A comparative study of visual quality between implantable collamer lens implantation and femtosecond LASIK for myopia / 中华实验眼科杂志

Background The incidence of myopia is gradually increasing,and how to choose a better corrective method of myopia for the best visual demand is very important.Objective This study was to compare visual quality of implantable collamer lens (ICL) implantation with femtosecond laser in situ keratomileusis (FSLASIK) for moderate and high myopia using double-pass optical quality analysis system (OQAS).Methods A non-randomized controlled clinical trail was performed.Fifty-two eyes with-4.00 to-9.00 D of 26 consecutive patients were included in NO.1 Hospital of Xi'an from January 2015 to January 2016.Twenty-four eyes of 12 patients with the corneal thickness ＜500 μm received ICL implantation as ICL group and 28 eyes of 14 patients which corneal thickness was ≥500 μm underwent FS-LASIK surgery as FS-LASIK group.The demography was matched between the two groups (all at P＞0.05).All the patients were followed-up for 3 months after surgery.The preoperative best corrected distance visual acuity (BCDVA),spherical equivalent (SE),postoperative uncorrected distance visual acuity (UCDVA),BCDVA and SE were examined and compared between two groups.The parameters from OQAS were evaluated and intergrouply compared,including the objective scattering inders (OSI),modulation transfer function (MTF) cut off frequency,Strehl ratio and OQAS values under the contrast of 100％,20％ and 9％ (OV100,OV20,OV9).Results The postoperative BCDVA was not significantly different from preoperative UCDVA in both ICL group and FS-LASIK group (-0.04±t0.10 vs.0.05±0.12;-0.07±0.12 vs.0.00±0.12) (t=3.128,2.358,both at P＞0.05).No statistically significant differnces were found in SE,UCDVA and BCDVA after operation between ICL group and FS-LASIK group (t =1.292,0.900,-0.653,all at P＞0.05).OQAS examination showed that MTF cut off,OSI,Strehl ratio,OV100 were not significantly different after operation between ICL group and FS-LASIK group (t=-2.032,-1.440,-0.224,all at P＞0.05).The postoperative OV20 and OV9 were 0.82±0.14 and 0.80±0.21 in the ICL group,which were significantly higher than those in the FS-LASIK group(0.59±0.15 and 0.47±0.13) (t =4.105,4.702,both at P＜0.05).Conclusions Both ICL implantation and FS-LASIK provide good optical and visual quality for moderate to high myopic eyes,and ICL appears to have a better visual quality in comparison with FS-LASIK under the contrasts of 20％ and 9％.

Effectiveness and safety evaluation of low-dose carbachol application during implantable collamer lens implantation for myopic eyes / 中华实验眼科杂志

Background Carbachol solution (0.01％) is an agonist of M cholinoceptor and skeletal muscle N cholinoceptor,and it is used to play miotic effect and open peripheral iridectomic hole during the surgery of implantable collamer lens (ICL) implantation in order to lower intraocular pressure (IOP).However,the anterior chamber injection of 0.01％ carbachol solution often causes relevant complications,while whether lower dose of carbachol solution is effective and safe is unclear.Objective This study was to compare the effectiveness and safety between 0.01％ carbachol solution and 0.005％ carbachol solution after anterior chamber injection during the ICL implantation.Methods One hundred and fifty-two eyes of 76 cataract patients were included in Daping Hospital of Third Military Medical University from September 2014 to September 2015.ICL implantation and periphery iridectomy were carried out on both eyes of the patients and the 0.01％ carbachol solution was injected into the anterior chamber during the surgery of the right eyes and 0.01％ carbachol solution was used in the left eyes.The operation duration and IOP at postoperative 2 hours and systemic choline-like reaction were compared between 0.01％ carbachol solution group and 0.005％ carbachol solution group.Results The mean operation duration was (11.86± 2.39) minutes and (11.22 ± 1.85) minutes in the 0.01％ carbachol group and 0.005％ carbachol group,without significant difference between two groups (t =1.851,P =0.066).IOP was (15.76 ± 2.18) mmHg and (13.58 ±2.24)mmHg in the 0.01％ carbachol group before and after surgery,and those in the 0.005％ carbachol group was (15.70±2.35)mmHg and (13.12±2.17)mmHg,there was no significant difference in the IOP between the two concentrations of carbachol (Fsroup =0.986,P=O.322).The IOP at postoperative 2 hours was lower than that before operation,the difference was statistically significant(Ftime =97.339,P =0.000).There was no interaction between drug concentration and time (Fcorrelation =0.772,P =0.381).The incidences of complications,such as dizziness,nausea and vomiting,were lower in the 0.005％ carbachol group than those in the 0.01％ carbachol group (x2 =13.01,5.16,4.03,all at P＜0.05).Conclusions Carbachol solution (0.005％) can play intraoperative miosis effect and maintain effective operation duration in ICL implantation.In addition,the application of 0.005％ carbachol solution is quite safe in both intraoperation and postoperation.

