Abstract
PURPOSE By comparing the results of the new self-contained darkroom refractive screener (YD-SX-A) versus table-top autorefractor and cycloplegic retinoscopy, to evaluate the performance of the YD-SX-A in detecting refractive error in children and adolescents and then judge whether it can be used in refractive screening. METHODS Cross-sectional study. 1000 participants between the ages of 6 and 18 who visited the Optometry Center of the People's Hospital of Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region from June to December 2022 were selected. First, participants were instructed to measure their diopter with a table-top autorefractor (Topcon KR8800) and YD-SX-A in a noncycloplegic setting. After cycloplegia, they were retinoscopy by a professional optometrist. The results measured by three methods were collected respectively. To avoid deviation, only the right eye (1000 eyes) data were used in the statistical analysis. The Bland-Altman plots were used to evaluate the agreement of diopters measured by the three methods. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves was used to analysis effectiveness of detecting refractive error of YD-SX-A. RESULTS The average age of participants was 10.77 ± 3.00 years, including 504 boys (50.4%) and 496 girls (49.6%). When YD-SX-A and cycloplegia retinoscopy (CR) were compared in the myopia group, there was no statistical difference in spherical equivalent (SE) (P > 0.05), but there was a statistical difference in diopter spherical (DS) and diopter cylinder (DC) (P < 0.05). Comparing the diopter results of Topcon KR8800 and CR, the difference between each test value in the myopia group was statistically significant (P < 0.05). In the hyperopia group, the comparison between YD-SX-A and CR showed no statistically significant differences in the DC (P > 0.05), but there were significant differences in the SE and DS (P < 0.05). In the astigmatism group, the SE, DS, and DC were statistically different, and the DC of YD-SX-A was lower than that of CR and Topcon KR8800. Bland-Altman plots indicated that YD-SX-A has a moderate agreement with CR and Topcon KR8800. The sensitivity and specificity of YD-SX-A for detecting myopia, hyperopia and astigmatism were 90.17% and 90.32%, 97.78% and 87.88%, 84.08% and 74.26%, respectively. CONCLUSION This study has identified that YD-SX-A has shown good performance in both agreement and effectiveness in detecting refractive error when compared with Topcon KR8800 and CR. YD-SX-A could be a useful tool for large-scale population refractive screening.

[PMID: 36251042 DOI: 10.1007/s00347-022-01741-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/26/2022] [Revised: 09/08/2022] [Accepted: 09/14/2022] [Indexed: 04/29/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Small incision lenticule extraction (SMILE) is popular among young myopic adults for long-term correction of myopia; however, the excessive axial lengths of myopic eyes and the associated risks for more serious eye diseases later on remain with surgical correction of the refractive error. These risks are greater the higher the myopia is. Are patients well informed about this and to what extent does further eye growth occur even after SMILE? MATERIAL AND METHODS Myopic young adults who underwent binocular SMILE before 2019 were given the opportunity to have their eyes examined at a follow-up visit (biometry using IOL-Master 700 [Zeiss, Oberkochen, Germany], subjective refraction, examination of the anterior and posterior segments of the eye using the slit lamp) and to participate in a survey. Patients with a preoperative axial length ≥ 25.5 mm and a preoperative axial length < 25.5 mm (high myopia) were statistically evaluated separately. RESULTS A total of 44 patients (age 30.39 ± 2.39 years) appeared at the visit and the SMILE was 3.18 ± 0.82 years ago: The spherical equivalent at the follow-up visit was -0.05 ± 0.21 dpt in the weaker myopes and -0.18 ± 0.23 dpt in the high myopes. Of the respondents 27% estimated that SMILE would reduce the risk of retinal detachment and cataract, with 80% of high myopes underestimating the individual risk of retinal detachment. Also, 57% said they would not see an ophthalmologist until within 1 week if they had symptoms consistent with acute retinal detachment, and only 27% would go to an emergency room immediately. In general, 59% reported having normal health awareness and 41% reported going for annual ophthalmological check-ups. CONCLUSION The collected axial lengths and refractions show no relevant change in the eyes regarding progression of myopia; however, the patients' statements in the survey point out that most patients are not aware of the risk of serious eye diseases (retinal detachment, cataract). Therefore, repeated risk education and close postoperative care are needed, especially in preoperatively highly myopic patients.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW We discuss the preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative considerations for cataract surgery in eyes with high myopia. We also reviewed the recent literature on refractive outcomes and complications of cataract surgery in myopic eyes. RECENT FINDINGS Several novel intraocular lens (IOL) power calculation formulas have recently been developed to optimize refractive outcomes. Haigis formula is the most accurate among the third-generation IOL formulas. Novel formulas such as Barrett Universal II, Kane, and modified Wang-Koch adjustment for Holladay I formula provide a better refractive prediction compared with old formulas. Intraoperatively, the chopping technique is preferred to minimize pressure on weak zonules and reduce the incidence of posterior capsule rupture. Anterior capsular polishing is recommended to reduce the risk of postoperative capsular contraction syndrome (CCS). Postoperatively, complications such as refractive surprises, intraocular pressure spikes, and CCS remain higher in myopic eyes. Only 63% of myopic patients with axial length more than 26 mm achieve a visual acuity at least 20/40 after cataract surgery, mainly because of coexisting ocular comorbidities. SUMMARY There are multiple preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative considerations when performing cataract surgery in myopic eyes. Further research is needed to optimize the refractive outcomes in these eyes and determine the best IOL formula. Surgeons should be adept and knowledgeable with different techniques to manage intraoperative complications.

