RESUMEN
PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to compare the tilt and decentration of one-piece anti-vaulting haptic intraocular lenses (IOL) and three-piece C-loop haptic IOLs in paediatric eyes undergoing secondary IOL implantation into the ciliary sulcus. METHODS: Paediatric aphakic patients receiving either one-piece anti-vaulting haptic or three-piece C-loop haptic IOL implants into the ciliary sulcus were enrolled in this prospective non-randomized interventional study and followed up for 3 years. IOL decentration and tilt were measured using Scheimpflug images. Preoperative and postoperative information, including demographic data and ocular biometric parameters and complications, were collected and analysed. RESULTS: Among 123 eyes of 79 paediatric patients, there were 72 eyes (58.54%) in the anti-vaulting haptic IOL group and 51 eyes (41.46%) in the C-loop haptic group. The anti-vaulting haptic IOL group had a lower incidence of clinically significant vertical IOL decentration than the C-loop haptic IOL group (23.88% vs. 43.14%, p = 0.037). No intergroup differences were observed in vertical or horizontal tilt or in horizontal decentration (all p > 0.05). One-piece anti-vaulting haptic IOL implantation was associated with a lower risk of clinically significant vertical decentration than three-piece C-loop haptic IOL implantation (odds ratio: 0.42, p = 0.037). There was a higher incidence of IOL dislocation in the C-loop haptic IOL group (15.22% vs. 4.17%, p = 0.046). CONCLUSIONS: In paediatric aphakic eyes undergoing secondary IOL implantation into the ciliary sulcus, one-piece anti-vaulting haptic IOLs can reduce the risk of clinically significant vertical IOL decentration compared with three-piece C-loop haptic IOLs and may favour long-term IOL positional stability.

Persistent idiopathic macular hole (PIMH), the occurrence of idiopathic macular holes that have failed to close after standard pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) with internal limiting membrane (ILM) peeling, has become a global health threat to the aging population. Because postoperative anatomic closure or restoration of visual acuity is more difficult to achieve in PIMH, surgical approaches that would yield the best outcomes remain to be elucidated. On paper, extended ILM peeling combined with silicone oil (SiO) tamponade is believed to be a feasible option for excellent macular hole closure. However, no studies on this combined treatment for PIMH is compared with simple air tamponade have been conducted. Thus, in this retrospective case series, we used spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) and other technologies to investigate real-world evidence for the anatomical and functional outcomes of revisional PPV with either SiO or air tamponade for failed primary idiopathic macular hole surgery. We included the records of 76 patients with PIMH who had SD-OCT examinations and best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA). Regression analysis was performed to find factors affecting PIMH fracture closure. Seventy-six participants were allocated to a SiO group (n = 21, with an extended ILM peeling and SiO tamponade) or an air group (n = 55, with extended ILM peeling and air tamponade). Anatomical success was achieved in 18 (85.7%) and 40 (72.7%) eyes in the SiO and air groups, respectively (p = 0.37). BCVA was significantly improved in both subgroups of closed PIMH (SiO group: p = 0.041; air group: p < 0.001). Minimum linear diameter (MLD) was closely related to the closure rate (OR, 1.0; 95% CI (0.985-0.999); p = 0.03). MLD = 650 µm seemed like a cut-off point for closure rate (MLD ≤ 650 µm vs. MLD > 650 µm; 88.4% vs. 52%, p = 0.002). In conclusion, we demonstrated that extended ILM peeling combined with SiO or air tamponade is effective in PIMH treatment. Moreover, though not statistically significant herein, the anatomic closure rate was better for silicone-operated eyes than for air-operated eyes. MLD is the best predictor of PIMH closure; MLD ≤ 650 µm could achieve a significantly higher closure rate.
