Background: Astigmatism is closely associated with myopia progression, vision loss, eye fatigue and amblyopia, which seriously endangers children's eye health. This study aims to investigate the prevalence and characteristic distribution of astigmatism in children in Langzhong City, providing valuable insights for allocating resources and develop prevention and control strategies.
Methods: A cross-sectional study and random sampling survey were conducted.
Article Synopsis
- - This study analyzed the prevalence and factors associated with myopia (nearsightedness) among over 34,000 schoolchildren aged 5-19 in northeastern Sichuan, highlighting how high myopia rates necessitate preventative measures.
- - Results indicated a 65.61% myopia rate in students, with significant variation among different age groups and a noticeable trend of higher rates among female students, especially in secondary and high school levels.
- - Key findings suggested that academic pressure, extended screen time, and higher grades were linked to increased myopia risk, with only 24.36% of students wearing glasses despite the high prevalence of the condition.
Purpose: The aim of this study is to preliminarily investigate the expression of mitochondrial fusion protein 1 (MFN1) in a lens-induced animal myopia (LIM) model and to explore the relationship between MFN1 and the visual development.
Materials And Methods: MFN1 gene expression in guinea pigs was examined during the development of minus LIM, 15 tri-colored guinea pigs were obtained, and one eye of each pig was randomly selected and treated with -7.00D lenses.
Correlation between polymorphisms in the MFN1 gene and myopia in Chinese population.

Aim: To explore whether genetic variations in the MFN1 gene are associated with low to moderate myopia in Chinese population.
Methods: The case-control association analysis was used. The study included 100 independent myopia patients (-0.
Aims: To document the expression of vasoactive intestinal polypeptide (VIP) in the visual cortex-17 of kittens with anisometropic amblyopia, and to investigate the relationship between VIP and the development of the visual system.
Methods: Sixteen normal kittens (4-wk of age) were randomly divided into two groups: control and amblyopic. Amblyopia was produced by atropinization of one eye in eight kittens.
Purpose: Esotropia, especially accommodative estropia (AE), is often seen in patients with hyperopia. In this paper, the authors aim to report the management methods of different types of esotropia in children with hypermetropia and to show the feasibility and efficacy of prismatic correction in the management of small angle of residual esotropia in accommodative estropia.
Methods: A total of 82 esotropes with hyperopia treated during a 2-year period from 2007 to 2009 were reviewed retrospectively.
