JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2024; 480:135842. [PMID: 39316917 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2024.135842] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/27/2024] [Revised: 08/15/2024] [Accepted: 09/13/2024] [Indexed: 09/26/2024]
Abstract
Air pollution is associated with vision loss in children, but the relationship with vision trajectories has not been explored. The study was conducted as a prospective cohort in 16 districts of Shanghai from 2021 to 2023, involving 5612 children with complete survey data. Each child underwent 3-4 eye tests, including unaided visual acuity and computerized refraction. Children's air pollutant exposure levels (PM2.5, PM10, O3, SO2, NO2, and CO) were assessed using school addresses and examination dates. Latent class mixture modeling was used to identify the trajectories of changes in vision-related measurements in children. Multinomial logistic regression and Cox proportional hazards regression were used to examine the association of air pollutant exposure and visual trajectories, as well as visual impairment outcomes. The study identified three trajectory categories for children's unaided visual acuity, spherical equivalent, and four trajectory categories for axial length. Increased levels of PM2.5, PM10, O3, and SO2 exposure are associated with an increased risk of categorizing vision-related measurements into the "poor" category trajectory in children. Increased exposure to PM2.5, O3, and NO2 was associated with an increased risk of visual impairment outcomes in children with normal vision at baseline, and the effect was more significant in female and older children.

Abstract
PURPOSE To assess the ocular anterior segment characteristics in myopic eyes intended for ICL surgery with horizontal ciliary sulcus-to-sulcus (STS) diameters being greater than vertical STS diameters. METHODS This retrospective, comparative case study included 1230 eyes of patients who underwent ICL implantation for the treatment of myopia or myopic astigmatism at the Zhongshan Ophthalmic Center from September 2020 to November 2021. The myopic eyes were divided into two groups according to the relatively long diameter of the ciliary sulcus. General parameters and anterior chamber parameters were compared between the two groups. RESULTS 1230 eyes of 694 patients were included. The proportion of myopic eyes with longer horizontal STS diameters was 4.63%. Horizontal STS distances exceeding vertical meridians in these eyes were mainly attributed to the shortening of vertical STS distances (horizontal STS: P = 0.112; vertical STS: P < 0.001). Eyes with longer horizontal meridians of the ciliary sulcus displayed larger steep keratometry value (P = 0.001), larger corneal volume (P = 0.002), larger corneal astigmatism (P < 0.001), larger ocular residual astigmatism (P = 0.017), worse visual acuity (logMAR UDVA: P = 0.021; logMAR CDVA: P = 0.001), and more iridociliary cysts (P = 0.017) compared to eyes with vertically oval shapes. CONCLUSION Myopic eyes with longer horizontal STS diameters are commonly accompanied by a change in corneal morphology and more iridociliary cysts. The anatomical features of the ciliary sulcus should be given sufficient consideration to ICL size and placement selection, contributing to more personalized and precise surgery.