RESUMEN
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to determine the influence of serum uric acid (UA) on macular choroidal and ganglion cell inner plexiform layer (GC-IPL) thickness. Methods: This cross-sectional study enrolled adult individuals in communities in Guangzhou, China. All participants underwent a comprehensive ophthalmologic examination. They were divided into four groups according to UA quartiles. The choroidal and GC-IPL thickness was measured by swept-source optical coherence tomography (SS-OCT). Results: A total of 719 subjects (1389 eyes) were included in the study. The average UA was 348.50 ± 86.16 mmol/L. The average choroidal and GC-IPL thickness decreased with UA quartiles (P < 0.001). Multivariate linear regression analyses showed that UA was negatively associated with average choroidal (ß = -0.073, 95% confidence interval [CI] = -0.117 to -0.028, P = 0.001) and GC-IPL thickness (ß = -0.006, 95% CI = -0.009 to -0.002, P = 0.001). After adjusting for confounding factors, the average choroidal thickness was decreased in quartile 4 as compared with quartile 1 by -14.737 µm (95% CI = -24.460 to -5.015, P = 0.003). The average GC-IPL thickness was decreased in quartile 4 versus quartile 1 by -1.028 (95% CI = -1.873 to -0.290, P = 0.007). Conclusions: Higher UA levels were independently associated with macular choroid and GC-IPL thinning. These contribute to a better understanding of ocular pathological mechanisms. Translational Relevance: The associated UA with choroidal and GC-IPL thickness helps to understand the ocular pathological and retinal neurodegenerative mechanism.

PURPOSE: The incidence and risk factors for diabetic retinopathy (DR) in southern China remain unclear. This project aims to explore the onset and progression of DR and their determinants through a prospective cohort in South China. METHODS: The Guangzhou Diabetic Eye Study (GDES) recruited patients with type 2 diabetic registered in the community health centers in Guangzhou, China. Comprehensive examinations were performed including visual acuity, refraction, ocular biometry, fundus imaging, blood and urine tests. RESULTS: A total of 2305 eligible patients were included in the final analysis. In total, 14.58% of the participants had any DR and 4.25% had vision-threatening DR (VTDR), among which 76 (3.30%), 197 (8.55%), 45 (1.95%) and 17 (0.74%) were classified as mild NPDR, moderate NPDR, severe NPDR and PDR, respectively. There were 93 (4.03%) patients with diabetic macular edema (DME). The presence of any DR was independently associated with a longer duration of DM, higher degree of HbA1c, insulin treatment, higher average arterial pressure, higher concentration of serum creatinine, presence of urinary microalbumin, older age, and lower body mass index (BMI) (all p < 0.001). For VTDR, seven factors were significant: older age, a longer duration of DM, higher concentration of HbA1c, use of insulin, lower BMI, higher concentration of serum creatinine, and high albuminuria (all p < 0.05). These factors were also independently associated with DME (all p < 0.001). CONCLUSION: The GDES is the first large-scale prospective cohort study of the diabetic population in southern China, which will help to identify novel imaging and genetic biomarkers for DR in this population.

BACKGROUND: To evaluate the risk of AAC and intraocular pressure (IOP) changes in diabetic patients after pupil dilation. METHODS: This cross-sectional study enrolled 2,287 diabetic patients among community residents in Guangzhou, China. All participants underwent routine pupil dilation unless they had a history of glaucoma. IOP was measured using a non-contact tonometer before and one hour after pupil dilation with tropicamide 0.5% and phenylephrine 0.5% eye drop. The proportion of AAC and changes in IOP after pupil dilation were evaluated. RESULTS: Only one of the 2,287 participants (0.04%) with diabetes developed post-dilation AAC. The mean pre and post-dilation IOP in the right was 16.1 ± 2.7 and 16.5 ± 2.8 mmHg (P < 0.001); mean pre and post-dilation IOP in the left was 16.5 ± 2.7 and 16.8 ± 2.8 mmHg (P < 0.001). Sixty-one participants (2.7%) showed an increase in IOP ≥ 5 mmHg and 25 participants (1.1%) showed a post-dilation IOP > 25 mmHg, including 11 participants (0.5%) who had both an increase in IOP ≥ 5 mmHg and post-dilation IOP > 25 mmHg. Lower pre-dilation IOP (OR = 0.827; 95% CI, 0.742-0.922; P = 0.001) and shallower anterior chamber depth (ACD) (OR = 0.226; 95% CI, 0.088-0.585; P = 0.002) were significant risk factors for an increase in IOP ≥ 5 mmHg in multivariate logistic regression analysis. CONCLUSIONS: The risk of developing AAC after pupil dilation in diabetic patients was very low. Lower pre-dilation IOP and shallower ACD are risk factors for increased post-dilation IOP.

