The feasibility and safety of biomaterials for posterior scleral reinforcement in rabbits.

To explore the feasibility and safety of biomaterials for posterior scleral reinforcement (PSR) in rabbits. Decellularization and genipin crosslink were applied to the fresh bovine pericardium and porcine endocranium, and then mechanical properties, suture retention strength, and stability were tested. PSR operation was performed on 24 rabbit eyes using treated biological materials.

POSTERIOR SCLERAL CONTRACTION TO TREAT MYOPIC FOVEOSCHISIS IN HIGHLY MYOPIC EYES.

Purpose: To evaluate the efficacy of posterior scleral contraction to treat myopic foveoschisis (MF).

Methods: The records of MF patients treated with posterior scleral contraction were reviewed. During posterior scleral contraction, a cross-linked fusiform strip from allogeneic sclera was used and designed axial length (AL) shortening amount was around 2.

Posterior scleral reinforcement using genipin-cross-linked sclera for macular hole retinal detachment in highly myopic eyes.

Background/aims: To investigate the surgical outcomes of posterior scleral reinforcement (PSR) using genipin-cross-linked sclera to treat macular hole retinal detachment (MHRD) in highly myopic eyes.

Methods: Nineteen patients with high myopia (19 eyes) with MHRD were treated sequentially with genipin-cross-linked PSR and were followed at least for 1 year after the surgery. The best corrected visual acuity (BCVA), axial length (AL), optical coherence tomography (OCT) outcomes and the complications were evaluated.

Clinical Investigation of the Posterior scleral contraction to Treat Macular Traction Maculopathy in Highly Myopic Eyes.

Myopic traction maculopathy (MTM) can cause vision disabilities in highly myopic eyes. This retrospective case series investigated the clinical outcomes of posterior scleral contraction (PSC) using genipin-cross-linked sclera as the material to treat MTM in highly myopic eyes. In total, 32 eyes from 29 highly myopic patients who underwent PSC for MTM were recruited.

Myopic Macular Retinoschisis in Teenagers: Clinical Characteristics and Spectral Domain Optical Coherence Tomography Findings.

To investigate the morphological characteristics of myopic macular retinoschisis (MRS) in teenagers with high myopia, six male (9 eyes) and 3 female (4 eyes) teenagers with typical MRS identified from chart review were evaluated. All cases underwent complete ophthalmic examinations including best corrected visual acuity (BCVA), indirect ophthalmoscopy, colour fundus photography, B-type ultrasonography, axial length measurement, and spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT). The average age was 17.

The efficacy and safety of posterior scleral reinforcement using genipin cross-linked sclera for macular detachment and retinoschisis in highly myopic eyes.

Background/aims: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of posterior scleral reinforcement (PSR) using genipin cross-linked sclera as the material to treat macular detachment and retinoschisis, both without macular hole, in highly myopic eyes.

Methods: Twenty-one patients with highly myopic eyes (24 eyes) with macular detachment and retinoschisis were treated sequentially with genipin cross-linked PSR and were followed for at least 1 year after surgery. The best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), spherical equivalent (SE) power, axial length (AL), optical coherence tomography, and the complications were evaluated.

[Three-year follow-up of iris-claw phakic intraocular lens implantation for high myopia].

Objective: To investigate long-term efficacy and safety of an iris-claw phakic intraocular lens (ICPIOL) implantation for high myopia.

Methods: A consecutive group of 86 eyes in 49 patients with -15.33±3.

[Change of accommodative function in phakic eyes with iris-fixated phakic intraocular lens implantation].

Objective: To evaluate the changes of accommodative function after implantation of iris-fixated phakic intraocular lens (IFPIOL) for correction of high myopia, and compared with gender and age matched emmetropes. This study also provides clinical basis for assessing the quality of life after implantation of the IFPIOL.

Methods: It was a case-control study.

Spherical aberration after implantation of an aspheric versus a spherical intraocular lens in high myopia.

Purpose: To compare visual performance and wavefront aberration in high myopia implanted with an aspheric intraocular lens (IOL) and a spherical IOL.

Methods: In this prospective investigation, 31 highly myopic patients were randomized to receive two IOL types: aspheric IOL (Acri.Smart 36A, 22 eyes) and spherical IOL (Rayner Superflex 620H, 23 eyes).

Clinical characteristics of acute zonal occult outer retinopathy in Chinese patients.

Purpose: To review the clinical features of acute zonal occult outer retinopathy (AZOOR) in Chinese patients.

Methods: All patients with AZOOR during 2002-2004 in our hospitals were reviewed retrospectively.

Results: Seven consecutive Chinese patients with AZOOR were recruited and followed up for 4-18 months.

[Myopic proptosis and the associated changes in axial components of the eye].

Objective: To investigate the correlation between proptosis and changes of axial components in myopic eyes.

Methods: One hundred and eighty-nine myopic and emmetropic eyes were included. There are one hundred and eighty-three right eyes and six left eyes.

Proposed classification of lens capsule defects.

Background: Capsule defects are common during or after intraocular surgery of various kinds. The purpose of this work is to establish a classification system of lens capsule defects to provide uniform description of these defects for ophthalmic research and IOL implantation.

Methods: A retrospective study of 128 patients (156 eyes) with lens capsule injury after ocular trauma and intraocular surgery was performed.

Binocular membranous cataract associated with binocular retinal detachment.

A 36-year-old man with a history of consanguineous marriage between his parents presented with bilateral membranous cataract that was complicated by bilateral rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD). Biomicroscopy revealed an absence of the crystalline lens bilaterally, a single piece of integrated fibrotic membrane in the right eye, and a membrane with a central cleft at the level of the ciliary process in the left eye. A small amount of residual cortex was revealed in the peripheral part of the membranes bilaterally when the pupils were dilated.

[Diagnosis and differential diagnosis of acute zonal occult outer retinopathy].

Objective: To study the clinical manifestations of acute zonal occult outer retinopathy (AZOOR) and to differentiate it from other retinal diseases.

Methods: Six patients diagnosed AZOOR had complete eye examinations including fundus photography, fundus fluorescein angiography (FFA), electroretinography (ERG), visual evoked potentials and visual field examination. Medical consultation and neurological consultation were performed in those patients.
