Objective To compare the effectiveness of aspheric intraocular lenses(IOL) versus spherical IOL in the treatment of cataract. Method Randomized controlled trials comparing aspheric IOL with spherical IOL were identified by searching PubMed (2000 to October, 2008), EMbase (2000 to October, 2008), MEDLINE (2000 to October, 2008), and The Cochrane Library (Issue 3, 2008). Two reviewers independently assessed trials for eligibility and quality, as well as the extracted data. Data were synthesized using RevMan software (release 5) provided by the Cochrane Collaboration. Results A total of 14 trials (1383 eyes) were included for systematic review, and 11 out of 14 studies were included in the meta-analysis. Subgroup analyses were used according to different aberrations of aspheric IOL. The results showed a significant difference in the mean best corrected visual acuity at 3 months after cataract surgery in the AcrySof IQ IOL group with WMD -0.02, 95% CI -0.03 to -0.01(Plt;0.0001). It showed a significantly worse difference in the mean of the best corrected visual acuity at 3 months after cataract surgery in the AcrySof IQ IOL group with WMD –0.02, 95%CI –0.03 to –0.01 (Plt;0.000 1). It showed a significant worse in the mean the best corrected visual acuity in the Tecnis Z9000 IOL group with WMD 0.02, 95%CI 0.01 to 0.03 (P=0.002); and there was no significant difference between the two groups with WMD 0.00, 95%CI –0.02 to –0.03 (P=0.71). The results did display markedly less spherical aberration and total higher order aberrations than eyes implanted with the traditional spheric IOL in all subgroups (WMD –0.06, 95%CI –0.07 to –0.06, Plt;0.000 01, WMD –0.06, 95%CI –0.07 to –0.02, Plt;0.000 1, respectively). The majority of studies suggested significant improvement in the aspheric IOL group in contrast sensitivity, especially at mesopic low spatial frequencies, although some trials showed no significant difference. Conclusion The effectiveness of aspheric IOL is superior to spherical IOL during cataract surgery. No differences in aspheric IOL with different aberration are found in this series, and further study is required.
Objective To investigate the effects of phacoemulsification on macula in diabetics． Methods Thirty eyes of cataract in diabetics were chosen randomly for measurement of the thickness of fovea of retina using OCT before phacoemulsification and 1 month after surgery ． The other eyes in these patients and 30 eyes of cataract in nondiabetic pati ents with phacoemulsification were as control． Results In 30 eyes of diabetics with phacoemulsification, the mean fovea thickness were (148．5plusmn;27．7) mu;m preoperatively and (219．4plusmn;68．23) mu;m postoperatively, and the difference was significant (Plt;0．05)． In 30 eyes of diabetics without surgery, the mean foveal thickness were (147.4plusmn;27.5) mu;m preoperatively and (148.2plusmn;27.3) mu;m postoperatively and the difference was not significant (Pgt;0．05)． In 30 eyes of cataract in nondiabetic patients, the mean fovea thickness were (142．37plusmn;12．7) mu;m preoperatively and (151．9plusmn;23．7) mu;m postoperatively and the difference was not significant (Pgt;0．05)． In 30 eyes of diabetic s with phacoemulsification, 11 eyes had new macula edema after surgery and 3 eye s had significant retinal thickening． In 6 eyes with macular edema before surgery, the macular edema were aggravated in 3 eyes after surgery． The macular stru ctural changes were not found in two control groups． Conclusion The thickness of retina is inreased after phacoemulsification in deabetics,and morbidity and its severity of postopevative macular edema are increas ed as well． (Chin J Ocul Fundus Dis, 2001,17:175-177)
Objective To observe the changes in peripapillary vessel perfusion after uncomplicated phacoemulsification surgery in patients with cataract and primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG). Methods A case-control study. From November 2017 to April 2019, 17 eyes of 17 cases of POAG complicated with cataract (observation group) and 17 eyes of 17 cases of simple senile cataract (control group) were included in the study. All the affected eyes underwent best corrected visual acuity (BCVA), intraocular pressure (IOP), visual field, optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) examination, and measurement of axial length (AL) and central corneal thickness (CCT). All eyes underwent conventional phacoemulsification surgery for cataract. After the operation, the same equipment and methods as before the operation were used for related inspections. The VD, the thickness of the retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL), and the IOP were observed before the operation, at the end of the operation, and 1 d, 1 week, 1 month and 3 months after the operation, mean visual field defect (MD) changes 3 months after surgery. Data comparisons within groups used repeated measures analysis of variance; data comparisons between groups used independent samples t test. Results The average age of patients in the observation group and control group was 68.18±6.13 and 65.82±6.95 