ABSTRACT
@#Alzheimer's disease(AD)is a neurological degenerative disease that is insidious onset. The main pathological features are deposition of amyloid β(Aβ)and intracellular hyperphosphorylated tau protein. In recent years, studies have found that the manifestations of AD exist not only in the brain but also in the eyes, such as impaired visual function, changes in the pupil, Aβ deposition in the lens, changes in the retina and choroid, and so on. These ocular manifestations provide clues to the early diagnosis of AD and have positive clinical and social significance. Therefore, this article reviews the ocular manifestations of AD and their use as biomarkers for diagnosis and progression.

ABSTRACT
@#Amblyopia is one of the common eye diseases that seriously impairs children's vision. The past concept holds that amblyopia rarely has organic changes corresponding to vision loss. In recent years, with the development of examination methods, anatomical abnormalities have been found in the choroid, retina and brain structure of amblyopia patients, which provides a powerful basis for elucidating the pathogenesis of amblyopia. Furthermore, in addition to traditional occlusion therapy to treat amblyopia, some emerging treatments have also achieved excellent results. Therefore, this article reviews the anatomical and physiological changes and the progress of treatment methods of amblyopia.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate whether the conjoint combined with fascial sheath( CFS) suspension can be used as an effective method for correction of moderate and severe ptosis. Methods Thirty-five patients (39 eyes) with moderate or severe ptosis were treated in our hospital from January 2014 to March 2017 by means of CFS suspension,frontalis suspension and shortening of levator palpebrae superior-is,and all the patients were followed up for 3~12 months. Results The CFS suspension and the other two operations appeared effective;and compared with the other two methods,the difference was statistically significant(P<0. 05). The CFS suspension for the treatment of moderate and severe ptosis with a higher positive rate(95%) and the positive rate of the other two methods was 67%. In terms of complications,the CFS suspension showed eyelid dysraphism incidence rate was exposure keratitis occurred in 85. 7% and entropion occurrence rate of 4. 7%;with the other two methods,the surgical eyelid dysraphism occurred in 100% and the conjunctival prolapse occurred in 5. 6%. Conclusion The CFS suspension in correction of moderate and severe ptosis has the advantages of less trauma,less complications and good correction effect.
