Objective: This study examines the distribution and development of intraocular pressure (IOP) in infants aged from 0 to 36 months and analyzes its correlation with corneal diameter.
Methods: The study used a retrospective case analysis methodology. Healthy infants treated in the ophthalmology department of Hebei Children's Hospital from December 2012 to December 2020 were included in the study. Among these infants, 385 had their IOP measured, and 432 had their corneal diameters measured. Furthermore, information such as birth history, growth and development, IOP, and corneal diameter were collected. Their IOPs were measured with an iCare portable rebound tonometer when the child was awake and calm, and the corneal diameter was measured with a Castroviejo caliper under chloral hydrate sedation. The infants were divided into five groups according to age, and SPSS statistical software was used to analyze, compare, and correlate IOP and corneal diameter variations.
Results: The mean IOP values of 0-1 month, 1-6 months, 6-12 months, 12-24 months and 24-36 months groups were 7.42 ± 1.92, 9.10 ± 2.85, 12.00 ± 3.15, 13.72 ± 3.09, and 15.14 ± 2.67 mmHg, respectively. The differences in IOP of the 0-1 month old infants and the 1-6 months old infants with the other three groups were statistically significant; the difference in IOP between the 6-12 months group and the 24-36 months group was statistically significant. In the studied groups, the horizontal corneal diameters were 9.78 ± 0.14, 10.50 ± 0.29, 10.86 ± 0.23, 11.38 ± 0.07, and 11.72 ± 0.04 mm, respectively, and the vertical diameters of the cornea were 9.28 ± 0.26, 10.07 ± 0.18, 10.28 ± 0.14, 10.56 ± 0.24, and 10.85 ± 0.03 mm, respectively. The differences in the vertical and horizontal diameters of the cornea among the groups were statistically significant.
Conclusion: Infants' IOP and corneal diameter positively correlate with age, and they peak in the first 12 months.

Visual Performance Correlation with Corneal Aberrometric Profile and Pupil Size After Implantation of a Trifocal Hydrophobic IOL.

Purpose: To evaluate clinical outcomes obtained after cataract surgery involving the implantation of a trifocal hydrophobic intraocular lens (IOL) and to determine if pupil size and the corneal aberrometric profile correlate to visual acuity at different distances.
Methods: 49 patients (98 eyes) underwent bilateral cataract surgery with the placement of FineVision HP IOLs for presbyopia and were assessed at 1- and 3- to 6-months post-surgery. Postoperatively, refraction, monocular and binocular uncorrected and corrected distance visual acuity (UDVA and CDVA), uncorrected intermediate visual acuity (UIVA), uncorrected near visual acuity (UNVA) and the binocular defocus curve were measured.

Introduction: Fungal keratitis is a leading cause of corneal blindness, with current antifungal treatments having limited efficacy. One promising treatment modality is Rose Bengal (RB) photodynamic antimicrobial therapy (PDAT) that has shown mixed success against fungal keratitis. Therefore, there is a need to explore the antimicrobial efficacy of other green-light activated photosensitizers that have deep penetration in the cornea to combat the deep fungal infections, such as Erythrosin B (EB) and Eosin Y (EY).

Purpose: To explore the associations between myopia defocus dosage (MDD), aberration coefficients (primary spherical aberration and coma), and axial elongation in children undergoing orthokeratology (ortho-k) with back optic zone diameters (BOZD) of 5 mm and 6 mm over 2 years.
Methods: Data from 80 participants from two ortho-k studies were analyzed: 22 and 58 children wore lenses with 5-mm and 6-mm BOZD, respectively. Four MDD metrics were calculated from corneal topography data over a 5-mm pupil for the 1-month and 24-month visits: the circumferential, flat, steep, and volumetric MDD.

Photic phenomena are more pronounced in presbyopia-corrected than in monofocal intraocular lens (IOL), causing dissatisfaction after cataract surgery. Photic Phenomena Test (PPT) quantifies photic phenomena in eyes with two types of presbyopia-corrected IOL. We examined the relationship between preoperative eye shape and pupil diameter.

In vivo confocal microscopy (IVCM) is a non-invasive imaging technique used to visualize the layers of the cornea and conjunctiva in real time. In patients with atopic keratoconjunctivitis (AKC) and vernal keratoconjunctivitis (VKC), this technology can be useful in diagnosing and monitoring the disease, as well as evaluating the efficacy of treatments. IVCM can reveal subclinical abnormalities in the corneal and conjunctival epithelium such as inflammatory cell infiltrates and tissue damage, which can provide insight into the pathogenesis of AKC.
