RÉSUMÉ
The global prevalence of myopia is increasing year by year, leading to many ocular health issues and social problems. In recent years, it has been confirmed that peripheral defocus is closely related to the occurrence and development of myopia. Alteration of the state of peripheral defocus can significantly influence the progression of myopia and emmetropization, but the exact mechanisms are still unclear. At present, there is no method that can completely control myopia. Nowadays, the main controlling methods, including orthokeratology lens, peripheral defocus lens and multi-focal soft lens, have been confirmed to be closely related to peripheral defocus. In this paper, we will review and summarize the development and effect of these peripheral defocus relating control methods. In addition, the researches on the related mechanisms of peripheral retinal defocus and myopia prevention and control at home and abroad are reviewed, as well as the potential mechanisms of peripheral defocus, with a view to further improving the controlling effects of existing methods, developing new prevention and control methods and reducing the incidence and progression of myopia.

AIM: To explore the clinical effect of small incision lenticule extraction(SMILE)on the treatment of myopic anisometropia.METHODS: Clinical data of 76 patients(146 eyes)with myopic anisometropia who received SMILE or femtosecond assisted laser in situ keratomileusis(FS-LASIK)in our hospital from January 2021 to December 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. The patients were divided into SMILE group(39 cases, 77 eyes)and FS-LASIK group(37 cases, 69 eyes)according to surgical methods. Uncorrected visual acuity(UCVA), diopter, anisometropia, corneal aberration and occurrence of postoperative complications were compared between the two groups at 1 wk, 1 and 3 mo after surgery.RESULTS: The UCVA of the two groups was improved after surgery compared with that before surgery, and the coma, trefoil, spherical aberration and total higher-order aberration were significantly increased compared to those before surgery(P<0.05), and the coma, trefoil, spherical aberration and total higher-order aberration in the FS-LASIK group were significantly higher than those in the SMILE group(P<0.05). After follow-up to 3 mo after surgery, the incidence of postoperative complications was significantly lower in the SMILE group than that in the FS-LASIK group(5.2% vs 15.9%, P<0.05).CONCLUSION: Both SMILE and FS-LASIK can effectively enhance the UCVA and improve the visual quality in patients with myopic anisometropia, but SMILE has lower corneal higher order aberrations, lower incidence of postoperative complications and better overall effect.

AIM: To evaluate the diopter errors and safety of secondary intraocular lens(IOL)implantation in the ciliary sulcus using a modified incision procedure in children with bilateral aphakia.METHODS: The data of 12 children(24 eyes)with bilateral aphakia who had undergone secondary foldable IOL implantation in the ciliary sulcus using a modified incision procedure from 2020 to 2021 were retrospectively reviewed. Incision-related complications were analyzed intraoperatively and at 1 d and 1 mo postoperatively. Best-corrected visual acuity(BCVA), axial length(AL), white-to-white(WTW), and refractive outcomes in terms of preoperative reserved diopters(PRD)and actual equivalent spherical diopters(AESD). The patients were divided into two groups by age(≤7 and >7 a), AL(<23 and ≥23 mm)and WTW(≤11.5 and >11.5mm), and the diopter errors between their AESD and PRD predicted based on the measurement results were compared.RESULTS: The patients comprised 9(75%)boys and 3(25%)girls. Two(17%)patients had anterior subcapsular cataracts, 4(33%)had posterior polar cataracts, and 6(50%)had nuclear cataracts. The mean age at cataract extraction was 6.4±1.61(3.4-8.9)mo. The mean interval between cataract extraction and secondary IOL implantation was 6.8±1.82(4.4-11.5)a. The mean preoperative BCVA was 0.49±0.33(1.0-0.1)LogMAR. The mean postoperative BCVA was 0.38±0.32(1.0-0.0)LogMAR. The mean AL was 23.56±1.96(19.00-26.38)mm, and the mean WTW was 11.5±0.92(9.3-13.9)mm. The mean PRD was 1.57±0.60(0.73-2.77)D, the mean AESD was 0.57±0.55(-0.50 to 1.75)D, and the mean difference between the AESD and PRD was -0.99±0.52(-2.22 to 0.32)D. The differences in the AESD and PRD between the groups according to age, AL and WTW were not statistically significant(P=0.59, 0.56, and 0.53, respectively).CONCLUSION: IOL implantation in the ciliary sulcus after a modified incision is safe and feasible for children with aphakia. It is necessary to subtract approximately 1 D of IOL power from the formula-selected power when implanting an IOL in the ciliary sulcus. Age, AL, and WTW do not significantly affect the difference.