PURPOSE: To investigate the association of body mass index (BMI) and waist-to-hip ratio (WHR) with macular vessel density (VD) and foveal avascular zone (FAZ), using optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA), in healthy Chinese adults. DESIGN: Cross-sectional study. METHODS: A total of 1555 Chinese adults aged ≥ 50 years with no history of ocular disease were recruited from communities in Guangzhou, China. The OCTA was performed with a 6 × 6 mm macular angiography model. The FAZ of the superficial capillary plexus (SCP), and VD of SCP and deep capillary plexus (DCP) were calculated. Univariable and multivariable linear regression analyses were used to evaluate the effect of BMI and WHR on VD and FAZ. RESULTS: The VD of the SCP increased as BMI increased, with average measurements of 39.30 ± 2.14 for normal, 39.52 ± 2.07 for overweight, and 39.76 ± 2.03 for obesity (P = .001). The VD of the DCP also increased with increasing BMI (P = .009). Multiple regression models confirmed a positive association between generalized obesity and superficial VD in the whole image (ß = 0.350, P = .008), inner circle (ß = 0.431, P = .032), and outer circle (ß = 0.368, P = .005). After adjusting for confounders, tertile 3 of the WHR level was positively associated with superficial VD (ß = 0.472, P = .033) and deep VD (ß = 0.422, P = .034) only in the inner circle. CONCLUSIONS: Generalized obesity was associated with increased superficial VD, while abdominal obesity was associated with increased superficial and deep VD only in the inner circle. Different manifestations of the retinal microvasculature may reflect distinct roles of body composition on macular vessel alterations and disease occurrence.

OBJECTIVES: To investigate the associations of renal function with diabetic retinopathy (DR) and diabetic macular oedema (DMO) in diabetic patients. METHODS: A total of 1877 diabetic participants aged 30 to 80 years were consecutively recruited between October 2017 and April 2019. The presence of DR, vision-threatening DR (VTDR) and DMO were graded using seven-field fundus photographs. Renal function was defined as normal, mildly impaired or indicative of chronic kidney disease (CKD) based on different estimated glomerular filtration rates (GFR). RESULTS: In the multivariable logistic regression model, decreased GFR was associated with the presence of any DR only in the presence of microalbuminuria (OR = 2.40 for mildly impaired and 3.37 for CKD, all P < 0.05), while an impaired GFR was an independent risk factor for VTDR regardless of microalbuminuria status (all P < 0.05). The risks of any DR (OR = 1.74 for quartile 2 and 3.09 for quartile 4) and VTDR (OR = 3.27 for quartile 2 and 6.41 for quartile 4) increased gradually along with microalbuminuria quartile (all P < 0.05). CKD (OR = 3.07, P = 0.012) and high microalbuminuria (OR = 3.22 for quartile 3 and 5.25 for quartile 4, all P < 0.05) were independent DMO risk factors. CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE: There is a strong association between GFR and VTDR, whereas the association between GFR and any DR was significant only under the premise of microalbuminuria. High microalbuminuria and CKD were significantly associated with DMO.