Abstract
Ocular diseases are closely related to the physiological changes in the eye sphere and its contents. Using biomechanical methods to explore the relationship between the structure and function of ocular tissue is beneficial to reveal the pathological processes. Studying the pathogenesis of various ocular diseases will be helpful for the diagnosis and treatment of ocular diseases. We provide a critical review of recent biomechanical analysis of ocular diseases including glaucoma, high myopia, and diabetes. And try to summarize the research about the biomechanical changes in ocular tissues (e.g., optic nerve head, sclera, cornea, etc.) associated with those diseases. The methods of ocular biomechanics research in vitro in recent years are also reviewed, including the measurement of biomechanics by ophthalmic equipment, finite element modeling, and biomechanical analysis methods. And the preparation and application of microfluidic eye chips that emerged in recent years were summarized. It provides new inspiration and opportunity for the pathogenesis of eye diseases and personalized and precise treatment.

EVIDENCE-BASED COMPLEMENTARY AND ALTERNATIVE MEDICINE : ECAM 2022; 2022:4159996. [PMID: 36147642 PMCID: PMC9489366 DOI: 10.1155/2022/4159996] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/20/2022] [Revised: 07/26/2022] [Accepted: 08/08/2022] [Indexed: 11/20/2022]
Abstract
Purpose This study mainly analyzes the efficacy of 0.01% atropine eye drops (low-dose atropine (LDA)) combined with virtual reality (VR)-based binocular visual function (BVF) balance training in the prevention and control of juvenile myopia. Methods One hundred and thirty-six juvenile myopia patients admitted between November 2018 to November 2021 were selected, including 76 cases (research group) receiving LDA + VR-based BVF balance training and 60 cases (control group) treated by LDA intervention alone. Visual acuity (VA; naked vision), ocular parameters (pupil diameter (PD), axial length (AXL), and diopter), intraocular pressure (IOP), accommodation facility, clinical efficacy, and incidence of adverse reactions were observed, compared, and analyzed in both groups. Results After analysis, it was found that the research group showed significantly higher naked vision and PD while statistically lower D after intervention than the corresponding preinterventional parameters than the control group. While AXL showed no statistical difference between the groups and within groups. The IOP also differed insignificantly between groups, but the post-treatment accommodation facility was better in the research group compared with the baseline (before treatment) and control group. In terms of curative effects, an obviously higher total effective rate was determined in the research group. In addition, the two groups showed no significant difference in the incidence of adverse reactions. Conclusions LDA + VR-based BVF balance training deserves clinical popularization, as it can prevent and control myopia among teenagers, with better adjusting effects on eye function and certain safety.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Glaucoma is the main cause of irreversible blindness worldwide. Still, little is known about nonocular risk factors. We use an umbrella review to examine the meta-analytic evidence of the correlation between nonocular factors and glaucoma. METHOD We searched PubMed and Embase databases up to July 24, 2020. Eligible meta-analyses (MAs) included cohort, case-control, and randomized controlled study designs. Two authors independently extracted the data and evaluated the methodological quality of the MAs. AMSTAR 2 was used to assess the methodological quality of each included MA. RESULTS This umbrella review contains 22 MAs with 22 unique nonocular factors in total. We identified 11 factors that increase the risk of glaucoma: hyperlipidemia, nocturnal