Purpose: To describe neodymium-doped yttrium-aluminum-garnet (Nd:YAG) laser treatment of visual axis opacification and secondary membranes in pediatric patients with cataracts under intranasal dexmedetomidine sedation.
Methods: Twenty eyes of 17 patients with secondary membrane formation after cataract extraction were enrolled in this study. Intranasal dexmedetomidine sedation (3 ug/kg) was administered, and Nd:YAG laser (Ellex Super Q, Adelaide, Australia) procedures were performed with children in the sitting position with their chin supported on a laser delivery slit lamp.
Aim: To observe whether silicone oil (SO) tamponade could decrease macular perfusion after retinal detachment repair.
Methods: A prospective observational case-control study. Patients diagnosed with primary macular off rhegmatogenous retinal detachment undergoing successful retinal repair surgery with vitrectomy were strictly selected.

Purpose: To quantitatively measure meibomian gland (MG) tortuosity in meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD) patients and normal controls and to observe the efficacy of evaluating MG tortuosity for the diagnosis of MGD.
Methods: This cross-sectional study enrolled 32 obstructive MGD patients and 28 normal volunteers. Clinical assessments were performed, including symptom questionnaires, tear meniscus height, tear break-up time (TBUT), corneal fluorescein staining, lid margin abnormality, MG expressibility, and meibography.
Objective: To investigate the feasibility and safety of higher-dose dexmedetomidine in ophthalmological outpatient examination of children with cataract.
Methods: 100 cases of children were recruited in the study and randomly equally divided into two groups. One group was given 2 g/kg intranasal dexmedetomidine anesthesia, while the other group was under 3 g/kg.