years, respectively, and the difference was not statistically significant (t=1.912, P=0.072). There was no significant difference in AL (t=1.436), CCT (t=?1.557) and phacoemulsification (t=1.602) between the two groups (P>0.05). The difference of the mean IOP was statistically significant between the two groups (t=4.139, P<0.05). Before surgery, the VD (t=?6.560) and RNFL thickness (t=?7.320) of the observation group were lower than those of the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (P＜0.05). Compared with before the operation, the VD around the disc of the eye in both groups increased at the end of the operation and at different time points after the operation. Among them, the observation group had a statistically significant difference at 1 month after the operation of the eye (F=3.108, P=0.042); the control group had no significant difference at different time points after the operation (F=1.981, P＞0.05). The results of each quadrant analysis showed that only the observation group had a statistically significant difference in the temporal side of the eye one month after surgery (F=5.414, P=0.017). After surgery, the observation group and the control group had thicker RNFL thickness around the disc of the eye, and the difference was statistically significant (F=22.670, 23.080; P=0.002, 0.001). Before the operation and 3 months after the operation, the average MD of the eyes of the observation group and the control group were 14.90±7.15, 1.12±0.93 dB and 12.10±7.70, 0.88±0.66 dB, respectively. The average MD before and 3 months after the operation was compared, and the difference was statistically significant (t=14.414, 13.225; P=0.000, 0.000). Compared with before surgery, there was no statistically significant difference in the average MD of the two groups of eyes at 3 months after surgery (t=0.938, 0.817; P=0.082, 0.103). At the end of the operation, the intraocular pressure of the observation group and the control group were 10.84±3.39 and 11.46±3.79 mm Hg (1 mm Hg=0.133 kPa), respectively; they were both lower than before the operation, and the difference was statistically significant (t=?2.211, ?2.310; P＜0.05). Conclusions The thickness of VD and RNFL in eyes with POAG combined with cataract is lower than that in patients with senile cataract alone. The high perfusion pressure during conventional phacoemulsification surgery can cause a transient increase in VD, but it will not cause further damage to the visual field of POAG patients.
Objectives To systematic review the safety of routine preoperative testings versus selectivepreoperative testings for cataract surgery. Methods We searched the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials-Central (which contains the Cochrane Eyes and Vision Group Trials Register) in the Cochrane Library (Issue 3, 2008), MEDLINE (1966 to Oct. 2008), EMBASE (1980 to Oct. 2008), CMB-disk (1979 to Oct. 2008). We also hand-searched related journals. All the search was restricted in English and Chinese. Methodological quality of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) was evaluated by simple evaluate method that recommended by the Cochrane Collaboration. Data extracted by two reviewers with designed extraction form. RevMan 5.0 software was used for data management and analysis. Obtained evidence the safety of routine preoperative testings versus selective preoperative testings.Result Four RCTs involving 20 490 participants required cataract surgery were included by total retrieve and riddling. The result of metaanalysis showed that there was no significant difference between the two groups in the rates of intraoperative systemic events [RR=1.05, 95%CI (0.89, 1.24), P=0.59], postoperative systemic events [RR=0.97, 95%CI (0.80, 1.18), P=0.77], intraoperative ocular events [RR=0.99, 95%CI (0.74, 1.33), P=0.97] and postoperative ocular events [RR=1.11, 95%CI (0.76, 1.60), P=0.59]. Conclusion To compare routine preoperative testings group with selective preoperative testings group, there was no significant difference in the rates of intraoperative systemic events, postoperative systemic events, intraoperative ocular events and postoperative ocular events. However the application of the results to the patients with incapacitating systemic diseases needs further study.
Cataract combined with retinopathy can seriously affect the vision of patients. Vitrectomy combined with one-stage implantation of multi-focal intraocular lens (MIOL) has been paid more and more attention. The application of MIOL shows potential in improving the visual quality of patients, but its effect is affected by many factors, and refractive drift is a key problem to be solved. At present, the research mainly focuses on cataract patients with high myopia, and further research on other types of retinopathy is needed. In the future, multi-center, large-sample, long-term clinical studies and interdisciplinary cooperation are needed to optimize surgical and management programs to enhance the application effect of MIOL in the treatment of retinopathy and improve the quality of life of patients.
