ABSTRACT
·AIM:To investigate the therapeutic effect of intravitreal injection of Ranibizumab combined with laser for diabetic macular edema (DME). ·METHODS: Totally 60 cases (60 eyes) of DME patients treated in ophthalmology department of our hospital from June 2014 to June 2016 were selected and divided into the observation group and the control group. The control group were treated with laser therapy, and the observation group received intravitreal injection of ranibizumab on the basis of the treatment of the control group. Comparison between two groups on the best corrected visual acuity before operation and at 1wk,1,3, 6mo after operation was taken. The non - contact tonometer was used to measure intraocular pressure before and after treatment. The optical coherence tomography(OCT) was conducted to assess preoperative and postoperative central macular thickness (CMT).The postoperative complications of two groups were recorded subsequently. ·RESULTS: The two groups' postoperative visual acuity was significantly improved,data of the observation group at 1,3mo after operation was sharply higher than that of the control group, there was statistical significance (P<0.05), and data at 1wk, 6mo after operation had no evident difference (P>0.05). After 1wk of treatment, the two groups'intraocular pressure increased,with statistical significance (P<0.05);there was no significant difference between the two groups on intraocular pressure before treatment and at 1,3,6mo after treatment(P>0.05). The postoperative CMT of two groups significantly decreased, data of the observation group at 1, 3mo after treatment was evidently lower than that of the control group, there was statistical significance (P<0. 05), and data before treatment, at 1wk, 6mo after treatment showed no significant difference(P>0.05). In the observation group, 5 cases (5 eyes) recurred within 6mo,the recurrence rate was 17%. In the control group, 10 cases (10 eyes) relapsed,the recurrence rate was 33%,the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). At postoperatively 2d, 2 cases(2 eyes) of the observation group and 3 cases (3 eyes) of the control group had high intraocular pressure, and then returned to normal by given the carteolol eye drops. ·CONCLUSION: Compared with laser therapy alone, intravitreal injection of ranibizumab combined with laser therapy has a significant and safe short-term treatment effective for DME patients with a fast visual acuity recovery.
ABSTRACT
AIM: To investigate the changes of corneal biomechanical indexes after femtosecond laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis ( LASIK ) , so as to provide theoretical basis for the safety study of femtosecond laser LASIK.?METHODS: Totally 85 myopia patients ( 170 eyes ) treated in our hospital from June 2014 to June 2016 were selected and underwent femtosecond laser LASIK surgery. The medical records of patients met the inclusion criteria were retrospectively analyzed. Corneal compensated intraocular pressure ( IOPcc ) and corneal resistance factor ( CRF ) , corneal hysteresis ( CH ) and Goldmann correlated to IOP value ( IOPg ) before operation, and at 3 and 6mo after surgery were measured by the ocular response analyzer, and central corneal thickness was measured by A type ultrasonic measuring instrument.?RESULTS:At postoperative 3 and 6mo, central corneal thickness was sharply lower than that before surgery, with a statistical significance ( P<0. 05 ); postoperative IOPcc, CRF, CH, IOPg and other corneal biomechanical parameters decreased distinctively, with statistical meaning ( P<0. 05 ); data at postoperative 3 and 6mo showed no evident differences ( P>0. 05 ); the cornea cutting thickness was 98. 67 ± 7. 56μm, CH and CRF variation were 3. 40 ± 0. 34mmHg, 3. 55 ± 0. 43mmHg respectively, the cornea cutting thickness was positively correlated with CH, CRF variation ( r=0. 232, 0. 254; P<0. 001).? CONCLUSION: Femtosecond laser LASIK can apparently reduce corneal thickness as well as the corneal biomechanical indexes, the data at postoperative 3mo tends to be stable.
ABSTRACT
AIM:To investigate the effect of intravitreal injection of anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) drugs combined with other methods in the treatment of Coats disease.METHODS:Selected 13 patients 13 eyes with Coats disease in our hospital from May 2013 to May 2016.All eyes were treated with intravitreal injection of ranibizumab and combined with scleral drainage, laser photocoagulation and so on.We observed visual acuity and retinal reattachment.RESULTS:In 13 eyes, the treatment of 4 eyes with intravitreal injection of ranibizumab and combined with scleral drainage, 3 eyes combined laser photocoagulation, 6 eyes combined vitrectomy, membrane peeling, freezing, silicone oil filling or other treatments.Eyeball retention rate was 100%.Visual acuity at 6mo after treatment significantly improved compared with before treatment (P<0.05).The visual acuity was ≥0.05-0.1, 0.01-<0.05, counting finger, light perception and hand moving before treatment in 0, 0, 38%, 38% and 23%, after treatment were 23%, 23%, 38%, 15% and 0.Complete retinal reattachment was achieved in 5 eyes, accounting for 38%;basic reset in 3 eyes, accounting for 23%;5 eyes were not reset, accounting for 38%.CONCLUSION:Intravitreal injection of anti-VEGF drugs combined with other methods for the treatment of Coats disease have a certain effect, can improve or maintain the limited visual function, avoid enucleation of eyeball due to disease progression.
ABSTRACT
AIM: To investigate curative effects of excimer laser corneal refractive surgery for adults or older adolescent with hyperopic anisometropic amblyopia.METHODS: From March 2014 to March 2016, we selected 26 cases 26 eyes of adults or older adolescent with hyperopic anisometropic amblyopia in our hospital.All eyes underwent laser in situ keratomileusis, observed for the uncorrected visual acuity (UCVA), best corrected visual acuity (BCVA), diopter and stereopsis.RESULTS: At the end of the follow-up, the patient`s spherical equivalent and anisometropia were 1.47±0.51D and 1.15±0.22D, were significantly lower than that before operation (P<0.05).At the end of the follow-up, the distance and near UCVA and BCVA were 0.26±0.13 and 0.23±0.09, 0.42±0.09 and 0.31±0.16, which were significantly higher than those before operation (P<0.05).At the end of follow-up, the visual function of the patients was significantly improved (P<0.05), the rate of postoperative visual function < 100 eyes was 23%.CONCLUSION: In adult or older adolescent with hyperopic anisometropic amblyopia, excimer laser corneal refractive surgery has a certain effect.