Purpose: This study investigated the association of retinal fractal dimension (FD) and blood vessel tortuosity (BVT) with renal function [assessed by estimated glomerular filtrate rate (eGFR)] in healthy Chinese adults using swept-source optical coherence tomographic angiography (SS-OCTA). Materials and methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted among ocular treatment-naïve healthy participants from Guangzhou, China. FD and BVT in the superficial capillary plexus and deep capillary plexus were measured by SS-OCTA with a 3 × 3 macula model. eGFR was calculated using the Xiangya equation, and impaired renal function (IRF) was defined as eGFR = 90 mL/min/1.73 m2. Linear regression was performed to evaluate the relationships between SS-OCTA metrics and renal function. Results: A total of 729 participants with a mean age of 57.6 ± 9.1 years were included in the final analysis. Compared to participants with normal renal function, those with IRF had lower FD both in the superficial capillary plexus (1.658 ± 0.029 vs. 1.666 ± 0.024, p = 0.001) and deep capillary plexus (1.741 ± 0.016 vs. 1.746 ± 0.016, p = 0.0003), while the deep BVT was larger in participants with IRF than those with normal renal function (1.007 ± 0.002 vs. 1.006 ± 0.002, p = 0.028). The superficial FD was linearly and positively associated with eGFR after adjusting for confounders (ß = 0.2257; 95% CI 0.0829-0.3685; p = 0.002), while BVT was not associated with eGFR (all p ≥ 0.05). Conclusion: The patients with IRF had lower FD and larger BVT than those with normal renal function. The superficial FD decreased linearly with renal function deterioration. Our study suggests that the retinal microvasculature can represent a useful indicator of subclinical renal microvascular abnormalities and serve as a useful non-invasive assessment to predict and monitor the progression of renal function.
RESUMEN
Purpose: To explore the relationship between serum uric acid (SUA) and retinochoroidal microcirculation in the Chinese population. Methods: This prospective cross-sectional study was conducted among the residents of Guangzhou, southern China. A commercially available optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) device was used to obtain the superficial vessel density (SVD) and deep vessel density in the retina and the choriocapillaris flow deficit (CFD) in the macular region. Univariable and multivariable linear regression models were used to assess the association of hyperuricemia and SUA levels with OCTA parameters. Results: A total of 638 participants with normal SUA and 296 participants with hyperuricemia were included in the study. Parafoveal SVD was significantly reduced among the participants with hyperuricemia compared to participants with normal SUA (P < 0.001), while the parafoveal CFD was higher in hyperuricemic participants than those of normal SUA levels (P = 0.007). After adjusting for potential confounders, greater SUA levels was associated with lower SVD (ß = -0.078; P < 0.001) and greater CFD (ß = 0.015; P = 0.011). Gender difference analysis indicated that a 10-µmol/L increase in SUA levels among the female participants led to a 0.144 decrease in SVD (P < 0.001), but it was not statistically significant for the male participants (P = 0.653). Conclusions: An elevated uric acid level and its fluctuations were independently associated with impaired retinal and choroidal microcirculation using OCTA in the study population. Women appear to be more sensitive to high SUA levels than men. Translational Relevance: Elevating uric acid concentration may play a role in the development and progression of cardiovascular diseases through microvascular alteration, as demonstrated by OCTA parameters.

PURPOSE: To examine the associations of peripapillary microvascular metrics with diabetic retinopathy (DR) incidence and development using swept-source optical coherence tomography angiography (SS-OCTA). DESIGN: Prospective cohort study. METHODS: A total of 1033 eyes from 1033 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) were included, with 2-year follow-up. The peripapillary microvascular metrics at the superficial capillary plexus (SCP) were measured by SS-OCTA at the baseline, including peripapillary vascular density (pVD) and peripapillary vascular length density (pVLD). The DR incidence and progression were evaluated with 7 standard fields of stereoscopic color fundus photographs. The associations were tested with logistic regression models after adjusting for established risk factors and confounding factors. The prediction value of OCTA metrics was examined with the elevation of area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUROC). RESULTS: The 2-year incidence of diabetic retinopathy (DR) was 25.1% (n = 222) in non-DR (NDR) eyes, 7.4% DR progression (n = 11) in DR eyes, and 4.17% RDR eyes (n = 43) in all eyes. After adjusting for established factors, lower whole-image pVD (wi-pVD) (relative risk [RR] = 0.81; 95% CI = 0.68-0.96; P = .015), circular pVD (circ-pVD) (RR = 0.79; 95% CI = 0.66-0.95; P = .013), whole-image pVLD (wi-pVLD) (RR = 0.79; 95% CI = 0.67-0.94; P = .008), and circular pVLD (circ-pVLD) (RR = 0.76; 95% CI = 0.63-0.91; P = .003) were significantly associated with increased risk of DR incidence; wi-pVD (RR = 0.48; 95% CI = 0.35-0.67; P < .001), circ-pVD (RR = 0.65; 95% CI = 0.45-0.94; P = .023), and wi-pVLD (RR = 0.46; 95% CI = 0.33-0.66; P < .001) were associated with incident risk of RDR. Both pVD and pVLD of SCP were not significantly associated with DR progression. The AUROC for the DR incidence risk prediction model increased from 0.631 to 0.658 (4.28%; P = .041) by circ-pVLD; the AUC of the RDR incidence risk prediction model increased from 0.631 to 0.752 by wi-pVD (19.18%; P = .009), to 0.752 by circ-pVD (19.18%; P=.009), and to 0.752 by wi-pVLD (19.18%; P = .009). CONCLUSION: Lower pVD and pVLD of SCP are associated with 2-year incident DR and RDR among the T2DM population. The peripapillary metrics imaged by SS-OCTA can provide additional value to the prediction of DR incidence and development.

