:185-193
 
近年来,眼科人工智能(artificial intelligence,AI)迅猛发展,眼底影像因易获取及其丰富的生物信息成为研究热点,眼底影像的AI分析在眼底影像分析中的应用不断深入、拓展。目前,关于糖尿病性视网膜病变(diabetic retinopathy,DR)、年龄相关性黄斑变性(age-related macular degeneration,AMD)、青光眼等常见眼底疾病的临床筛查、诊断和预测已有较多AI研究,相关成果已逐步应用于临床实践。除眼科疾病以外,探究眼底特征与全身各种疾病之间的关系并据此研发AI诊断系统已经成为当下的又一热门研究领域。AI应用于眼底影像分析将改善医疗资源紧缺、诊断效率低下的情况,为多种疾病的筛查和诊断开辟“新赛道”。未来眼底影像AI分析的研究应着眼于多种眼底疾病的智能性、全面性诊断,对复杂性疾病进行综合性的辅助诊断;注重整合标准化、高质量的数据资源,提高算法性能、设计贴合临床的研究方案。
In recent years, artificial intelligence (AI) in ophthalmology has developed rapidly. Fundus image has become a research hotspot due to its easy access and rich biological information. The application of AI analysis in fundus image is under continuous development and exploration. At present, there have been many AI studies on clinical screening, diagnosis and prediction of common fundus diseases such as diabetic retinopathy (DR), age-related macular degeneration (AMD), and glaucoma, and related achievements have been gradually applied in clinical practice. In addition to ophthalmic diseases, exploring the relationship between fundus features and various diseases and developing AI diagnostic systems based on this has become another popular research field. The application of AI in fundus image analysis will improve the shortage of medical resources and low diagnostic efficiency, and open up a “new track” for screening and diagnosis of various diseases. In the future, research on AI analysis of fundus image should focus on the intelligent and comprehensive diagnosis of multiple fundus diseases, and comprehensive auxiliary diagnosis of complex diseases, and lays emphasis on the integration of standardized and high-quality data resources, improve algorithm performance, and design clinically appropriate research program.

Objective: To analyze the application of general anesthesia in the ambulatory glaucoma surgery. Methods: This retrospective study collected 71 patients who underwent ambulatory glaucoma surgery with general anesthesia at Zhongshan Ophthalmic Center of Sun Yat-sen University from January 2023 to June 2023, and 154 patients who underwent similar glaucoma surgery with local anesthesia during the same period. Age differences between the two groups were balanced by propensity score-matched analysis. The main outcome measures were the patients' post-operative discharge time, and the secondary end points included the duration of surgery, the patients' preoperative and postoperative intraocular pressure (IOP), visual acuity status, central anterior chamber depth, peripheral anterior chamber depth, mannitol use, the difference in IOP reduction after surgery compared to preoperative. Results: After propensity score-matched analysis, as compared with group L, general anesthesia did not prolong the patients' post-operative discharge time(P>0.05).Patients in the group G displayed significant higher IOP (P<0.001), shallower central anterior chamber depth (P=0.018), and shallower peripheral anterior depth (P<0.001). The dramatic reductions in IOP after surgery were exhibited in group G as compared with group L(P=0.002). There were no statistically significant differences in postoperative central anterior chamber depth, incidences in postoperative mannitol use, as well as incidences in visual acuity improvement on the first day after surgery. Conclusion: Glaucoma patients with poor preoperative ocular conditions were able to complete the complex glaucoma surgery under general anesthesia without prolonging their post-operative discharge time.

Real world application of a smartphone-based visual acuity test (WHOeyes) with automatic distance calibration

