Using femtosecond laser to create customized corneal flaps for patients with low and moderate refractive error differing in corneal thickness.

This study is designed to evaluate the visual outcomes, accuracy, and predictability of corneal flaps with different thicknesses created by 60-kHz femtosecond laser according to different corneal thicknesses in the patients with low and moderate refractive error. A total of 182 eyes were divided according to the central corneal thickness (470 μm-499 μm in Group A, 500 μm-549 μm in Group B, and 550 μm-599 μm in Group C) and underwent femtosecond laser-assisted LASIK for a target corneal flap thickness (100 μm for Group A, 110 μm for Group B, and 120 μm for Group C). Uncorrected distance visual acuity (UDVA), corrected distance visual acuity (CDVA), and refractive status were examined.

[Therapeutic effect of phacoemulsification for closed-angle glaucoma].

Objective: To investigate the therapeutic effect of phacoemulsification for primary closed-angle glaucoma complicated with cataract.

Methods: Phacoemulsification with posterior chamber foldable intraocular lens implantation was performed in 55 cases (58 eyes) of acute or chronic primary closed-angle glaucoma complicated with cataract. The changes of visual acuity, intraocular pressure, central anterior chamber depth and anterior chamber angle were observed after operation and the patients were followed up for 6 months.

[Clinical analysis of 106 school-aged children with eye trauma].

Purpose: To detect the characteristics of school-aged children with eye trauma for giving an appropriate way of treatment and prevention.

Methods: One hundred and six cases (107 eyes) of school-aged children with eye trauma treated in our hospital in the last 7 years were analyzed retrospectively.

Results: The main causes of trauma were playing plastic guns, firecracker and fireworks, scissors, or needle.

[Accuracy of intraocular pressure measurement using NCT after LASIK].

Purpose: To study the accuracy of the intraocular pressure (IOP) after laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) with noncontact tonometer (NCT).

Methods: One hundred and eighty cases (256 eyes) myopias that had undergone LASIK were studied. IOP, corneal thickness and corneal curvature were measured before and after LASIK.