Objective To investigate the effect of protection motivation intervention on patients with diabetic cataract after implantable collamer lens implantation. Methods A total of 118 diabetic cataract patients were divided into 2 groups (59 cases each) by random digits table method. The control group received routine ophthalmic nursing and the observation group was given protection motivation intervention based on the routine nursing. The change of the plasma glucose, postoperative visual acuity and the quality of life were evaluated. Results The blood glucose on the morning of the operation day and one day after operation in the observation group was (8.27±1.25) mmol/L, (9.52±2.44) mmol/L, which was significantly lower than that of the control group, (10.49 ± 1.48) mmol/L, (12.77 ± 3.36) mmol/L, the difference between the groups was statistically significant (t=-5.392,-6.755, P<0.01). After 1 month and 3 months, the vision of the observation group was 0.64±0.22, 0.67±0.30, which was higher than that of the control group 0.56± 0.18, 0.58 ± 0.20, in which the postoperative blindness or low vision rate was 3.95%(3 eyes) in the observation group, and 13.51%(10 eyes) in the control group(t/χ2=2.492, 2.209, 4.013,P<0.05). The quality of life in the observation group was 7.70±1.13 and 5.22±1.48 in the control group, there was statistical significance between the two groups(t=3.660, P < 0.05). Conclusions Application of protection motivation intervention on diabetic cataract patients can improve their postoperative vision and quality of life.

Hydrophilic acrylic intraocular lens：biocompatibility and complications following implantation / 中国组织工程研究

BACKGROUND:Hydrophilic acrylic materials with good biocompatibility have been widely used in clinic. However, there are some problems about the biocompatibility and safety of hydrophilic acrylic intraocular lens after long-term clinical application. OBJECTIVE:To discuss the biocompatibility and stability issues and corresponding processing methods after hydrophilic acrylic intraocular lens implantation. METHODS:A computer-based search of Wanfang and PubMed database was performed for articles related to clinical application of hydrophilic acrylic intraocular lens published from 2005 to 2014. The keywords were “hydrophilic acrylic,intraocular lens” in Chinese and English, respectively. A total of 618 articles were initialy retrieved, and finaly 35 articles were included in result analysis. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:As the hydrophilic acrylic intraocular lens is foldable, a smal incision is required for implantation and the operation is simple that cause less damage to the patients. In addition, the hydrophilic acrylic intraocular lens has poor bacterial and inflammatory cel adhesion, which leads to a low probability of infective endophthalmitis after implantation. But there is a high incidence of posterior capsule opacification as wel as some refractive errors and visual quality problems after implantation. Taken together, to solve these problems depends on the continuous improvements and updates of intraocular lens materials and designs.

Changes in the Accommodation-convergence Relationship after the Artisan Phakic Intraocular Lens Implantation for Myopic Patients

PURPOSE: To evaluate the change of accommodation-convergence parameters after implantation of Artisan phakic intraocular lens (PIOL). METHODS: Prospective study for the patients with the Artisan PIOL implantation was performed. A total of 37 patients (3 males and 34 females) enrolled the study. Preoperatively, convergence amplitude, the stimulus accommodative convergence per unit of accommodation (AC/A) ratio and the near point of convergence (NPC) were evaluated. After the Artisan PIOL implantation, the identical evaluations were repeated at 1 week, 1, 3, and 6 months after the surgery. RESULTS: Mean age was 24.3 +/- 4.8 years old, and preoperative refractive error was -8.92 +/- 4.13 diopters (D). After the implantation, mean refractive errors significantly decreased to within +/-1.00 D, and noticeable complications were not found. The convergence amplitude and the stimulus AC/A ratio increased 1 month after the surgery, but progressively stabilized afterward to near preoperative values. NPC didn't show any significant change over follow-up period up to 6 months. CONCLUSIONS: These results regarding implantation of the Artisan PIOL revealed the increase of accommodation-convergence relationship within first 1 month after the surgery, but progressive stabilization was noted during follow-up periods.