ObjectiveTo observe the changes of macula in patients with high myopia after phacoemulsification. MethodsIn 20 patients with high myopia with ocular axial length≥27 mm, optical coherence tomography (OCT) was performed on the operative and contralateral eyes 1 week before and after monocular phacoemulsification, respectively, and the OCT images of macula of the operative eyes were observed and compared.ResultsOne week before and after phacoemulsification, the mean macular fovea thickness of the patients with high myopia was (131.6±16.37) μm and (189.75±45.69) μm, respectively, with a significant difference (t=2.805, P=0.01). Simultaneously, the mean macular fovea thickness of the contralateral eyes was (133.5±15.12) μm and (133.5±14.63) μm, respectively, with a non-significant difference (t=1.367, P=0.853). In 20 operative eyes 1 week after phacoemulsification, 3 had vitreous strand around the macula with retinal thickening, 1 had retinoschisis in macular area, and 2 had obvious retinal thickening with slight retinal edema.ConclusionRetinal thickening occurs in the patients with high myopia after phacoemulsification. Traction of retina by vitreous strand or subclinical retinoschisis may occur in some patients.(Chin J Ocul Fundus Dis, 2005,21:90-92)
Objective To compare the efficacy and safety of pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) versus scleral buckling (SB) on rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) after cataract surgery. Methods A computerized search was conducted in the Cochrane Library, Medline, Embase, China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), Chinese Biological Medicine Database (CBM) combined with manually searching of related literatures. Randomized controlled trials (RCT) comparing PPV with SB for RRD after cataract surgeries were collected. Best corrected visual acuity (BVCA), reattachment rate after primary surgery, final reattachment rate and complications between the two operations were compared. Results A total of four RCTs were included in this meta analysis, including 690 eyes of 690 patients (331 eyes in the PPV group, 359 eyes in the SB group). There was no difference in reattachment rates after primary surgery between two groups ［odds ratio (OR) =1.68; 95% confidence interval (CI), 0.81-3.49; P=0.16). Final reattachment rate were in favor of PPV (OR=1.97; 95% CI,1.04 -3.73;P=0.04). There was no significant difference in the proportion of BCVA at six months (weighted mean difference=0.06; 95%CI,-0.01- 0.14; P=0.11). PPV was associated with a significantly lower frequency of diplopia/extrocular muscle dysfunction than SB (OR=6.59; 95% CI1.16 - 37.27; P=0.03), whereas other complications, such as proliferative vitreoretinopathy, macular pucker, cystoid macular edema, and choroidal detachment did not differ statistically (P＞0.05). Conclusion Compared with SB, PPV is more likely to achieve a favorable final reattachment rate for RRD after cataract surgery, and with a lower rate of diplopia/extrocular muscle dysfunction.
Objective To evaluate the effect of optimizing the management measures of cataract ambulatory surgery. Methods The patients who underwent cataract phacoemulsification combined with intraocular lens implantation in the Ambulatory Surgery Center of East District of Beijing Tongren Hospital affiliated to Capital Medical University were selected. Patients between January and December 2021 (after the optimization of ambulatory surgery process) were included, and patients between January and December 2020 (before the optimization of ambulatory surgery process) were included as control. The three factors of age, gender and surgical eye type were used as predictive variables for propensity score matching. The proportion of patients who completed the surgery according to the scheduled time, the proportion of eye drops used according to the doctor’s instructions and the number of hospital visits before and after the optimization of the ambulatory surgery process were compared with the patients who successfully matched. Results A total of 28306 patients were included, including 13284 before and 15022 after process optimization. There were 13467 males and 14839 females, with a median age of 70 (60, 78) years. There was no statistically significant difference in the age of patients before the process optimization (P>0.05), but there was statistically significant difference in gender and surgical eye (P<0.05). After the propensity score matching, a total of 12932 pairs of patients were matched successfully. After the propensity score matching, there was no statistically significant difference between the two groups in age, gender and surgical eye (P>0.05). After the process optimization, the proportion of patients who completed surgery on schedule (98.8% vs. 93.3%) and used eyedrops according to the doctor’s instructions (97.4% vs. 93.0%) were higher than that before the process optimization, and the proportion of patients who came to hospital more than 3 times (0.7% vs. 1.9%) was lower than that before the process optimization (P<0.05). Conclusion The optimized ambulatory surgery process can help patients complete the surgery according to the scheduled time and use eye medication according to the doctor’s instructions, and can reduce the number of patients coming to the hospital.