dip in blood pressure, infection with Helicobacter pylori, myopia, obstructive sleep apnea syndrome, corneal properties, diabetes, hypertension, hypothyroidism, migraine, and plasma homocysteine. We identified 3 factors that reduce the risk of glaucoma: dietary intake of vitamin A, dietary intake of vitamin C, and short-term statin use. We identified 8 factors that had no association with glaucoma: dietary intake of vitamin B, dietary intake of vitamin E, cigarette smoking, Alzheimer's disease, serum folic acid, serum vitamin B6, serum vitamin B12, and serum vitamin D. CONCLUSIONS In this umbrella review of MAs, evidence was found for associations of various nonocular factors with glaucoma to different degrees. However, risk factors were only mildly associated, suggesting low impact of systemic risk factors. Additional higher quality studies are needed to provide robust evidence.

Abstract
PURPOSE Atropine at a low concentration is considered a safe and effective treatment to mitigate myopia progression. However, the potential unwanted side effects of administering atropine at a low dose on visual functions other than best corrected visual acuity has not been investigated. In this study, we investigate the short-term (12,16, and 20 h) and long-term (1, 2, and 4 weeks) effects of 0.01% atropine (i.e., 0.1 mg/ml) on contrast sensitivity (CS) in patients with myopia. METHODS Thirty adults (23.33 ± 2.93 years old) with myopia between -1.00 and -6.00 diopters (D), astigmatism of -1.50 D or less, and anisometropia of 1.00 D or less, participated in this prospective, masked, placebo-controlled, randomized study. The participants were randomly assigned to receive 0.01% atropine or polyvinyl alcohol eye drops once nightly to both eyes for four weeks. CS was measured binocularly at baseline and 12, 16, 20 h, 1, 2, and 4 weeks after the first use of the eye drops. RESULTS There was no statistically significant differences of CS found between atropine and placebo-controlled groups in both short-term and long-term. There was no statistically significant interaction effect found between the time and group. CONCLUSION We demonstrated no significant deleterious effect of 0.01% atropine on adult myopes' CS.

Corneal Penetration of Low-Dose Atropine Eye Drops. J Clin Med 2021; 10:jcm10040588.

Abstract
Major studies demonstrating the inhibition of myopia in children and juveniles by low-dose atropine eye drops provide little information on the manufacturing process and the exact composition of the atropine dilutions. However, corneal penetration might significantly vary depending on preservatives, such as benzalkonium chloride (BAC), and the atropine concentration. Since there is a trade-off between side effects, stability, and optimal effects of atropine on myopia, it is important to gain better knowledge about intraocular atropine concentrations. We performed an ex vivo study to determine corneal penetration for different formulations. Atropine drops (0.01%) of different formulations were obtained from pharmacies and applied to the cornea of freshly enucleated pig eyes. After 10 min, a sample of aqueous humor was taken and atropine concentrations were determined after liquid–liquid extraction followed by high-performance liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). The variability that originated from variations in applied drop size exceeded the differences between preserved and preservative-free formulations. The atropine concentration in the anterior chamber measured after 10 min was only 3.8 × 10−8 of its concentration in the applied eye drops, corresponding to 502.4 pM. Obviously, the preservative did not facilitate corneal penetration, at least ex vivo. In the aqueous humor of children’s eyes, similar concentrations, including higher variability, may be expected in the lower therapeutic window of pharmacodynamic action.

