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.
目的：初步评价折叠顶压球囊(foldable capsule buckle,FCB)治疗孔源性视网膜脱离(rhegmatogenous retinaldetachment,RRD)的有效性、安全性以及手术可操作性。方法：裂孔位置距角膜缘后≥15 mm的采用前瞻性临床病例研究。选择2020年3月至2021年9月在济南明水眼科医院院行FCB植入术治疗裂孔位置距角膜缘后≥15 mm的10例RRD患者(10眼)。应用眼部B型超声、眼底照相评价手术效果。根据术后有无FCB是否暴露、复视情况、排斥反应、眼球运动障碍等术后并发症的发生情况评价手术的疗效和安全性。结果：随访6个月~2年。10例RRD患者在术后通过眼部B超、眼底照相及光学相干断层扫描(opticalcoherence tomography,OCT)评估视网膜均复位。1例合并黄斑区视网膜脱离的患者视力提高。9例患者术后出现复视，术后1~3个月复视消失，1例在术后4个月仍存在复视，行FCB取出，术后视网膜未出现再脱离，复视症状消失。结论：初步研究可确定折叠顶压球囊植入治疗裂孔位置比较靠后(距角膜缘后≥15 mm)且传统巩膜扣带术操作难度大的孔源性视网膜脱离安全、有效，对眼球损伤小，易于操作。
Objective: To preliminarily evaluate the effectiveness, safety and surgical operability of foldable capsule buckle (FCB) in the treatment of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD). Methods: It is a prospective clinical case study. Ten patients (10 eyes), with a distance of ≥ 15 mm from the posterior margin of the angular membrane at the location of the fissure, who underwent FCB implantation surgery for RRD at Jinan Mingshui Ophthalmology Hospital from March 2020 to September 2021 were enrolled. The surgical outcome was evaluated by B-ultrasound, fundus photography and optical coherence tomography (OCT). The surgical efficay and safety were evaluated by the postoperative complications, such as FCB exposure, diplopia, rejection, and eye movement limitation. Results: The mean follow-up time was 1 year (6 months to 2 years). Retinal reattachment was evaluated by B-ultrasound, fundus photography and OCT after operation in 10 patients. One patient with macular retinal detachment had improved visual acuity. 9 patients developed diplopia after operation, but diplopia disappears 1-3 months after operation. One patient still had diplopia 4 months after operation, and FCB was removed 4 months after operation. No retinal detachment occurred after operation, and the symptoms of diplopia disappeared.Conclusion: It is confirmed by this preliminary research that the implantation of the foldable capsule buckle is safe and effective to treat rhegmatogenous retinal detachment with a relatively posterior position (≥15 mm from the back of the corneal limbus) with little damage to the ocular and easy to operate, compared with the difficulty and complexity in traditional scleral buckling surgery.
视网膜神经纤维层是视网膜的最内层，主要由来自视网膜神经节细胞的无髓鞘轴突组成，此外还有神经胶质细胞与视网膜血管，其厚度与年龄、眼球增长、眼底结构改变等因素相关。光学相干断层扫描可以清晰展示角膜、视网膜、脉络膜、视神经等高分辨率断层图像，可以在活体上显示生物学组织的细微结构，在临床与科研中已获得广泛应用。在青光眼视神经病变中，光学相干断层扫描可以发现视野异常前的视网膜神经纤维层损害，已成为青光眼早期诊断与视神经损伤程度检测的重要手段。除视神经病外，越来越多的研究表明许多视网膜血管疾病、神经元变性疾病等视网膜疾病也有视网膜神经纤维层的损伤。探讨视网膜疾病与神经纤维层的关系，将有利于进一步推进对视网膜疾病发病机制及病理改变的认识。本文就视网膜神经纤维层的定量评估与多种视网膜疾病的关系展开综述，为其在视网膜疾病中的应用提供参考。
The retinal nerve fiber layer, the innermost layer of the retina, consists mainly of unmyelinated axons from retinal ganglion cells, as well as glial cells and retinal blood vessels , the thickness of which is related to factors such as age, ocular growth and fundus structure changes. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) can clearly display the cornea, retina, choroid, optic nerve and other high-resolution tomography images. It can show the fine structure of biological tissues in vivo, which has been widely used in clinical and scientific research. In glaucomatous optic neuropathy, OCT can detect the damage of retinal nerve fiber layer before abnormal visual field, which has become an important means of early diagnosis of glaucoma and detection of the degree of optic ner ve damage. In addition to optic neuropathy, more studies have shown that many retinal diseases such as retinal vascular diseases and neurodegenerative diseases also have retinal nerve fiber layer injury. Exploring the relationship between retinal diseases and nerve fiber layer will be beneficial to further promote the understanding of the pathogenesis and pathological changes of retinal diseases. This paper reviews the relationship between the quantitative evaluation of retinal nerve fiber layer and various retinal diseases, and provides reference for its application in retinal diseases.