:431-442
 
目的:开发一款可自动校准测试距离的智能手机视力检测APP(WHOeye的iOS版本),并评估其实用性。方法: WHOeyes在经过验证的视力检测APP “V@home”的基础上新增自动距离校准(automatic distance calibration, ADC)功能。研究招募了3组不同年龄(≤20岁、20~40岁、>40岁)的中国受试者,分别使用糖尿病视网膜病变早期治疗研究(Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study, ETDRS)视力表和WHOeyes进行远距离和近距离的视力检测。ADC功能用于确定WHOeyes的测试距离。红外测距仪用于确定ETDRS的测试距离以及WHOeyes的实际测试距离。通过问卷调查评估用户满意度。结果:WHOeyes ADC确定的实际测试距离在3个年龄组中均与预期测试距离总体上表现出良好的一致性(P > 0.50)。在远距离和近距离视力检测方面,WHOeyes的准确性与ETDRS相当。WHOeyes与ETDRS之间的平均视力差异范围为–0.084 ~ 0.012 logMAR,各组的二次加权卡帕系数(quadratic weighted kappa, QWK)均大于0.75。WHOeyes在近距离和远距离视力检测中的重测信度高,平均差异范围为–0.040 ~ 0.004 logMAR,QWK均大于0.85。问卷调查显示WHOeyes具有较好的用户体验和接受度。结论:与金标准ETDRS视力表方法相比,WHOeyes测试距离较为准确,可以提供准确的远距离和近距离视力测量结果。
Background: To develop and assess usability of a smartphone-based visual acuity (VA) test with an automatic distance calibration (ADC) function, the iOS version of WHOeyes. Methods: The WHOeyes was an upgraded version with a distinct feature of ADC of an existing validated VA testing APP called V@home. Three groups of Chinese participants with different ages (≤20, 20-40, >40 years) were recruited for distance and near VA testing using both an Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS) chart and the WHOeyes. The ADC function would determine the testing distance. Infrared rangefinder was used to determine the testing distance for the ETDRS, and actual testing distance for the WHOeyes. A questionnaire-based interview was administered to assess satisfaction. Results: The actual testing distance determined by the WHOeyes ADC showed an overall good agreement with the desired testing distance in all three age groups (p > 0.50). Regarding the distance and near VA testing, the accuracy of WHOeyes was equivalent to ETDRS. The mean difference between the WHOeyes and ETDRS ranged from -0.084 to 0.012 logMAR, and the quadratic weighted kappa (QWK) values were greater than 0.75 across all groups. The test-retest reliability of WHOeyes was high for both near and distance VA, with a mean difference ranging from -0.040 to 0.004 logMAR and QWK all greater than 0.85. The questionnaire revealed an excellent user experience and acceptance of WHOeyes. Conclusion: WHOeyes could provide accurate measurement of the testing distance as well as the distance and near VA when compared to the gold standard ETDRS chart.

临界闪烁融合频率在视网膜和视神经疾病中的应用

The application of critical flicker fusion frequency in retinal and optic nerve diseases

:239-244
 
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.

Schlemm's canal结构和功能调控的研究进展及其在青光眼治疗中的应用

Research progress on the structure and functional regulation of Schlemm's canal and its application in glaucoma treatment

:631-639
 
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.

超声睫状体成形术治疗青光眼的临床应用研究进展

Research progress on clinical application of ultrasound cycloplasty in the treatment of glaucoma

:395-401
 
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.

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.

婴幼儿眼病的人工智能应用

Artificial intelligence application for infantile eye diseases

:214-221
 
近年来随着医疗领域数字化、信息化建设的加速推进,人工智能的应用越来越广泛,在眼科医学方面尤为突出。婴幼儿处于视觉系统发育的关键时期,此时发生的眼病往往会造成不可逆的视功能损伤,带来沉重的家庭和社会负担。然而,由于婴幼儿群体的特殊性以及小儿眼科医生的短缺,开展大规模小儿眼病筛查工作十分困难。最新研究表明:人工智能在先天性白内障、先天性青光眼、斜视、早产儿视网膜病变以及视功能评估等领域已经得到相关应用,在多种婴幼儿眼病的早期筛查、诊断分期、治疗建议等方面都有令人瞩目的表现,有效解决了许多临床难点与痛点。但目前婴幼儿眼科人工智能仍然不如成年人眼科发展充分,亟须进一步的探索和研发。
In recent years, with the acceleration of digitalization and informatization in medical field, artificial intelligence (AI) is more and more widely applied, especially in ophthalmology. Infants are in the critical period of visual development, during which eye diseases can lead to irreversible visual impairment and bring heavy burden to family and society. Due to the particularity of infants and the shortage of pediatric ophthalmologists, it is challenging to carry out large-scale screening for eye diseases of infants. According to the latest studies, AI has been studied and applied in the fields of congenital cataract, congenital glaucoma, strabismus, amblyopia, retinopathy of prematurity, and evaluation of visual function, and it has achieved remarkable performance in the early screening, diagnosis stage and treatment suggestions, solving many clinical difficulties and pain points effectively. However, AI for infantile ophthalmology is not as developed as for adult ophthalmology, so it needs further exploration and development.