@#With the formation of an aging society, cataract caused by age has become a public common concern about health problem all over the world. Surgery by intraocular lens replacement is the only effective mean to treat cataract. The most important thing to treat cataract is accurately calculating the intraocular lens diopter. However, some patients did not feel satisfied because the error of calculation of intraocular lens diopter. With big data analysis and self-learning, artificial intelligence can deeply analyze and autonomously decide on complex clinical data. Therefore, this technology is expected to improve the calculation accuracy of intraocular lens diopter, to reduce postoperative refractive error and to improve patients' satisfaction. By referring to relevant literature at domestic and abroad, this paper is aimed to introduce the basic principle of artificial intelligence in intraocular lens diopter calculation, analyze and compare the characteristics, advantages and limitations of artificial intelligence based on different principles.

Objective:To evaluate the effect of peripheral defocus soft contact lenses (PDSCLs), single-vision spectacles and single-vision contact lenses (SVCLs) on the progression of myopia in children and adolescents.Methods:A meta-analysis was conducted.To collect relevant studies on the myopia control effect of PDSCLs in children, English databases including PubMed, Medline, Embase and Cochrane library were searched with myopia, contact lens, children, adolescents, myopia progression, axial length, refractive error and relevant free English terms as key words.Chinese databases including CNKI, Wanfang and VIP were searched with corresponding Chinese phrases and relevant free Chinese terms as key words.Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) on the myopia control effect in children and adolescents, with PDSCLs wearer as experimental group and single-vision spectacles or SVCLs wearer as control group, were independently collected by two researchers.Quality of included studies was evaluated with the Cochrane tool to assess risk of bias for RCTs.Combined effects of change in refraction and axial length between experimental and control groups was calculated by weighted mean difference (WMD) and 95%confidence interval ( CI). The heterogeneity of included studies was evaluated by I2 statistic.The refraction and axial length of experimental and control groups were compared by Z test.Myopia control effect of different PDSCLs add powers was analyzed by subgroup analysis.The experimental data with add power ≤+ 2.00 D, low aberration and low depth of focus were assigned to low-medium add power subgroup, and the experimental data with add power >+ 2.00 D, high aberration and high depth of focus were assigned to high add power subgroup. Results:A total of 378 publications were retrieved.Finally, 10 high-quality RCTs and 14 groups of data were included in this meta-analysis.In these studies, 1 645 myopic children aged from 6 to 18 years were enrolled, including 808 cases in experimental group and 837 in control group.The follow-up ranged from 10 to 36 months.Among the 10 studies, there were two crossover trials without a washout period, so only the first intervention results were included.According to the meta-analysis, the change in refraction in experimental group was significantly less than that in control group (WMD=0.22 D, 95% CI: 0.15-0.30, Z=5.65; P<0.05). The change in axial elongation was significantly less in experimental group than control group (WMD=-0.10 mm, 95% CI: -0.12--0.09, Z=12.28; P<0.05). Subgroup analysis showed that the WMD of refraction change and axial elongation between experimental and control groups were 0.21 D (95% CI: 0.10-0.31) and-0.10 mm (95% CI: -0.13-0.08) in the low-medium add power subgroup, respectively, and were 0.26 D (95% CI: 0.13-0.38) and -0.13 mm (95% CI: -0.15--0.10) in the high add power subgroup, respectively. Conclusions:PDSCLs have better myopia control effect than single-vision spectacles and SVCLs in children and adolescents.When the add power is higher, PDSCLs can slow the progression of myopia more effectively.

