Thickness profiles of the corneal epithelium along the steep and flat meridians of astigmatic corneas after orthokeratology.

Background: The aim of this study was to investigate the changes in corneal epithelial thickness along the principle meridians of astigmatic corneas after six months of overnight spherical myopic orthokeratology (OK) lens wear.

Methods: This is a prospective study. Fifty-seven subjects with up to 1.

Ciliary muscle morphology and accommodative lag in hyperopic anisometropic children.

Purpose: To investigate the cross-sectional area (CSA) and thickness of the ciliary muscle and their correlation with accommodative lag in hyperopic anisometropic children.

Methods: Forty children aged between 6 and 10 years with hyperopic anisometropia were recruited. The more hyperopic eye (mean refractive power of 3.

Comparison of efficacy and visual outcomes after SMILE and FS-LASIK for the correction of high myopia with the sum of myopia and astigmatism from -10.00 to -14.00 dioptres.

Purpose: To compare the efficacy and visual outcomes after femtosecond laser small incision lenticule extraction (SMILE) and femtosecond laser-assisted laser in situ keratomileusis (FS-LASIK) in correcting high myopia.

Methods: This prospective, randomized study included patients who underwent SMILE or FS-LASIK for the correction of high myopia [the sum of spherical and cylindrical error from -10.00 to -14.

Three-dimensional finite element analysis of silk protein rod implantation after core decompression for osteonecrosis of the femoral head.

Background: Several methods are available for the treatment of early-stage osteonecrosis of the femoral head. Core decompression with implantation is a widely-used treatment. However, no single implant is recognized as the most effective way to prevent disease progression.

Scleral Cross-Linking Using Glyceraldehyde for the Prevention of Axial Elongation in the Rabbit: Blocked Axial Elongation and Altered Scleral Microstructure.

Background: This study aims to assess the efficacy of the scleral collagen cross-linking method using glyceraldehyde solution for prevention of lens-induced axial elongation in New Zealand rabbits and investigate the biochemical and microstructural changes that occur.

Methods: The right eyes of New Zealand rabbits aged seven weeks were randomly divided into three groups: the cross-linking group (n = 6), non-crosslinking group (n = 5), and untreated control group (n = 5). Eyes in cross-linking and non-crosslinking groups were treated with a -8.

The use of rigid gas permeable contact lenses in children with myopic amblyopia: A case series.

Purpose: To explore the safety profile and overall visual improvement over the course of RGP contact lens wear on children with unilateral or bilateral amblyopia resulting from myopia.

Methods: This was a retrospective analysis case series study. Clinical records of 15 patients who were fitted with RGP contact lenses at the Shanghai Eye and EENT Hospital of Fudan University between the period of January 2009 to December 2014 were reviewed.

Comparison of Corneal Power and Astigmatism between Simulated Keratometry, True Net Power, and Total Corneal Refractive Power before and after SMILE Surgery.

. To compare the mean corneal power (Km) and total astigmatism (Ka) estimated by three methods: simulated keratometry (simK), true net power (TNP), and total corneal refractive power (TCRP) before and after femtosecond laser small incision lenticule extraction (SMILE) surgery. .

Factors related to axial length elongation and myopia progression in orthokeratology practice.

Purpose: To investigate which baseline factors are predictive for axial length growth over an average period of 2.5 years in a group of children wearing orthokeratology (OK) contact lenses.

Methods: In this retrospective study, the clinical records of 249 new OK wearers between January 2012 and December 2013 from the contact lens clinic at the Eye and ENT Hospital of Fudan University were reviewed.

Comparison of early changes in and factors affecting vault following posterior chamber phakic Implantable Collamer Lens implantation without and with a central hole (ICL V4 and ICL V4c).

Background: To objectively compare the early changes in vault over time following implantation of an Implantable Collamer Lens without (ICL V4) and with (ICL V4c) a central hole and the respective factors affecting vault change in moderate to high myopia.

Methods: This prospective study comprised of 38 eyes of 38 patients implanted with ICL V4 and 39 eyes of 39 patients implanted with ICL V4c intraocular lenses. We quantitatively assessed the postoperative values of vault and pupil size at 1 day, 1 week, and 1 month following implantation using a rotating Scheimpflug camera (Pentacam).

Treatment Zone Decentration During Orthokeratology on Eyes with Corneal Toricity.

Purpose: To compare the magnitude of treatment zone decentration between eyes with minimally toric corneas (≤1.50 DC, LoTor group) and eyes with moderately toric corneas (1.50 to 3.

Comparison of the change in posterior corneal elevation and corneal biomechanical parameters after small incision lenticule extraction and femtosecond laser-assisted LASIK for high myopia correction.

Purpose: To compare posterior corneal elevation (PCE) changes and corneal biomechanical changes post fematosecond laser-assisted laser in situ keratomileusis (FS-LASIK) and small incision lenticule extraction (SMILE) procedures using the Pentacam system and the Ocular Response Analyzer (ORA).

Design: Retrospective observational case series study.

Method: 106 patients with bilateral myopia who underwent either FS-LASIK (56 patients) or SMILE (50 patients) were reviewed, only the right eye was used in the analysis.