Diagnostics (Basel) 2023; 13:3097. [PMID: 37835840 PMCID: PMC10572683 DOI: 10.3390/diagnostics13193097] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/08/2023] [Revised: 09/25/2023] [Accepted: 09/28/2023] [Indexed: 10/15/2023] Open
Abstract
This prospective study aimed to evaluate the impact of Visian Implantable Collamer Lens (ICL) V4c implantation on retinal and choroidal morphology in patients with high myopia. A total of 97 eyes from 52 high myopic patients who underwent ICL V4c implantation were followed up for 12 months. Preoperative and postoperative evaluations included comprehensive ophthalmic assessments and enhanced depth imaging optical coherence tomography (EDI-OCT) to analyze changes in central retinal thickness (CRT), retinal volume (CRV), choroidal thickness (ChT), total choroidal area (TCA), luminal area (LA), and choroidal vascular index (CVI). Repeated measures mixed-effects models were used for comparing pre- and postoperative measurement variables and exploring relationships among age, axial length (AL), spherical equivalent refraction (SER), and postoperative retinal and choroidal changes, with statistical significance set at p < 0.05. Follow-up assessments were conducted at various time points, with participation rates ranging from 21% to 98%. Baseline characteristics showed a median age of 26.7 years, -10.14 diopters of SER, and an AL of 27.44 mm. Throughout the 12-month follow-up, CRT and 3.0 mm CRV consistently increased compared to the baseline, with statistically significant rises observed at postoperative day 1, week 1, and month 12. Most ChT measurements, including subfoveal ChT, declined over the 12 months, except at postoperative 6 months. Horizontal and vertical TCA and LA values significantly increased throughout the follow-up, except for month 6. After surgery, both horizontal and vertical CVI parameters exhibited an increase compared to the baseline, with some changes reaching statistical significance. Correlation analysis performed by repeated measures mixed-effects models showed that no relationship was found between age, AL, and SER and changes in postoperative retinal parameters and CVI parameters. However, postoperative changes in ChT and choroidal area parameters showed a negative correlation with AL and a positive correlation with SER. Our research demonstrated that ICL V4c implantation resulted in noteworthy alterations in retinal and choroidal morphology over a 1-year follow-up period. Moreover, in patients with high myopia, individuals with longer AL and higher degrees of myopia exhibited more pronounced postoperative changes in the choroid and retina. Further studies with extended follow-up durations are necessary to comprehensively understand the long-term effects of ICL implantation on retinal and choroidal morphology and function.

Abstract
Purpose: To evaluate the retinal microvascular alteration after implantable collamer lens (ICL) implantation in moderate to high myopia patients using quantitative optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA). Methods: This prospective cohort study included 50 eyes of 25 patients with preoperative spherical equivalent ≥ -3.00 D. Patients underwent bilateral ICL implantation at the Department of Ophthalmology, Peking University Third Hospital, from November 2018 to July 2019. OCTA was used to image the superficial and deep retinal capillary plexuses before ICL implantation surgery and at 3 months follow-up. Results: There was no significant difference in the microvascular density within each annular zone and all quadrantal zones of the superficial and deep layers found in myopia patients before and after ICL surgery. Conclusion: Levels of microvascular density in retinal capillary plexuses were stable, as detected by the OCTA, showing the high security of ICL implantation, which would not leave adverse effects on retinal microvasculature in myopia patients.

Abstract
Myopia is one of the most common forms of refractive eye disease and considered as a worldwide pandemic experienced by half of the global population by 2050. During the past several decades, myopia has become a leading cause of visual impairment, whereas several factors are believed to be associated with its occurrence and development. In terms of environmental factors, air pollution has gained more attention in recent years, as exposure to ambient air pollution seems to increase peripheral hyperopia defocus, affect the dopamine pathways, and cause retinal ischemia. In this review, we highlight epidemiological evidence and potential biological mechanisms that may link exposure to air pollutants to myopia. A thorough understanding of these mechanisms is a key for establishing and implementing targeting strategies. Regulatory efforts to control air pollution through effective policies and limit individual exposure to preventable risks are required in reducing this global public health burden.