ObjectiveTo observe the clinical manifestations of a Wagner syndrome (WS) family. MethodsA retrospective clinical study. Four patients (the proband, his father, sister, and brother) and one family member (the proband's mother) from a WS family diagnosed by clinical examination in Chengdu Aidi Eye Hospital in June 2023 were included in the study. The proband's medical history was examined in detail, followed by best corrected visual acuity (BCVA), fundus color photography, optical coherence tomography (OCT), and OCT angiography (OCTA). The proband underwent full field electroretinogram (ERG) examination. The proband and his sister and brother underwent blood glucose, blood pressure, hearing, face, joint, exercise and general physical examination at the same time. Peripheral venous blood was collected from the proband and 4 other family members. The proband extracts genomic DNA samples, conducts target region capture, library construction and high-throughput sequencing after qualified quality control. The suspected pathogenic mutation sites were verified by Sanger. According to the selected mutation sites, other family members in this family were co-isolated and verified. The pathogenicity of the mutation site was analyzed using the guidelines of the American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics (ACMG). ResultsProband (Ⅱ-1) was 23 years old female. Both eyes BCVA were 0.1. The waveforms of ERG in both eyes were basically normal, and some amplitudes were reduced. Sister of the proband (Ⅱ-2) was 20 years old. Both eyes BCVA 1.0. Fundus examination showed no obvious abnormality. Brother of the proband (Ⅱ-3) was 19 years old. The left eye underwent pars plana vitrectomy combined with silicone oil filling 2 years ago due to retinal detachment and severe vitreous hyperplasia. BCVA light sensitivity, complicated cataract, and fundus opacity were observed. Right eye BCVA was 0.1. The lenses of the proband and his younger sister and brother were pointed and wedged, and the younger brother was heavier. Vitreous cavity of lens. The retina color of both eyes and the right eye of the younger brother of the protor was dark, with flaky dark areas on the side of the nose and the posterior pole, and the symmetrical retinal veil membrane hyperplasia and pulling on the periphery, showing small retinal splits. The choroidal retina showed focal and segmental symmetrically large atrophy. The optic disc was tilted. By OCT examination, the ellipsoid band was partially missing and broken, and the thickness of the choroid layer was reduced. Retinal cortical atrophy in 1 eye (younger brother of proband). By OCTA examination, the mesovascular layer of choroid was atrophied seriously and the blood density decreased. The results of laboratory and general examination of the three siblings showed no obvious abnormalities. The results of genetic testing showed that the proband, his father (Ⅱ-1), his sister and his brother carried a heterozygous mutation of the VCAN gene c.9264A>G (p.Pro3088=). According to ACMG guidelines, the pathogenicity of this variant was unknown. The mother of proband (Ⅰ-2) was wild type. ConclusionsThe abnormal manifestations of WS eyes are diverse, and both anterior and posterior segments could be involved. The pathogenicity of the heterozygous variation of VCAN gene c.9264A>G (P.RO3088 =) in this family is unknown.
ObjectiveTo use ultrasound biomicroscope (UBM) to observe the zonules in patients before cataract surgery and study the relation between the length of zonules and axial length (AL), so as to understand the underlying anatomical and pathological basis of factors influencing the stability of lens capsule in high axial myopic patients and provide objective theoretical references for surgical risk reduction and postoperative follow-up guidance. MethodsFifty-five patients (55 eyes) proposed to receive phacoemulsification between October 2014 and October 2015 were divided into group A (AL < 26 mm, n=21), group B (26 mm≤AL < 29 mm, n=14), and group C (AL≥29 mm, n=20) according to their AL.UBM examination was conducted preoperatively.Through measuring the length of zonules in supine position at 12, 3, 6, and 9 o'clock respectively, we compared the difference of the length of zonules among those three groups, and explored the correlation between the length of zonules and axial length. ResultsThe average length of zonules in group A was (0.67±0.13) mm, while that in group B and group C was (0.93±0.29) and (0.98±0.19) mm, respectively.The length of zonules in group A was shorter than that in group B and Group C, and the differences were statistically significant (P < 0.001);and that in group B was shorter than that in group C, but the difference was of no statistical significance (P=0.331).In the correlation analysis between axial length and the average length of zonules, the length of zonules was positively correlated with the axial length (r=0.502). ConclusionsUBM provides a quantitative method for observing zonules.In the assessment before cataract surgery, it is a more accurate method for evaluation of zonules, and probably has a certain value in pre-assessment of intra ocular lens dislocation after cataract surgery.
