7,8,3'-Trihydroxyflavone ameliorate oxidative stress in vivo and promotes neurite regeneration in vitro in rat retinal ganglion cells.

In this study, we investigate the mechanism of 7,8,3'-Trihydroxyflavone (THF) on retinal oxidative stress and retinal ganglion cell (RGC) growth. Oxidative stress was induced by ocular hypertension (O.H.

[Changes of ocular aberration after wavefront-guided aspherical LASIK for myopia].

Objective: To compare the higher order aberration of wavefront-guided aspherical versus wavefront-guided and Q-value guided aspheric personalized LASIK surgery in the treatment of myopia.

Methods: Prospective study.120 patients with myopia and/or astigmatism(240 eyes) were involved in our hospital from August 2010 to December 2010.

[Predictability of the corneal flap creation with the femtosecond laser in LASIK].

Objective: To observe the predictability of corneal flap creation with the FEMTO LDV femtosecond laser and analyze preliminarily the factors correlating to the thickness and diameter of the flap .

Methods: It was a study of serial cases. 260 eyes of 130 consecutive patients were treated with the FEMTO LDV.

[Clinical analysis of intraocular pressure elevation following vitreoretinal surgery].

Objective: To study the incidence and risk factors of intraocular pressure (IOP) elevation in patients who underwent vitreoretinal surgery.

Methods: Data for 422 patients (446 eyes) who underwent vitreoretinal surgery from June 2005 to June 2007 were retrospectively analyzed. IOP was measured before surgery and on day 1, 2, 3, 7-14 after surgery with Goldmann applanation tonometer.

Contrast sensitivity and higher-order aberrations in patients with astigmatism.

Background: Astigmatism is one of the most significant obstacles for achieving satisfactory visual function. This study was to evaluate the influence of astigmatism on contrast sensitivity (CS) and higher-order aberrations.

Methods: CS, accommodation response and wavefront aberration were measured in 113 patients with astigmatism, aged 18 - 36 years.
