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.
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.
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。

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.
角膜移植手术是治疗角膜病变重要且有效的手段。但对眼表功能完全失代偿、多次角膜移植排斥等类型的患者，常规同种异体角膜移植手术成功率却非常低。对于这类患者，人工角膜植入术成为复明的新希望。随着人工角膜的设计和植入方式的不断改进，人工角膜的功效及优点已渐渐突显。目前，波士顿I型(领扣型)人工角膜在全球范围内应用最为广泛。现就波士顿I型人工角膜的基本特征、临床应用及未来发展等方面进行阐述。
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.
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.
玻璃体替代物是玻璃体切割术后的必需品，用于填充玻璃体腔，恢复玻璃体的支撑视网膜、屈光和细胞屏障等功能。严重眼外伤及复杂视网膜脱离引起的视网膜/脉络膜脱离，如选用传统的玻璃体替代物(如硅油)填充，部分患者会出现硅油依赖眼或眼球萎缩，眼球难以保全。折叠式人工玻璃体球囊(foldable capsular vitreous body,FCVB)是我国独立研发的挽救眼球的人工玻璃体，属于国际首创，可以精细模拟自然玻璃体的结构，恢复玻璃体的部分功能。目前临床研究证实FCVB不仅可以有效避免硅油的并发症，还可以维持后房空间，缓慢恢复睫状体的功能，从而治疗硅油依赖眼，阻止眼球进一步萎缩。该文综述了FCVB的研究背景、结构特点、临床应用和拓展研究进展。
Vitreous substitutes are necessary after vitrectomy to fill the vitreous cavity and restore the vitreous to support retinal, refractive, and cellular barrier functions. Severe ocular trauma-induced retinal/choroidal detachment filled with traditional vitreous substitutes (e.g., silicone oil) can lead to silicone oil-dependent eyes and ocular atrophy in some patients, making it difficult to preserve the eye. Foldable capsular vitreous body (FCVB) is an artificial vitreous body independently developed in China to save the eye, which is the first of its kind in the world and can finely simulate the structure of natural vitreous body and restore some of the functions of vitreous body. It has been clinically proven that it can not only effectively avoid the complications of silicone oil, but also maintain the posterior chamber space and slowly restore the function of the ciliary body, thus treating silicone oil-dependent eyes and preventing further atrophy of the eye. This article reviews the research background, structural features, clinical applications and extended studies of FCVB.

碳点是一种新型荧光碳纳米材料，直径一般小于10 nm，具有自发荧光、高生物组织相容性、易于修饰、成本低廉等优点，在生物医学领域拥有广阔的应用前景。眼球因其独特的屏障结构，常规药物停留时间短、穿透性差，通过局部滴眼到达病灶的药物浓度有限，需要增加给药频次以保持药效。另外，糖尿病性黄斑水肿(diabetic macular edema,DME)、脉络膜新生血管(diabetic macular edema,CNV)等疾病的治疗给药则需依赖于玻璃体腔注射，该方法属于有创操作，有引起潜在并发症的可能，且需多次注射，给患者造成了沉重的心理和经济负担。优化眼部给药方法一直是眼科学领域的研究热点。基于碳点的优异特性，碳点在眼部药物递送、眼部成像、眼疾病诊疗中已展现出优秀的应用潜力。本综述将综合介绍碳点的特点及近十年来碳点在眼科疾病诊疗中的研究进展，旨在提供关于碳点在眼科应用现状的系统性认识，为未来研究提供方向。
Carbon dots is a new type of fluorescent carbon nanomaterial, which the diameter is generally less than 10 nm, has the advantages of self-fluorescence, remarkable biocompatibility, easy modification, low cost and so on, has a broad application prospect in the biomedical field. Due to the unique barrier of the eye, conventional drugs have a short residence time and poor penetration, so the concentration of drugs that can reach the lesions through local eye drops is limited, and for what to increase the frequency of administration to maintain efficacy. Up to now, the treatment of posterior eye diseases, such as diabetic macular edema (DME), choroidal neovascularization (CNV) and other diseases still rely on repeated vitreous injection, which is an invasive procedure with potential complications, and need multiple injections, causing a heavy psychological and economic burden on patients. Optimizing the method of ocular drug delivery has always been a hot topic in the field of ophthalmology. Carbon dots have shown excellent application potential in the ocular drug delivery, ocular imaging, and diagnosis and treatment of ocular disease based on its excellent characteristics. This review will systematically introduce the characteristics of carbon dots and the application of carbon dots in the diagnosis and treatment of eye diseases, aiming to provide a comprehensive understanding of the current situation of the application of carbon dots in ophthalmology and provide directions for future research.

