Objective: The aim of the study is to observe the difference in progression between type 1 and type 2 Bietti crystalline dystrophy (BCD) using multimodal imaging.
Methods: A retrospective clinical study was performed with six BCD patients who underwent multimodal imaging twice in Hebei Provincial Eye Hospital from October 2015 to December 2020. Multimodal imaging includes color fundus photography, fundus autofluorescence (AF), infrared autofluorescence (IRAF), fundus fluorescein angiography (FFA), and spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT).
Retinal ischemia reperfusion injury (IRI) is a leading cause of visual impairment or blindness, and an effective way to prevent the visual loss needs to be developed. Although decades of clinical application of Huoxue-Tongluo-Lishui-Decoction (HTLD) has demonstrated its reliable clinical efficacy against retinal IRI, no convincing randomized controlled trials were conducted in humans or animals, and the associated mechanism still needs to be explored. To confirm the protective effect of HTLD against retinal IRI and to explore its underlying mechanisms, a standard retinal IRI animal model, randomized controlled trials, objective evaluation and examination methods were adopted in this study.

Methods: We performed a retrospective review of 21 patients (21 eyes) referred to Hebei Eye Hospital in North China from January 2012 to December 2017, who underwent surgical removal of ILFBs and associated ocular trauma repairs. Data regarding the patient demographics, cause of the injury, nature of the ILFB, clinical features, time interval between the injury and the ILFB removal, time interval between the presentation and the surgery, and the initial and final best-corrected visual acuities (BCVAs) were analyzed, and the main prognostic factors were identified.
