibizumab for macular edema secondary to central retinal vein occlusion (CRVO). Methods: In a retrospective assessment 12 TA-treated patients and 12 ranibizumab-treated ones with macular edema after CRVO were pairmatched according to initial best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) and central macular thickness (CMT). BCVA and CMT were the main endpoints. Results: The initial BCVA of 0.78±0.12 increased significantly to 0.55±0.24 in the TA-treated patients (P=0.005). And the initial CMT of (598.92±192.67) μm decreased significantly to (258.28±75.38) μm (P=0.002). In the ranibizumab-treated patients, the initial BCVA of 0.78±0.11 increased significantly to 0.48±0.21 (P=0.002) and the initial CMT of (591.75±181.68) μm decreased significantly to (281.17±63.08) μm (P=0.002). There was no significance between the initial and final BCVA and CMT of TAtreated patients and ranibizumab-treated patients. Conclusion: Both treatments decreased the CMT and induced an improvement in BCVA from baseline.

Inflammatory choroidal neovascularization after tubercular posterior scleritis

Inflammatory choroidal neovascularization after tubercular posterior scleritis

:44-47
 
A 45-year-old female presented with typical features of posterior scleritis in her left eye with visual acuity of 20/252. After treatment with oral steroids and immunosuppressive drugs, at 2 months follow-up, posterior scleritis resolved and visual acuity improved to 20/50. Five months later she presented with vision loss (20/160) associated with active choroidal neovascular membrane (CNVM) close to scar. Significant choroidal thinning (subfoveal choroidal thickness =137 microns), compared to fellow eye (subfoveal choroidal thickness =247 microns) was noted. Two doses of intravitreal bevacizumab (IVB) were given at 1 month interval. At 9 months follow-up, her visual acuity was maintained at 20/160 with scarred CNVM. In conclusion, IVB is safe and efficacious in treatment of inflammatory CNVM secondary to posterior scleritis. Choroidal changes after posterior scleritis could be contributory factor for formation of CNVM.
