Incidence of rhegmatogenous retinal detachments is increasing in Wenzhou, China.

Aim: To estimate and compare the incidence and characteristics of rhegmatogenous retinal detachments (RRDs) in the Wenzhou area in 2015 to 2019.

Methods: All newly developed RRD cases among residents of the Wenzhou area, from January 2015 to December 2019, were retrospectively retrieved from hospital records. Annual population data were extracted from the Wenzhou Statistical Yearbook.

Inner limiting membrane peeling prevents secondary epiretinal membrane after vitrectomy for proliferative diabetic retinopathy.

Aim: To evaluate the role of internal limiting membrane (ILM) peeling in preventing secondary epiretinal membrane (ERM) formation in pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) for proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR).

Methods: This retrospective study analyzed the medical records of patients who underwent PPV for PDR and were followed up for minimum 3mo. ILM peeling was performed based on the intraoperative surgeons' judgments.

Assessment of Knowledge, Attitude, and Practice Regarding Diabetic Retinopathy in an Urban Population in Northeast China.

Objective: This study aimed to assess the knowledge, attitude, and practice (KAP) of diabetic subjects with diabetic retinopathy (DR) and those without DR (NDR) in an urban community in Northeast China, as well as their risk factors in subjects with DR and NDR.

Methods: A community-based survey involving 1,662 subjects was conducted in Fushun, China, between July 2012 and May 2013. The subjects included diabetics with DR ( = 783) and those NDR ( = 879), and questionnaires were completed to collect information about their sociodemographic and healthcare characteristics.

Internal Limiting Membrane Peeling versus Nonpeeling to Prevent Epiretinal Membrane Formation following Vitrectomy for Posterior Segment Open-Globe Injury.

Purpose: Approximately 30% of patients with an open-globe injury (OGI) develop a secondary epiretinal membrane (ERM). This study was performed to assess whether internal limiting membrane (ILM) peeling in the treatment of posterior segment OGI prevents ERM formation.

Methods: The medical records of 33 patients who underwent vitrectomy for posterior segment OGI from 2016 to 2019 were retrospectively analyzed.

Association between Mean Ocular Perfusion Pressure and Diabetic Retinopathy in a Northeastern Chinese Population.

Objective: To evaluate the association between diabetic retinopathy (DR) and mean ocular perfusion pressure (MOPP) in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).

Methods: Patients from the Fushun Diabetic Retinopathy Cohort Study (FS-DIRECT), a community-based prospective cohort study conducted in northeast China, were included in this study. The presence and severity of DR were determined by grading fundus photographs according to the Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS) retinopathy scale.

Interocular Asymmetry of Visual Field Loss, Intraocular Pressure, and Corneal Parameters in Primary Open-Angle Glaucoma.

Objectives: This study aimed to assess the association between the corneal biomechanical parameters and visual field (VF) loss in patients with asymmetric primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG).

Methods: A total of 89 POAG patients (50 males, 56.2%) with asymmetric VF loss, aged 65.

Prevalence of and Risk Factors for Diabetic Retinopathy and Diabetic Macular Edema in Patients with Early- and Late-Onset Diabetes Mellitus.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to compare the prevalence of diabetic retinopathy (DR) and diabetic macular edema (DME), as well as their risk factors in patients with early-onset diabetes (EOD, ≤40 years) and late-onset diabetes (LOD, >40 years).

Methods: Patients were recruited from a community-based study, Fushun Diabetic Retinopathy Cohort Study (FS-DIRECT), conducted between July 2012 and May 2013 in China. The presence and severity of DR and DME were determined by a modified Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS) retinopathy scale of six-field fundus photographs.

Rationale, Design, Methodology and Baseline Data of Fushun Diabetic Retinopathy Cohort Study (FS-DIRECT).

: To describe the rationale, design, methodology and baseline characteristics of Fushun Diabetic Retinopathy Cohort Study (FS-DIRECT), a community-based prospective cohort study in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) living in northeast China.: Patients with T2DM, aged 30 years and above from communities of Fushun city, Liaoning province, China, were recruited. The presence and severity of the diabetic retinopathy (DR) were determined by a modified Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS) retinopathy scale of 6 fields fundus photographs.