Abstract
AIM To investigate changes in macular vessels and thickness in myopic eyes after intraocular collamer lens (ICL) implantation using quantitative optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA). METHODS This retrospective included 73 myopic eyes of 73 patients (average age, 27.53±6.16y) who underwent ICL implantation (28 eyes were Toric ICL). Axial length (AL), uncorrected visual acuity (UCVA), refractive dioptre (RD), intraocular pressure (IOP) and OCTA were measured and compared with before and 1wk, 1, and 3mo after surgery. OCTA was used to image vessel density (VD) and skeleton density (SD) in both the superficial (SCP) and deep capillary plexus (DCP). Central retinal thickness (CRT) and ganglion cell-inner plexiform layer thickness (GCT) were also measured. Changes between pre- and postoperative measurements were analysed by repeated measures analysis of variance. RESULTS Compared with preoperative data, postoperative data on UCVA revealed significant improvements in all patients (P<0.05). However, there was no significant difference in IOP. After the operation, CRT and GCT exhibited significant changes (P<0.05). Among these measures, CRT was significantly higher at one and three months postoperative (all P<0.01). GCT was significantly higher at 1wk, 1, and 3mo postoperative (all P<0.01). Changes in VD and SD were nonsignificant in both the SCP and DCP. There was no difference in postoperative changes between the ICL and Toric ICL groups. CONCLUSION ICL and Toric ICL implantation both have good efficacy and safety for myopic eyes, but macular area changes that occur after surgery need attention.

Purpose: To evaluate the optical quality of highly myopic eyes under light and dark conditions and correlate it with other relevant parameters. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional, observational study was performed on 180 eyes of 90 highly myopic patients (29 males and 61 females; mean age: 27.833 ± 0.364 years [range: 18-45 years]). The modulation transfer function (MTF) cutoff frequency, Strehl ratio, objective scattering index (OSI), and predicted visual acuity (PVA; 100%, 20%, and 9%) under different lighting conditions were measured to evaluate the optical quality, which was correlated with probable relevant factors, including, axis length, spherical equivalent (SE), uncorrected distance visual acuity (UDVA), best-corrected distance visual acuity (BDVA), astigmatism, and corneal curvature. The relationship between these visual parameters and optical quality was analyzed using a generalized linear model. Results: The OSIs were 1.241 ± 0.068 and 1.515 ± 0.076; the MTF cutoff frequencies were 37.725 ± 0.559 and 30.238 ± 0.550 cpd; the Strehl ratios were 0.219 ± 0.004 and 0.175 ± 0.003; and the PVAs at 100%, 20%, and 9% were 1.257 ± 0.019 and 1.001 ± 0.018, 0.949 ± 0.017 and 0.719 ± 0.015, and 0.579 ± 0.011 and 0.439 ± 0.010, under bright and dark conditions respectively. The optical quality parameters were correlated with age, SE, BDVA, corneal astigmatism, and curvature to different degrees under different lighting conditions. Conclusions: The optical quality declined in highly myopic eyes under both bright and dark lighting conditions. SE, BDVA, corneal astigmatism, and curvature were correlated with optical quality to different degrees under different lighting conditions.

Abstract
Refractive errors are very common and can lead to severe pathological changes in the eye. This article analyzes the epidemiology of refractive errors in the general population in Germany and worldwide and describes common definitions for refractive errors and clinical characteristics for pathologicaal changes. Refractive errors differ between age groups due to refractive changes during the life time and also due to generation-specific factors. Current research about the etiology of refractive errors has strengthened the influence of environmental factors, which led to new strategies for the prevention of refractive pathologies.