Background: The relationship between obesity and diabetic retinopathy (DR) remains controversial. The aim of this study was to assess the association of generalized obesity [assessed by body mass index (BMI)] and abdominal obesity [assessed by waist to hip ratio (WHR)] with incident DR, and vision-threatening DR (VTDR), and DR progression among Chinese adults with type 2 diabetic mellitus (T2DM). Method: This prospective cohort study was conducted at the Zhongshan Ophthalmic Center, from November 2017 to December 2020. DR was assessed based on the 7-filed fundus photographs using the modified Airlie House Classification. Multivariable logistic regression models were used to evaluate the associations of BMI and WHR with the development and progression of DR after adjusting for age, sex, traditional risk factors, and mutually for BMI and WHR. Results: Among the 1,370 eligible participants, 1,195 (87.2%) had no sign of any DR and 175 (12.8%) had DR at baseline examination. During the 2 years follow-up visit, 342 (28.6%) participants had incident DR, 11 (0.8%) participants developed VTDR, 15 (8.6%) demonstrated DR progression. After adjusting for confounders, the BMI was negatively associated with incident DR [relative risk (RR) =0.31; 95% confidence interval (CI), 0.26-0.38; P < 0.001] and incident VTDR (RR = 0.22; 95%CI, 0.11-0.43; P < 0.001), while WHR was positively associated with incident DR (RR = 1.47; 95% CI, 1.27-1.71; P < 0.001). BMI and WHR level were not significantly associated with 2-year DR progression in multivariate models (all P > 0.05). Conclusions: This study provides longitudinal evidence that generalized obesity confer a protective effect on DR, while abdominal obesity increased the risk of DR onset in Chinese patients, indicating that abdominal obesity is a more clinically relevant risk marker of DR than generalized obesity.
RESUMEN
INTRODUCTION: Although obesity is one of the established risk factors of diabetes mellitus, the relationship between obesity and diabetic retinopathy (DR) remains unclear in different studies. This study aimed to investigate the association of DR with four obesity-related indexes, including body mass index (BMI), waist to hip ratio (WHR), waist to height ratio (WHtR) and body adiposity index (BAI) in patients with diabetes. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS: We prospectively enrolled 2305 patients with diabetes (2305 eyes) in the Guangzhou Diabetic Eye Study between November 2017 and December 2019 to investigate the prevalence and the association of different types of obesity with DR using BMI, WHR, WHtR and BAI. DR, diabetic macular oedema (DME) and vision-threatening DR (VTDR) were selected as primary outcomes. BMI was categorised as normal (18.5-22.9 kg/m2), overweight (23.0-25.0 kg/m2) and obese (>25.0 kg/m2); WHR, WHtR and BAI were categorised into quarters. RESULTS: A total of 336 (14.58%), 93 (4.03%) and 98 (4.25%) developed DR, DME and VTDR, respectively. The prevalence of DR, DME and VTDR was higher in patients with higher BMI/WHR or lower WHtR/BAI. In the univariate regression model, WHR correlated positively with DR, while WHtR and BAI correlated negatively with DR, DME and VTDR. The association remained independent of age, sex and lipid metabolism parameters. In the multivariate model, obese presented as a protective factor for DME and VTDR, while the second quarter of WHtR(Q2-WHtR) presented as a risk factor. CONCLUSIONS: As high as 67.8% of patients with diabetes were overweight or obese. Obese presented as a significant protective factor of VTDR, while Q2-WHtR presented as a significant risk factor. Therefore, more attention should be paid to centripetal obesity as well as general obesity. Further research is also needed to focus on the improvement of sex-specific weight management in patients with diabetes.

