Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to compare the safety and efficacy of trial lens-fitting versus software-fitting in orthokeratology for myopia control in children with a high corneal eccentric value.
- A total of 89 myopic children participated, split into two groups, with various ocular measurements taken over 12 months to assess treatment outcomes.
- Both methods were found to be effective and safe, but the software-fitting resulted in a smaller treatment zone and less decentration compared to the trial lens-fitting method.
Background: Different splicing of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) gene results in 2 families of VEGF, the proangiogenic isoforms (VEGFxxxa) and the antiangiogenic isoforms (VEGFxxxb). VEGF165b is the major antiangiogenic isoform of VEGF and the most studied member of the VEGFxxxb family so far.
Objectives: To determine the concentration of VEGF165b and VEGF in the aqueous humor (AH) in diabetic eyes with or without diabetic retinopathy (DR) and to address the predictive value of VEGF165b/VEGF ratio for progression of DR.