Objective:To investigate the efficacy and safety of Xiatianwu eye drops in the treatment of pseudomyopia in children. Methods:A total of 8 000 children with pseudomyopia who received treatment in Jiaxing Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine between June 2018 and June 2019 were included in this study. They were randomly assigned to receive treatment with either raceanisodamine eye drops (control group, n = 4 000) or Xiatianwu eye drops combined with raceanisodamine eye drops (observation group, n = 4 000) for 30 successive days (1 treatment course). The uncorrected visual acuity and diopter in each group were detected by an 'E' chart and optometry. Axial eye length and intraocular pressure in each group were measured using an ophthalmic A/B ultrasound scanner and a non-contact tonometer to assess the therapeutic effects. The incidence of adverse reactions during the treatment period was calculated. Results:After 30 days of treatment, the uncorrected visual acuity in the observation group was significantly higher than that in the control group [(0.88 ± 0.33) vs. (0.81 ± 0.29), t = 10.077, P < 0.001]. The diopter in the observation group was significantly lower than that in the control group [(-0.99 ± 0.36) D vs. (-1.07 ± 0.39) D, t = 9.533, P < 0.001]. Total effective rate in the observation group was significantly higher than that in the control group (91.10% vs. 88.18%, χ2 = 18.422, P < 0.001). There were no significant differences in the axial eye length, intraocular pressure and the incidence of adverse reactions between the two groups (all P > 0.05). Conclusion:Xiatianwu eye drops combined with raceanisodamine eye drops in the treatment of pseudomyopia in children can improve uncorrected visual acuity, increase therapeutic effects, and does not increase the incidence of adverse reactions.

@#AIM:To find out the prevalence of myopia among children and teenagers aged from 3 to 18 years in Qingyang District of Chengdu, and to provide evidence for the prevention and control of myopia. <p>METHODS: A cross-sectional study was designed. A total of 72 270 students, including 37 278 males(51.58%)and 34 992 females(48.42%), aged from 3 to 18 years old were screened in 38 schools in Qingyang District of Chengdu from October 2019 to January 2020, with an average age of(10.22±3.22)years old. The incidence of myopia, high myopia, anisometropia, refractive status and axial development were analyzed. <p>RESULTS: The incidence of myopia is 57.50%, high myopia 3.33%, moderate anisometropia 9.80%, and high anisometropia 4.24%. The age group between two adjacent two comparison: the myopia prevalence of 6-14 years old difference was statistically significant(all <i>P</i><0.0033), high myopia incidence between 9-14 and 15-16 difference was statistically significant(all <i>P</i><0.0033), the incidence of moderate anisometropia 7-11, 12 and 13 years old(all <i>P</i><0.0033), high incidence of anisometropia, 5 and 6, and 8-12 years old(all <i>P</i><0.0033). Axial length: the axial length of the right eye(23.658±1.258)mm, the left eye(23.611±1.246)mm, and the axial length of the left and right eyes between 5 and 18 years old showed statistical differences(all <i>P</i><0.05), and the axial length of the right eye was longer than that of the left eye. The axial length of emmetropia and myopia of the eyes(take the right eye)in the same age group was statistically significant between the ages of 6 and 18(all <i>P</i><0.01). The relationship between the refractive state and the axial length(right eye analysis): with the increase of age, the axial length increased, and the refractive index of the equivalent spherical mirror of hyperopia decreased gradually, and myopia increased gradually after emmetropia. The mean value of the equivalent spherical mirror(SE)was positive between 3-6 years old. From the age of 7, the mean value of SE turned to a negative value, presenting a myopic change, and the axial length was 22.923±0.759mm. Under different refractive conditions, the axial length was hyperopia as 22.489±0.853mm, and the emmetropia as 23.023±0.802mm, low myopia as 23.860±0.965mm, moderative myopia as 25.137±0.929mm, and high myopia as 26.252±1.040mm. <p>CONCLUSION: Compared with the past, the prevalence of myopia and the incidence of high myopia are on the rise. Prevention of myopia before the age of 7, and prevention of the development of high myopia should start at the age of 10. It is suggested that good eye hygiene habits should be formed before the age of 8 to prevent the occurrence and development of moderate and high refractive errors. Myopia changes at the age of 7, and myopia is more likely to occur in the right eye. We can predict the trend of myopia by axial length at different ages, and also assess the severity of myopia by axial length.

