ABSTRACT
@#AIM:To evaluate the effects of 0.01% atropine for Asian adolescents and children of low and medium myopia in diopter and axial length. <p>METHODS:We searched on PubMed, the Cochrane Library, Embase, CNKI, CBM, VIP and WanFang Data database for randomized controlled trials(RCTs). The published languages were limited to Chinese and English. The risk bias tool provided by the Cochrane cooperation scale was used to assess the risk bias of included studies of RCTs. The published biases of included studies were assessed by the Egger's test. Meta-analysis was performed with Review Manager 5.4. <p>RESULTS: Seven randomized controlled trials with a total of 979 subjects were included(440 in the 0.01% atropine group and 539 in the control group). The Meta-analysis showed that 0.01% atropine has a better effect than the control group in controlling the diopter growth in moderate and low myopia of Asian adolescents and children. The difference between the two groups was statistically significant \〖<i>WMD</i>=0.50, 95%<i>CI </i>(0.37, 0.64), <i>P</i><0.00001\〗. And the results also indicated that the change in axial length of 0.01% atropine was significantly less than the control group, the difference between the two groups was statistically significant \〖<i>WMD</i>= -0.20, 95%<i>CI </i>(-0.30, -0.10), <i>P</i>=0.0001\〗.<p>CONCLUSION: Based on the available evidence, 0.01% atropine offer in controlling axial length and diopter growth of low and medium myopia in Asian adolescents and children.
ABSTRACT
@#AIM:To evaluate the effect of higher-order aberrations(HOAs)after topography-guided and wavefront-optimized femtosecond laser-assisted <i>in situ</i> keratomileusis(FS-LASIK). <p>METHODS: We searched on PubMed, the Cochrane Library, Medline, CNKI, CBM, VIP and WanFang Data database for randomized controlled trials(RCTs)and comparative studies(CTs). The published languages were limited to Chinese and English. The risk bias tool provided by the Cochrane cooperation scale and Newcastle-Ottawa Scale were used to assess the risk bias of included studies of RCTs and CTs. The published biases of included studies were assessed by the Egger test. Meta-analysis was performed with Review Manager 5.4.<p>RESULTS: Two randomized controlled trials and six comparative studies with a total of 987 subjects were included(482 in the topography-guided FS-LASIK group, 505 in the wavefront optimized FS-LASIK group). The Meta-analysis showed that the topography-guided group has a better effect than the wavefront-optimized group in spherical equivalent, the difference between the two groups was statistically significant \〖<i>WMD</i>=0.11, 95%<i>CI </i>(0.07, 0.14), <i>P</i><0.00001\〗. And the results also indicated that there was a significant difference between the two groups with HOAs \〖<i>WMD= </i>-0.09, 95%<i>CI </i>(-0.13,-0.05), <i>P</i><0.0001\〗, spherical aberrations \〖<i>WMD=</i>-0.05, 95%<i>CI </i>(-0.09, -0.01), <i>P</i>=0.008\〗 and coma \〖<i>WMD=</i>-0.08, 95%<i>CI </i>(-0.12, -0.05), <i>P</i><0.00001\〗.<p>CONCLUSION: Based on the available evidence, topography-guided FS-LASIK has higher diopter and lower HOAs, spherical aberrations and coma than wavefront-optimized FS-LASIK.