Comparison of Preoperative and Postoperative Ocular Biometry in Eyes with Phakic Intraocular Lens Implantations

PURPOSE: To compare preoperative and postoperative ocular biometry in patients with iris-fixated phakic intraocular lens (pIOLs): Artisan and Artiflex. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This study included 40 eyes with Artisan and 36 eyes with Artiflex pIOL implants. Anterior chamber depth (ACD) and axial length (AL) were measured by applanation ultrasonography (A-scan) and partial coherence interferometry (IOLMaster) preoperatively and 3 months after pIOL implantation. RESULTS: ACD measurements after Artisan or Artiflex pIOL implantation were smaller than preoperative measurements. Specifically, the difference after Artisan pIOL implantation was -1.07+/-0.17 mm by A-scan and -0.08+/-0.08 mm by IOLMaster. The difference after Artiflex pIOL implantation was -1.31+/-0.15 mm by A-scan and -0.05+/-0.07 mm by IOLMaster. After Artisan pIOL implantation, differences in AL measurements by A-scan were insignificant (difference: -0.03+/-0.15 mm), whereas postoperative AL measurements by IOLMaster were significantly longer than preoperative measurements (difference: 0.12+/-0.07 mm). After Artiflex pIOL implantation, AL measurements by both A-scan and IOLMaster were significantly longer than preoperative measurements (difference: 0.09+/-0.16 mm by A-scan and 0.07+/-0.10 mm by IOLMaster). In the Artiflex group, differences in AL measurements by A-scan correlated with the central thickness of the Artiflex pIOL. CONCLUSION: ACD and AL measurements were influenced by iris-fixated phakic IOL implantation.

Lentes fácicas de câmara anterior / Anterior chamber phakic lenses

Os implantes em olhos fácicos apresentam-se como uma opção para a correção de altas ametropias. De acordo com sua localização podem ser classificados como de câmara anterior ou posterior, sendo que os primeiros subdividem-se em fixação iriana ou de suporte angular. Além da correção da miopia, as lentes de fixação iriana apresentam modelos para hipermétropes e astigmatas. Várias modificações no desenho das lentes foram propostas nas últimas décadas com a finalidade de reduzir complicações tardias, como a perda endotelial progressiva. Cuidados no intraoperatório devem ser tomados de forma a diminuir a perda endotelial aguda relacionada ao trauma. Avanços nos métodos de triagem pré-operatória também melhoraram a segurança do procedimento. A estimativa do poder dióptrico é baseada nos cálculos de Van der Heijde, sendo dependente da profundidade de câmara anterior, do equivalente esférico da refração e da média ceratométrica. Resultados a longo prazo demonstram a eficácia, previsibilidade e segurança do procedimento. Dependendo do modelo, além da possibilidade de perda endotelial, outras possíveis complicações incluem: irite, dispersão pigmentar, atrofia de íris, ovalização pupilar, rotação, descentração ou deslocamento da lente, hipertensão ocular e bloqueio pupilar. Modelos dobráveis atualmente disponíveis vêm apresentado resultados bastante promissores com redução da taxa de complicações.

The phakic intraocular lenses (pIOLs) are a good option for the correction of high refractive errors. According to their anatomical position there are two types of pIOLs: anterior or posterior chamber. The anterior chamber pIOL may be iris-fixated or angle-supported. The iris-fixated pIOLs are available not only for myopia correction, but also for hyperopia and astigmatism. During the last decades many modifications on the pIOLs designs were proposed in order to reduce late complications, such as progressive endothelial cell loss. Acute endothelial cell trauma related to the surgical procedure may be minimized with proper intraoperative care. Advances in the preoperative screening methods have improved the safety of the procedure. Estimation of the pIOL power is based on the van der Heijde calculations and is dependent on the anterior chamber depth, the spherical equivalent and the mean keratometric values. Long-term results show the efficacy, predictability and safety of the procedure. According to the type of the pIOL, complications other than endothelial cell loss include iritis, pigment dispersion, iris atrophy, pupil ovalization, pIOL rotation, decentration or dislocation, intraocular pressure elevation and pupillary block glaucoma. Foldable models actually available show promising results with lower complication rate.