@#AIM: To observe the high-order aberrations, diopters, ocular structural parameters and their correlation in adolescents with high myopia.<p>METHODS: Cross sectional study. Totally 116 adolescent high myopia patients(116 eyes)were selected from the Center of Optometry of the First Affiliated Hospital of Harbin Medical University on July 9, 2019. The axial length and intraocular pressure were measured. The high-order aberrations(RMSg, RMSh, Z22, Z33, Z31,Z40,RMS3-RMS7), corneal curvature(minimum K1, maximum K2, average km), central cornea thickness(CCT), anterior chamber depth(ACD)and anterior chamber angle(ACA)were measured with Sirius three-dimensional anterior segment analyzer. The correlation between the above eye parameters was analyzed.<p>RESULTS: There was a significant negative correlation between diopter and axial length(<i>r</i>= -0.400, <i>P</i><0.001); a positive correlation between axial length and anterior chamber depth(<i>r</i>= 0.433, <i>P</i><0.05), a negative correlation between axial length and corneal curvature(K1, K2, Km)(<i>P</i><0.05); a negative correlation between total higher-order aberrations and diopter(<i>r</i>=-0.189, <i>P</i><0.05), which was negatively correlated with the axial length(<i>r</i>=-0.228, <i>P</i><0.05). There was no correlation between the higher-order aberrations and the sphericity(<i>P</i>>0.05), Z40 was positively correlated with the corneal curvature(K1, K2, Km)(<i>P</i><0.05), and no correlation between higher-order aberrations and CCT, ACD, ACA was found.<p>CONCLUSION: With the increase of myopia degree, the axial length and total higher-order aberrations of adolescent high myopia increase, and the total higher-order aberrations are negatively correlated with the axial length. The increase of axial length may be a compensatory way to reduce the high-order aberrations and promote the development of myopia.

@#AIM: To explore the correlation between plasma insulin level and refractive development.<p>METHODS: Collected 293 adolescents aged 11-12 who were examined in our hospital from January to June 2019.According to the refractive power, they were divided into emmetropia group(76 cases), low and moderate myopia group(144 cases), high myopia group(35 cases), and hyperopia group(38 cases). Measure and compare the plasma insulin and related indexes(blood sugar, glycosylated hemoglobin, C-peptide levels)of the four groups of subjects on an empty stomach and 2h after a meal. Person correlation was used to analyze the correlation between plasma insulin and its related indexes and diopter. The receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve was used to explore the diagnostic value of plasma insulin levels for refractive dysplasia.<p>RESULTS: The average levels of insulin, blood glucose, glycosylated hemoglobin, and C-peptide in the low and moderate myopia group and the high myopia group on an empty stomach or 2h after a meal were higher than those in the emmetropia group and the hyperopia group. The levels of insulin, blood sugar and glycosylated hemoglobin in the high myopia group were higher than those in the low and moderate myopia group(all<i> P</i><0.01). Plasma insulin, blood glucose, glycosylated hemoglobin, and C peptide levels were negatively correlated with diopter 2h after a meal(<i>r</i>=-0.691, -0.756, -0.546, -0.311, all <i>P</i><0.05). The ROC curve showed that the cut-off value of plasma insulin level 2h after meal for identifying refractive errors was 0.367, the maximum area under the curve was 0.708(<i>P</i><0.001, 95% <i>CI</i>: 0.576-0.840), the sensitivity was 63%, and the specificity was 73.7%.<p>CONCLUSION: Elevated plasma insulin level may affect refractive development, the higher the level, the higher the degree of myopia. Therefore, regular high-glycemic carbohydrate diets during the growth period may lead to the development of refractive errors and permanent visual impairment.