Purpose: To evaluate the role of the peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer (pRNFL) and peripapillary choroidal thickness (pCT) in the development and progression of diabetic retinopathy (DR). Methods: This is a cohort study based on the baseline and 2-year follow-up data of the Guangzhou Diabetic Eye Study. Patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus between the ages of 30 and 80 years were recruited from communities in Guangzhou. DR was graded by seven-field fundus photography after dilation of the pupil. pRNFL and pCT were measured via swept-source optical coherence tomography. Results: A total of 895 patients were included in the study; of these, 748 did not have DR at baseline and 147 had DR at baseline. During the 2-year follow-up, 80 developed DR (10.7%), and 11 experienced DR progression (7.5%). After adjusting for confounding factors, a higher risk of incident DR was strongly associated with a lower average thickness of the pRNFL (risk ratio [RR] per 1 SD, 0.55; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.42-0.72; P < 0.001) and average pCT (RR per 1 SD, 0.49; 95% CI, 0.34-0.70; P < 0.001). Adding both metrics to the DR prediction model significantly improved the discriminant ability of the model for incidences of DR (area under the curve increased by 15.38% from 0.673 to 0.777; P < 0.001). Conclusions: Neurodegeneration shown by the thinning of pRNFL and impaired choroidal circulation shown by the thinning of pCT are independently associated with DR onset, and assessing both metrics can improve the risk assessment for DR incidences.

PURPOSE: To characterize the morphologic features of corneal parameters and their correlation with axial length (AL) elongation in patients with high axial myopia. DESIGN: Cross-sectional comparative study. METHODS: A total of 299 eyes with high myopia (299 patients) and 266 eyes of age- and sex-matched control subjects (266 patients) were examined by anterior segment swept-source optical coherence tomography (SS-OCT) and an IOL Master. Central corneal thickness (CCT), thinnest corneal thickness (TCT), corneal volume (CV), and anterior corneal curvature (CC), posterior CC, and total CC were obtained, and their correlation with AL was investigated using multiple linear regression model. RESULTS: The CCT, TCT, CV, and anterior, posterior, and total CC of patients with high myopia were smaller than those of the control subjects. The CCT, TCT, and CV had a continuous downward trend with AL. However, CC decreased rapidly with AL when AL was <26 mm and the slope decreased when AL was 26 to 28 mm. This linear association was absent when AL was >28 mm. Multiple linear regression showed that the CCT (ß = -1.98, P = .007), TCT (ß = -1.63, P = .019), and CV (ß = -0.13, P = .001) were associated with AL. Anterior, posterior, and total CCs were negatively associated with AL when AL was <26 mm (all P < .001) and when AL was between 26 and 28 mm (all P < .05). CONCLUSIONS: CC decreases may serve as a refractive compensation on myopia when AL is <28 mm. However, this effect does not exist when AL is >28 mm. Consideration should be given to the special distribution of cornea curvature for IOL calculations in subjects with high myopia.

INTRODUCTION: To evaluate the incidence, severity, and risk factors of early-onset posterior capsule opacification (PCO) following uneventful phacoemulsification and intraocular lens (IOL) implantation. METHODS: Patients with cataracts who underwent phacoemulsification and IOL implantation surgery for 3 months from September 2019 to April 2020 were enrolled. All the subjects completed a comprehensive ocular examination. Retroillumination images of the posterior capsule were obtained using a slit lamp with imaging system, and PCO was graded by two ophthalmologists. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were performed to assess the risk factors for PCO. RESULTS: A total of 1039 subjects were enrolled, with mean age 66.68 ± 11.43 years and 42.06% were male. The incidence of early-onset PCO in the 3 months after cataract surgery was 29.93%, and PCO of grade 3 and grade 4 was present in 31 patients (2.98%). Patients with complicated cataract had a higher incidence of PCO than age-related cataract, especially for patients with previous pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) surgery (P < 0.001). Moreover, the incidence of PCO increased with the deficiency of capsulorhexis-IOL overlap (P < 0.001). Multivariate logistic regression also showed that previous PPV surgery (OR 2.664, P = 0.003) and incomplete capsulorhexis-IOL overlap were risk factors for PCO (180-360° overlap: OR 2.058, P < 0.001; < 180° overlap: OR 5.403, P < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS: Larger capsulorhexis and PPV surgery history contribute to the occurrence of early-onset PCO, indicating that primary posterior continuous curvilinear capsulorhexis can be considered during cataract surgery for patients with PPV history.
