AI Article Synopsis

  • Aim: This study aimed to understand how peripheral refraction relates to the development of myopia in male teenage Chinese students.
  • Methods: Over two years, 85 non-myopic boys aged 14-16 were assessed for peripheral refraction at different angles to see how it changed and correlated with myopia onset.
  • Results: 15.29% of participants developed myopia, and those who did had lower baseline central and peripheral refraction values. Higher relative peripheral hyperopia was noted in myopic students, indicating that certain baseline refractive measurements might help in predicting myopia.

Article Abstract

Aim: To characterize peripheral refraction and its relationship with myopia development in a selected group of male teenage Chinese students.

Methods: This 2-year prospective cohort study randomly enrolled 85 non-myopic boys (age, 14-16y) from the Experimental Class of Air Force in China. Cycloplegic peripheral refraction was examined at 0°, ±10°, and ±20° along the horizontal visual field in the right eye at the baseline and 2-year follow-up.

Results: The incidence of myopia at the 2-year follow-up was 15.29% (13/85). The baseline central refraction (CR) and peripheral refraction at ±10° were significantly lower in students who developed myopia than in those who did not (<0.05). Relative peripheral refraction (RPR) did not differ between students with and without myopia (>0.05). At the 2-year follow-up, the RPR at ±10° and 20° nasal was significantly more hyperopic in the myopic group than in the non-myopic group. Multiple linear regression analysis indicated that the change in CR was significantly correlated with the changes in RPR at 20° nasal, 10° nasal, and 20° temporal. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis indicated that the baseline CR [odds ratio (OR): 0.092, 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.012-0.688, =0.020] and the baseline RPR at 10° nasal (OR: 0.182, 95%CI: 0.042-0.799, =0.024) were significantly correlated with incident myopia (Omnibus test, =10.20, =0.006).

Conclusion: CR change is significantly correlated with changes in RPR, and students who develop myopia have more relative peripheral hyperopia. More baseline CR and relative peripheral hyperopia at 10° nasal are protective of myopia onset.

Trans-iris vertical intrascleral haptic fixation of IOL: The bypass technique in eyes with megalocornea.

Intrascleral haptic fixation of intraocular lens (IOL) is an extremely useful technique to provide visual rehabilitation in eyes with inadequate capsular support. It requires exteriorization of haptics along with tucking of haptics in the scleral groove preferably and conventionally in the horizontal meridian. In eyes with large corneal diameter, there is difficulty in tucking enough length of the haptics into the intrascleral groove, carrying the risk of slippage of haptics and decentration of IOL.

Corneal stromal mapping characteristics in normal corneas using anterior segment SD-OCT.

Department of Biopharmaceutics and Clinical Pharmacy, School of Pharmacy, The University of Jordan, Amman, Jordan.

This study investigated how normal corneal stromal profiles change with age, sex, and corrected intraocular pressure (IOP). A retrospective observational analytical study was conducted in Jordan, employing anterior segment spectral-domain optical coherence tomography AS-OCT, a measured corneal stromal thickness (CST) in 134 eyes across the central 6-mm corneal diameter. People between the ages of 18 and 79 were included, and the mean CST values were linked to age groups, IOP, and cis-gender populations, with the exclusion of certain eye conditions.