Objective To investigate the effects of amphiregulin antibody on the axial length,diopter and posterior sclera thickness in eyes of bilateral lens-induced myopic guinea pigs.Methods A total of 60 healthy three-colored short-hair guinea pigs were randomly divided into 5 groups:myopic model group,low dose group,medium dose group,high dose group and normal control group,12 rats in each group,and both eyes of the guinea pigs in the former four groups were induced by-10 D lens,while the normal group did not make any treatment.After wearing of goggles for 2 weeks,the right eyes of guinea pigs were intravitreally administrated with 5 μg,10 μg,20 μg anphiregulin antibody for the low,medium and high dose group,respectively.At the same time,the left eyes of these groups were given the same dose of Ringer' s buffer (buffer group).Continuous wearing of the lenses before and after injection of antibody was allowed.Diopter and axial length of guinea pigs were measured before wearing of the lenses,2 weeks after wearing lenses and 5 weeks after the experiment (after 3-times injections of antibody).Moreover,the thicknesses of retina,choroid and sclera in the posterior pole were detected by PAS staining.Finally,the expression of amphiregulin and EGFR mRNA and protein was detected by real time quantitative PCR and immunofluorescence.Results After 2 weeks of lens induction,the axial length of the myopic model group increased,but the diopter decreased when compared with the normal control group,and the differences were statistically significant (both P ＜ 0.05).Compared with the buffer group,after intravitreal injection of amphiregulin antibody,the axial length in the low,medium,and high dose groups decreased,while the diopter increased,and the scleral thickness at the posterior pole increased significantly in a dose-dependent manner,with statistically significant differences (all P ＜ 0.05).However,there was no significant change in retinal thickness at the posterior pole of all groups.Real-time quantitative PCR and immunofluorescence showed the expression of amphiregulin mRNA and protein in the retina was upregulated the myopic model group and buffer group,but downregulated in the high,medium,and low dose groups.Furthermore,when compared with the buffer group,the expression level of epidermal growth factor receptor in the retina of the low dose group was decreased (t =2.606,P =0.022),but there was no significant difference in the other groups.Conclusion After injection of amphiregulin antibody into the eyes of bilateral lens-induced myopic guinea pigs,the diopter increases,but the axial length is significantly shortened,and the posterior sclera is thickened,which may involve a decrease in the expression of amphiregulin.

@#AIM: To explore the effects of overnight orthokeratology lens and conventional frame glasses on the myopic diopter, uncorrected visual acuity and ocular parameters of myopia adolescent. <p>METHODS: Totally 102 cases of(204 eyes)of adolescent myopia patients were randomly divided into observation group and control group with 51 cases(102 eyes)in each group during April 2014 to April 2017. Control group was only given conventional frame glasses, and observation group was given overnight orthokeratology lens. The myopic diopter and uncorrected visual acuity(UCVA)before wearing glasses and at 1wk, 1, 3, 6mo and 1a of wearing glasses, and the ocular parameters before wearing glasses and at 1a after wearing glasses were observed in the two groups, and the occurrence of complications was compared between the two groups. <p>RESULTS: After 1wk to 1a of wearing glasses, the myopic diopter in observation group was gradually decreased(<i>P</i><0.05), and there was no significant difference in control group(<i>P</i>>0.05), but there was statistically significant difference between-groups at different time points(<i>P</i><0.05). After 1wk to 1a of wearing glasses, the UCVA in observation group showed a increasing tendency(<i>P</i><0.05), and the UCVA in observation group after 6mo to 1a of wearing glasses was significantly higher than that in control group(<i>P</i><0.05). At 1a after wearing glasses, the axial length, corneal endothelial cell density, central anterior chamber depth, and intraocular pressure in observation group were not significantly different from those before wearing glasses(<i>P</i>>0.05), and the axial length in control group was significantly longer than that before wearing glasses and that in observation group(<i>P</i><0.05). The total incidence rates of complications in observation group and control group were 10.8% and 6.9% respectively(<i>P</i>>0.05).<p>CONCLUSION: Overnight orthokeratology lens for adolescent myopia can effectively correct the myopic diopter, and improve the uncorrected visual acuity. It is less harmful to the eyes and less complications, and it is safe and reliable in clinical application.
