ABSTRACT
@#AIM: To investigate the relationship between the prevalence of peripheral retinal degeneration and myopic degree by using the fort ultra wide angle scanning laser ophthalmoscope(Daytona P200T)for small, early and high middle school period of low, medium and high myopia students peripheral retinal scan.<p>METHODS: With method of stratified random cluster sampling, to select myopia students in two primary schools, one junior middle school and one senior high school in Mianyang. According to different degrees, the myopia was divided into low, medium and high myopia, with 300 people and 600 eyes respectively. Application of Daytona P200T in natural pupil downward fundus image acquisition, and then the senior ophthalmologist performed the fundus examination under the slit lamp after pupil dilation.<p>RESULTS: The prevalence of peripheral retinal degeneration was different among different refractive groups, and the higher the myopia, the higher the prevalence of peripheral retinal degeneration(χ2=75.76, <i>P</i><0.001). Comparison between different degree groups prevalence of peripheral retinal degeneration: frost degeneration(STD)no statistical difference between the three groups(χ2=5.66,<i> P</i>=0.059), lattice degeneration(LD), snail track degeneration(SD), non-oppressive whitening(WWP), cystic degeneration(CD), hiatal(DRP), pigment degeneration(RP)were differences among three groups. For further comparison, except WWP(χ2=9.385, <i>P</i>=0.002), low height both two(<i>P</i>>0.017). Moderately and highly group compared, in addition to the CD(χ2=8.525, <i>P</i>=0.004)and the RP(χ2=6.454, <i>P</i>=0.011), the rest were not tested statistically. Compared with the prevalence of peripheral retinal degeneration in different segments, retinal degeneration was observed in 34 eyes(5.7%)in primary school, 90 eyes(14.9%)in junior middle and 130 eyes(21.9%)in senior high. The prevalence of peripheral retinal degeneration increased with the increase of medical grade(χ2=64.79, <i>P</i><0.001). The prevalence of WWP and CD showed no statistical difference between junior middle school and primary school and senior high school(<i>P</i>>0.05). For further comparison, except LD(χ2=6.209, <i>P</i>=0.013)and STD(χ2=9.953, <i>P</i>=0.002), no statistical difference in the primary schools and junior middle, junior middle and senior high(<i>P</i>>0.017), statistical difference was detected between the primary schools and senior high school(<i>P</i><0.017).<p>CONCLUSION: The prevalence of peripheral retinal degeneration of myopia was positively correlated with myopia and learning period.
ABSTRACT
coefficient of variation, corneal endothelium hexagonal cell ratio, anterior corneal surface curvature ratio of horizontal(HK) and vertical curvature(VK) were not statistically significant before and after wearing for 6mo, 1, and 2a (P > 0. 05). The uncorrected visual acuity increased significantly, and the diopter decreased significantly after their wearing (P<0.05). There was no significant difference in axial length after wearing OK lens for 6mo,1,and 2a (P>0.05). CONCLUSION: The orthokeratology lenses can significantly increase uncorrected visual acuity and improve refractive power for juvenile myopia without severe corneal or conjunctival complications occurred, which has little influence on corneal endothelial cells and corneal thickness with a certain degree of safety.
ABSTRACT
@#Myopia, a deteriorated and still unsolved eye problem in China, shows the character of early onset, rapid progress and increased proportion of high myopia. Because of the serious complication caused by high myopia, such as retinal detachment, glaucoma, cataract and macular disorders, it can even lead to the irreversible loss of vision. The prevention and effective control of myopia turn to be an urgent social problem. In this review, causes and the progress of treatment in myopia are described.
ABSTRACT
AIM:To evaluate the clinical characteristics in retinal nerve fiber layer ( RNFL) thickness of the 8~17 years old near sightedness, provide the basis for juvenile glaucoma diagnosis, to avoid missed diagnosis and misdiagnosis. METHODS:A total of 165 eyes from 99 healthy subjects ( age range 8 ~ 17 years ) were divided into low, moderate, high myopia and normal group. Cirrus HD OCT was used to measure the RNFL thickness. Each subject was performed circular scans around the optic nerve with a circle size of 3. 46mm. Total average, mean quadrant and clock - hour RNFL thicknesses were recorded and compared between the four groups. The characteristics of the RNFL thickness of myopia were observed. RESULTS: Compared myopia groups with normal group, the mean RNFL thickness decreased, there was statistically significant difference in high myopia group (PCONCLUSION: Compared adolescent myopia with normal, the Avg ( mean RNFL thickness ) , S ( superior quadrant RNFL thickness ) , I ( inferior quadrant RNFL thickness), 1:00, 5:00, 6:00 and 12:00 o'clock RNFL thickness is thinner, which is decreased with the increasing SE. While the temporal ( T) quadrant, 8:00, 9:00, 10:00 o'clock RNFL thickness is thicker, which increased with the increasing SE. Analysis of RNFL thickness in the evaluation of glaucoma should always be interpreted with reference to the refractive status, so as not to cause misdiagnosis of glaucoma. The highest diagnosis efficiency position of glaucoma is infratemporal (7:00~8:00 o'clock) and superior temporal (10:00 ~11:00 o'clock), which is not thinner in juvenile myopia, if these positions become thinner, it may be the possibility of glaucoma.
ABSTRACT
Juvenile myopia has become the most prominent issues to students' healthy growth in recent years,attracted widely concerns in the community.Evidence-based eye scientific research has shown that there is no method to cure myopia.Preventive treatment explores the unique effects of early interventions by providing patients with guidance on young people's daily life,diet and myopic prevention measures,which may effectively improve the incidence of juvenile myopia and has well social benefits.
ABSTRACT
The effects of acupuncture treatment were investigated in 200 patients (99 males and 101 females, average age 16.1±0.2 (SE.)) who complained of reduced visual acuity, including juvenile myopia (age 13.25).<BR>Acupuncture treatment involved leaving the needle in place for 15 min, after inserting to a depth of 10-5 mm from the skin surface.<BR>The vital points Taiyo (Ex-HN5), Fuchi (GB-20), Shokyu (ST-1) and Goukoku (LI-4) were the basic points used for acupuncture therapy with Ganen (GB-4), Sanchiku (BL-2), Zui (ST-8) or Kyokuchi (LI-11) as supplemental points depending on individual symptoms. These acupuncture treatments improved the mean acuity by 0.33 in the right eye and 0.31 in the left.<BR>Analysis of these results indicated that acupuncture treatment caused significant improvement of visual acuity (P<0.01). Therefore, acupuncture therapy was considered to be an effective treatment that improved regulation of the ciliary muscle and the pupillary myosis system.