视网膜静脉阻塞（retinal vein occlusion, RVO）是导致视力损害的主要眼底疾病之一，常引发视网膜缺血、出血、液体渗漏和黄斑水肿，从而导致视力下降甚至永久丧失。目前，RVO继发黄斑水肿的主要治疗方法是玻璃体腔内注射抗血管内皮生长因子（vascular endothelial growth factor, VEGF）药物。然而，RVO的病理机制不仅限于VEGF，还涉及血管生成素-2（angiopoietin-2, Ang-2）的作用。在病理状态下，Ang-2通过破坏血管稳定性，诱导新生血管形成，并加剧炎症反应，进一步促进RVO的病程进展。法瑞西单抗（Faricimab）作为一种双特异性抗体药物，能够同时抑制VEGF-A和Ang-2这两条关键的病理通路，显示出在改善患者视力方面的潜在优势。文章对Faricimab在RVO治疗中的作用机制、临床应用、相关治疗药物对比及未来发展前景进行了详细论述，为其在眼科领域的进一步应用提供了理论依据和参考。
Retinal vein occlusion (RVO) is one of the leading retinal diseases causing vision impairment and is often associated with retinal ischemia, hemorrhage, fluid leakage, and macular edema, ultimately resulting in decreased vision or even permanent vision loss. Currently, the primary treatment for RVO-associated macular edema is intravitreal injection of anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) agents. However, the pathological mechanisms of RVO are not limited to VEGF alone, but also involve angiopoietin-2 (Ang-2). Under pathological conditions, Ang-2 disrupts vascular stability, induces neovascularization, and exacerbates inflammatory responses, thereby accelerating the progression of RVO. Faricimab, as a bispecific antibody, can simultaneously inhibit both VEGF-A and Ang-2 pathways, which are critical in RVO pathogenesis, and has shown potential advantages in improving visual outcomes. The article provides a detailed discussion on the mechanism of action, clinical applications, comparison with related therapeutic agents, and future development prospects of Faricimab in the treatment of RVO, offering a theoretical basis and reference for its further application in ophthalmology.
近年来，眼部电流刺激(electrical stimulation,ES)在不同方向的研究中逐渐揭示了其在多种视网膜疾病中的潜在治疗价值。其中，经角膜电刺激(transcorneal electrical stimulation,TES)作为一种非侵入性的治疗方法，能对视网膜、视神经、眼底血管及其相关结构产生积极的影响。TES能够改善视力，在保护感光细胞和减缓疾病进展方面显示出积极效果，提高患者的生存质量，还能够在不损伤眼球的情况下调节大脑中的神经元活动，为视网膜疾病的治疗提供一种新的选择。该文对近年来TES在视网膜色素变性(retinitis pigmentosa,RP)、年龄相关性黄斑变性(age-related macular degeneration,AMD)、视网膜血管病、青光眼以及视神经病变等疾病中的应用研究进行了综述。研究发现，TES治疗是一种安全且无需手术的辅助治疗工具，具有广泛的应用前景。该文旨在为临床医师提供一个全面的TES研究概述，并深入探讨其在眼科学领域的潜在应用价值。然而，TES治疗的具体机制仍需进一步探讨，以便更好地应用于临床实践。同时，未来研究还应关注TES与其他治疗方法相结合的效果，以期为患者提供更多有效的治疗选择。
In recent years, electrical stimulation of the eye (ES) has gradually revealed its potential therapeutic value in a variety of retinal diseasesin different directions. Among them, transcorneal electrical stimulation (TES), as a non-invasive treatment, can have a positive effect on the retina, optic nerve, fundus vessels and related structures. TES can improve vision, show positive effects in protecting photoreceptor cells and slowing disease progression, improve the quality of life of patients, and can regulate neuronal activity in the brain without damaging the eyeball, providing a new option for the treatment of retinal diseases. The research on the application on TES on retinitis pigementosa (RP), age-related macular degeneration (AMD), retinal angiopathy, glaucoma and optic neuropathy are reviewed in this article. It is found in the study that TES therapy is a safe and surgery-free adjuvant therapy tool, and has a wide application prospect. The purpose of this article is to provide clinicians with a comprehensive overview of TES research,and to explore its potential application value in the field of ophthalmology. However, the specific mechanism of TES therapy still needs to be further explored in order to better apply in clinical practice. At the same time, future studies should also focus on the effect of combining TES with other treatment methods, in order to provide more effective treatment options for patients.