RESUMEN
PURPOSE: To assess changes in intraocular pressure (IOP) 1 hour after pharmacological dilation in eyes treated with laser peripheral iridotomy (LPI) and untreated fellow eyes of primary angle closure suspects (PACS). DESIGN: A prospective randomized, fellow-eye controlled trial. METHODS: A total of 889 participants with PACS aged 50 to 70 years with LPI in 1 randomly selected eye and a fellow untreated eye were included. All participants underwent comprehensive examinations before and at 2 weeks, 6 months, 18 months, 36 months, 54 months, and 72 months after LPI. The IOP was measured using Goldmann applanation tonometry before and 1 hour after pharmacological dilation. RESULTS: The mean predilation IOP in the untreated eyes was 14.8 ± 2.7 mm Hg, which increased to 16.4 ± 2.7 mm Hg after pharmacological dilation (P < .001). The treated and untreated eyes had similar predilation and postdilation IOP (all P > 0.05). The average postdilation IOP elevation was 1.5 mm Hg in the treated eyes and 1.6 mm Hg in the untreated eye, without significant differences (P = .802). Lower predilation IOP (P < .001), smaller AOD500 (P = 0.001), smaller ARA500 (P = .030), smaller TISA500 (P = .043), and larger Iarea (P < 0.001) were associated with postdilation IOP elevation of 5 mm Hg and greater. Three untreated eyes (1.04 per 1000 pupil dilation) and 1 treated eye (0.34 per 1000 pupil dilation) developed acute angle closure (AAC) after dilation during the 72-month follow-up. CONCLUSIONS: Postdilation IOP elevation was similar among treated and untreated eyes, and the risk of developing AAC was very low, even among patients with PACS. Routine LPI before pupil dilation for people with PACS is not recommended.

PURPOSE: To investigate the occurrence and risk factors of clinically significant intraocular lens (IOL) decentration and tilt in highly myopic eyes using swept-source anterior segment optical coherence tomography (SS-AS-OCT). DESIGN: Cross-sectional study. METHODS: This study included 334 participants (334 eyes) with high myopia, defined as axial length (AL) ≥26 mm, who underwent phacoemulsification with IOL implantation. Decentration and tilt of IOL were assessed by SS-AS-OCT. Clinically significant IOL decentration and tilt was defined as decentration ≥0.4 mm and tilt ≥7°. Routine preoperative and postoperative examinations included visual acuity, refraction, biometric measurement using IOLMaster 700 (Carl Zeiss Meditec), and objective visual quality evaluated by OPD-Scan III (Nidek Technologies). RESULTS: Among the 334 highly myopic participants, 71 (21.3%) had clinically significant IOL decentration, and 26 (7.78%) had clinically significant IOL tilt. The proportion of clinically significant IOL decentration (37.1% vs 14.0%, P < .001) and tilt (16.2% vs 3.90%, P < .001) in those with AL ≥30 mm was significantly higher than in those with AL <30 mm. The multivariable logistic regression model showed only AL ≥30 mm was associated with clinically significant IOL decentration (odds ratio, 1.65; P = .002). AL ≥30 mm (odds ratio, 2.09; P = .001) was an independent risk factor for clinically significant IOL tilt after adjusting for confounders. AL ≥30.3 mm could effectively predict IOL decentration ≥0.6 mm (area under the curve, 0.802). CONCLUSIONS: Participants with AL >30 mm have a higher risk of clinically significant IOL decentration and tilt, thus caution should be taken to implant multifocal or toric IOL for these patients.
