Aims: The aim of this retrospective study was to identify factors affecting myopic shift from predicted values of refraction after sulcus fixation of foldable acrylic intraocular lenses (IOLs).

Methods: A total of 91 eyes from 91 consecutive patients, each of whom underwent primary implantation of sulcus-fixated foldable acrylic IOLs, were assessed. AcrySof MA60BM and Sensar AR40e multi-piece IOLs, and AcrySof SA60AT and BioVue single-piece IOLs were implanted. The type of IOL and axial length (AL) were analysed to identify differences in the spherical equivalent between the predicted refraction values obtained using the SRK/T formula and the manifested refraction values.

Results: The mean myopic shift from the predicted refraction calculated using the SRK/T formula was -1.04 dioptres (D) ±0.85 SD with sulcus fixation of the foldable acrylic IOLs. The type of IOL (multi-piece vs single-piece) did not affect the degree of myopic shift (p=0.100, independent t-test). However, as the AL increased, the myopic shift decreased (p=0.033, r=0.223, Pearson's correlation).

Conclusion: The myopic shift from the predicted refraction differed following sulcus fixation of foldable acrylic IOLs based on the AL, and therefore surgeons should take the AL into account when they determine the IOL power for sulcus fixation procedures.

Here, we describe a rare case of drug-induced unilateral ciliary body effusion precipitated by topical brinzolamide, presenting acutely with pain, angle closure and myopic shift.Ciliary body effusion was suspected clinically and confirmed by ultrasound biomicroscopy. Brinzolamide was ceased, atropine instilled and the ciliary body effusion promptly resolved without need for further treatment.

Single-cell transcriptomic profiling of rat iridocorneal angle at perinatal stages: Revisiting the development of periocular mesenchyme.

Electronic address:

The periocular mesenchyme (POM) gives rise to key structures in the ocular anterior segment, and its malformation leads to anterior segment dysgenesis (ASD) with iridocorneal angle (ICA) abnormalities. However, the transcriptional profile of the POM and the regulatory mechanisms governing cell-fate decision during anterior eye and ICA development remain poorly understood. In this study, we performed a comprehensive time-series analysis by sequencing rat anterior ocular samples collected at five consecutive perinatal stages: embryonic days 16.

Effects of basic type of intermittent exotropia on myopic shift in children: a 12-month observational study.

Front Pediatr

Beijing Tongren Eye Center, Beijing Tongren Hospital, Capital Medical University, Beijing Key Laboratory of Ophthalmology & Visual Sciences, Beijing, China.

Background: To investigate the effect of basic intermittent exotropia (IXT) on myopic shift in children during 12-month follow-up.

Methods: 165 children aged 4-15 years were recruited prospectively in this study and divided into 3 groups: Group A, consisted of 64 patients with basic IXT without surgery; Group B, consisted of 51 patients 1-month after IXT-corrected surgery; and Group C, consisted of 50 patients without any form of strabismus. All patients underwent assessments of spherical equivalent (SE), axial length (AL), exodeviation, and binocular function relating to accommodation and convergence.