目的：探讨出血型视网膜大动脉瘤及合并症的红外光反射成像（infrared light reflection, IR）和眼底荧光血管造影（fundus fluorescein angiography, FFA）的影像特征。方法：采用回顾性病例系列研究。收集2010年2月—2024年6月在河南省立眼科医院确诊的出血型视网膜大动脉瘤患者35例35眼，所有眼均行IR联合FFA检查，其中10眼行吲哚菁绿血管造影（indocyanine green angiography, ICGA）检查，分析视网膜大动脉瘤及其合并症的眼底影像学特点。结果：IR检查显示34眼视网膜大动脉瘤体呈囊状反射光。FFA检查显示27眼视网膜大动脉瘤呈囊样强荧光，此外，FFA检查还发现5眼伴视网膜分支静脉阻塞，1眼伴视网膜分支动脉阻塞。FFA组在视网膜大动脉瘤检出率低于IR组(P <0.05)。在10眼出血型视网膜大动脉瘤中，IR组和ICGA组在视网膜大动脉瘤检出率方面比较差异无统计学意义(P >0.05)。结论：IR检查对于出血型视网膜动脉瘤的检测可等效于ICGA检查，IR联合FFA检查适合于出血型视网膜大动脉瘤及合并症的个体化诊断。
Objective: To evaluate the imaging characteristics of infrared light reflection (IR) and fundus fluorescein angiography (FFA) in hemorrhagic retinal artery aneurysm and its complications. Methods: Retrospective case series study was used. The clinic data of 35 patients (35 eyes) were diagnosed in Henan Eye Hosptial from February 2010 to June 2024. All eyes were examinated by IR and FFA, and 10 eyes examinated by indocyanine green angiography (ICGA). The fundus imaging characteristics of hemorrhagic retinal artery aneurysm and its complications was analyzed. Results: The images of IR presented 34 eyes with cystic strong reflex light. FFA showed 27 eyes with cystic strong fluorescence, in addition, FFA revealed 5 eyes with retinal branch vein occlusion and 1 eye with retinal branch artery occlusion. The detection rate of hemorrhagic retinal artery aneurysm in the FFA group was lower than that in the IR group (P =0.038<0.05). There was no significant difference in the detection rate of hemorrhagic retinal artery aneurysm between the IR group and the ICGA group in 10 eyes with hemorrhagic retinal artery aneurysm (P =1.000>0.05). Conclusion: IR examination could be equivalent to ICGA examination for detecting hemorrhagic retinal artery aneurysm, and IR combined with FFA examination is suitable for individualized diagnosis of hemorrhagic retinal artery aneurysm and its complications.
目的：探讨白塞病性葡萄膜炎(Behçet's uveitis, BU)并发视盘新生血管(neovascularization of the optic disc, NVD)和(或)视盘以外视网膜新生血管(retinal neovascularization elsewhere, NVE)的临床及影像特征。方法：回顾性分析2022年1月—2024年9月就诊的BU并发NVD和(或)NVE患者的临床资料和眼底影像学检查结果，包括眼底彩照、荧光素眼底血管造影(fluorescein fundus angiography, FFA)、光学相干断层成像(optical coherence tomography, OCT)和光学相干断层血管成像(OCT angiography, OCTA)。并分析NVD和(或)NVE面积与患眼的改良的眼后段炎症评分以及视网膜血管渗漏评分的相关性。结果：共纳入27例患者(30只眼)，年龄为(27.70±12.58)岁，男女比例约为1:1。3例(11%)患者双眼并发NVD和(或)NVE；25只眼(83%)存在NVD：17只眼(57%)仅有NVD；8只眼(27%)存在NVD和NVE。仅2只眼(7%)存在视网膜无灌注区，7只眼(23%)同时发生玻璃体积血。FFA眼后段炎症评分为(20.93±4.37)分。FFA血管渗漏评分为(7.57±1.25)分。NVD和(或)NVE面积与眼后段炎症评分(rs = 0.403，P = 0.027)及视网膜血管渗漏评分(rs = 0.518，P = 0.003)均呈正相关。FFA与OCTA在检测NVD和NVE上表现完全一致(κ= 1.0)。结论：BU并发NVD和(或)NVE并不罕见，以NVD为主，绝大多数与视网膜无灌注不相关，可能由BU炎症诱发。
Purpose: To investigate the clinical and imaging characteristics of retinal neovascularization of the optic disc (NVD) and/or elsewhere in the retina (retinal neovascularization elsewhere, NVE) in eyes with Behçet's uveitis (BU). Methods: This retrospective analysis reviewed the clinical data and fundus imaging findings of patients diagnosed with BU complicated by NVD and/or NVE from January 2022 to September 2024. Imaging modalities included fundus photography, fluorescein fundus angiography (FFA), optical coherence tomography (OCT), and OCT angiography (OCTA). The study analyzed the correlation between the areas of NVD and/or NVE and the modified posterior segment inflammation scores, as well as retinal vascular leakage scores of the affected eyes. Results: The study included 27 patients (30 eyes) with an average age of (27.70 ± 12.58) years and a gender ratio of approximately 1:1. Bilateral NVD and/or NVE was observed in three patients (11%); 25 eyes (83%) had NVD, of which 17 eyes (57%) had only NVD and 