Purpose: To compare the long-term refractive outcomes and visual quality after keratorefractive lenticule extraction (KLEx) and EVO-implantable collamer lens (ICL) implantation for high myopia.
Setting: Eye & ENT Hospital of Fudan University, Shanghai, China.
Design: Retrospective study.
Background: To compare the 4-year visual outcomes of implantable collamer lens V4c (EVO-ICL) implantation and small incision lenticule extraction (SMILE) for high myopia and astigmatism.
Methods: This retrospective case study included 64 eyes of 40 patients. These patients with preoperative manifest refraction spherical equivalent (SE) between - 6.

Article Synopsis
- - The study investigates contrast sensitivity function (CSF) in 320 myopic eyes from 160 Chinese adults, averaging around 27.75 years old, using the quick CSF (qCSF) test to assess visual acuity at multiple frequency cycles.
- - Results indicate significant correlations between age and various measures of CSF acuity, with mean contrast sensitivity (CS) showing notable values at different spatial frequencies, revealing patterns linked to spherical and cylindrical refraction.
- - The findings suggest that contrast sensitivity declines with age across both low and high spatial frequencies, and higher degrees of myopia correspond to decreased CSF acuity, with low astigmatism further influencing contrast sensitivity.
Corneal cross-linking (CXL) has been proved efficiency for treating progressive keratoconus and other corneal ectasia diseases by stabilizing corneal geometry and biomechanics. However, the necessity of repeated CXL treatment in patients is unknown. This study aimed to investigate corneal biomechanical stiffness and change in corneal histopathological characteristics after repeated accelerated CXL (A-CXL) in cat eyes.

- The study aimed to assess the outcomes of PRESBYOND laser-blended vision treatment for presbyopia one year after surgery.
- It involved 20 patients and evaluated their visual acuity, subjective refraction, and optical quality, with patients reporting satisfaction levels after follow-up.
- Results showed significant improvement in both distance and near visual acuity for most patients, with minor issues related to night vision reported, suggesting that while effective, further research on optical quality is needed.
Factors leading to realignment or exchange after implantable collamer lens implantation in 10 258 eyes.

Purpose: To evaluate the incidence, causes, and outcomes of implantable collamer lens (ICL) realignment or exchange after implantation of the EVO-ICL.
Setting: Eye and ENT Hospital of Fudan University, China.
Design: Retrospective study.
Introduction: To investigate nighttime symptoms in patients with myopic anisometropia after monocular small incision lenticule extraction (SMILE) surgery.
Methods: Thirty-six patients who had undergone monocular SMILE more than 6 months previously were recruited at the Eye & ENT Hospital of Fudan University. The average age at surgery was 25.
Visual outcomes after small incision lenticule extraction and implantable collamer lens V4c for moderate myopia: 1-year results.
Graefes Arch Clin Exp Ophthalmol
August 2021
Purpose: To compare 1-year visual outcomes after implantable collamer lens V4c (EVO-ICL) implantation and small incision lenticule extraction (SMILE) for moderate myopia.
Methods: In this retrospective study, 67 eyes of 39 patients with a preoperative manifest refraction spherical equivalent between - 3.00 and - 6.
Purpose: To investigate the optical transmittance and ultrastructure of small incision lenticule extraction (SMILE)-derived lenticules preserved via three different methods.
Methods: A total of 90 lenticules obtained from myopic patients undergoing SMILE surgery were divided into control and experimental groups. Fresh lenticules served as the control.
Purpose: To compare the corneal biomechanical properties between post-LASIK ectasia and primary keratoconus.
Methods: A total of 42 eyes of 42 patients with matching age and central corneal thickness (CCT) were divided into two groups according to diagnosis of post-LASIK ectasia (PLE group; = 21; age range: 22-47 years) and primary keratoconus (KC group; = 21; age range: 21-47 years). The corneal biomechanical properties were assessed using Scheimpflug-based technology (Corvis ST; Oculus Optikgeräte, Wetzlar, Germany).
Purpose: To evaluate the visual quality of myopic patients after non-toric versus toric implantable collamer lens (ICL and TICL, respectively) V4c, and to investigate the potential risk factors of postoperative night vision disturbances.
Methods: This prospective cohort study included 42 eyes of 21 patients treated with ICL and 46 eyes of 23 patients treated with TICL. Refractive parameters and ocular aberrations were examined before and 6 months after surgery.
Purpose: To investigate differences in the objective and subjective visual quality of patients with high myopia following implantable collamer lens V4c (ICL V4c) versus small incision lenticule extraction (SMILE) early postoperatively.
Methods: This prospective analysis included 94 eyes of 57 patients (8 males) in the ICL V4c group (mean spherical equivalent (SE), -8.07 ± 1.
Background: To investigate the efficacy and safety of repeated phototherapeutic keratectomies (PTKs) during long-term treatment for corneal dystrophy (CD) in a Chinese pedigree carrying the R124L mutation in TGFBI.
Methods: This was a retrospective review of 20-year medical and genetic records involving five CD patients (10 eyes) from one pedigree. During this period, PTK was conducted for an eye when best-corrected distance visual acuity (BCDVA) reached > 1.