目的：探讨超声乳化晶状体吸除联合囊袋上经巩膜缝线固定人工晶状体(intraocular lens,IOL)植入术治疗球形晶状体(microspherophakia,MSP)的有效性和安全性。方法：采用回顾性分析，选取2019年1月至 2020年6月期间在复旦大学附属眼耳鼻喉科医院进行治疗的MSP患者37例(37眼)，随机分为两组，纳入行超声乳化晶状体吸除联合囊袋上巩膜缝线固定IOL植入术(supra-capsular and scleral-fixated intraocular lens implantation,SCSF-IOL)的MSP患者20例(20眼)和行超声乳化晶状体吸除联合改良型囊袋张力环植入术(transscleral-fixated modified capsular tension ring and in-the-bag intraocular lens implantation,MCTR-IOL)的MSP患者17例(17眼)，观察两组术后最佳矫正视力及并发症等情况。结果：两组术后最佳矫正视力比术前均有改善(P<0.001)，而组间比较差异无统计学意义(P=0.326)。两组的IOL倾斜度相当(P=0.216)。预防性Nd:YAG激光后囊膜切开术在SCSFIOL术后1周至1个月进行。在SCSF-IOL组，2眼(10.00%)需要重复激光治疗，1眼(5.00%)出现囊口偏心。后囊膜混浊是MCTR组最常见并发症(6眼,35.29%)。随访期间两组均未出现IOL脱位、继发性青光眼和视网膜脱离。结论：SCSF-IOL是治疗球形晶状体的简单易行的手术方式，疗效与MCTR-IOL相当。Nd:YAG激光后囊膜切开术是预防SCSF-IOL术后囊袋并发症的必要手段。
Objective: To investigate the efficacy and safety of phacoemulsification combined with supra-capsular and scleral-fixated intraocular lens (IOL) implantation in the treatment of microspherophakia (MSP). Methods: by retrospective analysis, 37 MSP patients (37 eyes) who were treated in our hospital from January 2019 to June 2020 were randomly divided into two groups, including 20 MSP patients (20 eyes) who treated by SCSF-IOL and 17 MSP patients (17 eyes) who treated by transscleral-fixated modified capsular tension ring and in-the-bag intraocular lens implantation (MCTR-IOL). The best corrected vision and complications were observed. Results: the best corrected vision was significantly improved in both groups (P < 0.001), but there was no remarkable difference between the two groups (P = 0.326). The IOL tilt was also comparable (P = 0.216). Prophylactic Nd: YAG laser posterior capsulotomy was performed from 1 week to 1 month after the SCSF-IOL procedure. In the SCSF-IOL group, two eyes (10.00%) needed repeated laser treatment, and one eye (5.00%) had a decentered capsule opening. Posterior capsular opacification was the most common complication (6, 35.29%) in the MCTR group. No IOL dislocation, secondary glaucoma, or retinal detachment was observed during follow-up. Conclusions: SCSF-IOL is a simple and viable surgical option for managing MSP and is comparable with the MCTR-IOL. Nd: YAG laser posterior capsulotomy is a necessary mean to prevent residual capsule complications after the SCSF-IOL procedure.