8 eyes (27%) had both NVD and NVE. Two eyes (7%) showed areas of retinal non-perfusion, and seven eyes (23%) had concurrent vitreous hemorrhage. The average score for posterior segment inflammation on FFA was 20.93 ± 4.37, and the average score for vascular leakage was 7.57 ± 1.25. There was a significant positive correlation between the area of NVD and/or NVE and both the inflammation score (rs = 0.403, P = 0.027) and the vascular leakage score (rs = 0.518, P = 0.003). FFA and OCTA showed perfect agreement in detecting NVD and NVE (κ = 1.0). Conclusion: NVD and/or NVE in BU are not uncommon and are predominantly presented as NVD, mostly not associated with retinal nonperfusion, likely induced by inflammatory factors related to BU.
Background: The purpose is to investigate the relationship between full-thickness macular hole (MH) and retinal break (RB) and/or lattice degeneration.Methods: Patients diagnosed as full-thickness MH and referred to Dr. Lin Lu from January 2009 to December 2013 were evaluated. All patients underwent general ophthalmologic examinations, fundus examination and optical coherence tomography (OCT). The RB and/or lattice degeneration were recorded.Results: Totally 183 eyes of 167 patients were included. The sex ratio of men to women was 1:2.88. A total of 17 eyes were pseudophakic and 166 eyes were phakic. RB and/or lattice degeneration were found in 62 eyes (33.88%). The prevalence of RB and/or lattice degeneration was similar between men and women (P=0.344>0.05). There was no statistical diff erence between the pseudophakic eyes and phakic eyes (P=0.138>0.05). All of the RB and/or lattice degeneration were located near or anterior to the equator. The inferior quadrants and the vertical meridian were aff ected more often than the superior quadrants and the horizontal meridian.Conclusions: We identified a high incidence of RB/lattice degeneration in cases of full-thickness MH. Carefully examination of the peripheral retina and prophylactic treatment of RB and/or lattice degeneration are critical.

Background: Different visual acuity chart can be targeted to evaluate the visual function of patients with different eye diseases. We conducted a comparative analysis of the digital logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution (LogMAR) vision chart and the standard logarithmic vision chart for the measurement of visual acuity after retinal detachment surgery.Methods: We used the digital LogMAR vision chart and the standard logarithmic vision chart to measure the visual acuity of 100 patients (100 eyes) who underwent retinal detachment surgery at our hospital using the LogMAR recording method and compared the differences between the mean measurements obtained by both methods for all patients and for different age groups.Results: When all of the patients were analyzed, the mean visual acuity differed between the digital LogMAR vision chart and the standard logarithmic vision chart by –0.07 LogMAR units. No significant difference was observed in the mean visual acuity between the two vision charts in the 10-20 year and 21-40 year age groups (P>0.05), while a significant difference was observed in post-operative mean visual acuity between the two vision charts for patients aged 41-65 years (P<0.05).Conclusions: Both the digital LogMAR vision chart and the standard vision chart were effective and reliable for the measurement of visual acuity. The visual acuity measured by the standard vision chart was higher than that measured by the digital LogMAR vision chart. We recommend using the digital LogMAR vision chart as the preferred chart for measuring visual acuity after retinal detachment surgery.