Effect of Implantable Collamer Lens on Anterior Segment Measurement and Intraocular Lens Power Calculation Based on IOLMaster 700 and Sirius. J Ophthalmol 2022; 2021:8988479. [PMID: 34970453 PMCID: PMC8714341 DOI: 10.1155/2021/8988479] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/05/2021] [Accepted: 12/04/2021] [Indexed: 11/20/2022] Open
Abstract
Purpose To investigate the possible effect of an implantable collamer lens (ICL) on ocular biometrics and intraocular lens (IOL) power calculation. Methods Ocular measurements were taken preoperatively and at the two-month follow-up using IOLMaster 700 and Sirius in 85 eyes (43 patients) who had previously undergone ICL surgery. IOL power was calculated using either IOLMaster 700 (Barrett Universal II formula) or Sirius (ray-tracing). All data were compared using the paired t-test. Results The difference between preoperative and postoperative anterior chamber depth (ACD), lens thickness (LT), and keratometry on the steep axis (K2) measured by IOLMaster 700 was statistically significant (p < 0.001). In 11 of 85 eyes, IOLMaster misjudged the anterior surface of the ICL as that of the lens, leading to an error in ACD and LT. There were no significant differences between preoperative and postoperative axial length (AL) (p = 0.223), white to white (WTW) (p = 0.100), keratometry on flat axis (K1) (p = 0.117), or central corneal thickness (CCT) (p = 0.648), measured using IOLMaster. The difference in IOL power calculated using the Barrett II formula was significant (p = 0.013). Regression analysis showed that AL and K had the greatest influence on IOL calculation (p < 0.001), and ACD and LT had less influence (p = 0.002, p = 0.218, respectively). K1 and K2 were modified to exclude the influence of K2, and modified IOLs showed no difference between pre and postoperation (p = 0.372). Preoperative and postoperative ACD measured using Sirius were significantly different (p < 0.001); however, the IOL power calculated using ray-tracing technology showed no significant differences (p > 0.05). Conclusions The ocular biometric apparatus may misjudge the anterior surface of the lens, resulting in measurement errors of ACD and LT, which has little effect on the calculation of IOL power when using IOLMaster 700 (Barrett Universal II formula) and Sirius (ray-tracing).

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.

Abstract
PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to determine the retinal microvasculature in myopic patients after refractive surgery. METHODS Thirty-six right eyes of 36 patients who undertook femtosecond laser-assisted laser in situ keratomileusis (FS-LASIK) were imaged using optical coherence tomography angiography preoperatively, 1-week, 1-month, and 3-month postoperation, respectively. Vessel density was analyzed after the correction of magnification, and results were correlated with clinical manifestations, including spherical equivalent (SE), amplitude of accommodation, intraocular pressure, and axial length. RESULTS There was a significant decrease in microvascular density 1-week postoperation compared to preoperative measurement (p < 0.05), and it recovered 1-month postoperation. Microvascular densities in superficial vascular plexus (r = 0.528, p < 0.01), deep vascular plexus (r = 0.500, p < 0.01), and retinal vascular network (r = 0.390, p < 0.05) were all positively correlated with the decrease of the SE 1-week postoperation. CONCLUSION The transient alteration of the retinal microvasculature after refractive surgery appeared to recover quickly, which may not impact the visual function after FS-LASIK.

Abstract
Purpose To evaluate the relationships between refractive error, axial length (AL), and retinal vascular oxygen saturation in an adult population. Methods This was a hospital-based, prospective observational study. The left eyes of phakic adult subjects without media opacity were analyzed. Subjective undilated manifest refraction was performed, and refractive errors were defined as myopia (spherical equivalent [SE], <−1 D), emmetropia (SE between −1 D and +1 D) and hyperopia (SE >+1 D). Retinal oximetry was performed using the Oxymap system (Oxymap Inc., Reykjavik, Iceland). Multivariate linear regression models were constructed to assess the relationship between retinal vascular oxygen saturation, SE, and AL obtained with optical biometry, with adjustments for age, sex, race, blood pressure, hyperlipidemia, and diabetes mellitus. Results There were 85 subjects, with mean age of 66.1 ± 11.3 years. The majority were female (60%) and Chinese (84%). A total of 60% were myopic, 28% emmetropic, and 12% hyperopic. Mean SE was −5.29 ± 6.51 D and mean AL was 25.30 ± 2.99 mm. In multivariate analyses, more myopic SE and longer AL were associated with lower retinal arteriolar oxygen saturation (regression coefficient B = 0.61 [95% confidence interval, 0.28, 0.95], P = 0.001; and B = −1.13 [95% confidence interval, −1.71, −0.56], P < 0.001, respectively). Subjects with myopic SE and AL also had lower retinal arteriolar oxygen saturation than emmetropes and hyperopes (P = 0.03 and P = 0.02, respectively). Conclusions Eyes with more myopic SE and longer AL have lower retinal arteriolar oxygen saturation. Translational Relevance This study provides direct evidence of a link between retinal oxygenation and hypoxia and myopia by using a novel device that quantifies retinal vascular oxygenation in vivo.
