Purpose: To evaluate the medium-term impact of small incision lenticule extraction (SMILE) on air-puff tonometry (APT) and how it may be corrected.
Methods: In this controlled prospective study, 69 eyes from 69 patients treated with SMILE for high myopia (mean: -7.22 diopters) were included. Central corneal thickness (CCT), spherical equivalent refraction (SEQ), corneal power, and intraocular pressure (IOP) (assessed by APT) were measured before and 3 months after surgery.
Results: The measured IOP decreased significantly after SMILE surgery (mean: -6.43 mm Hg), indicating a significant underestimation of the true IOP by APT. There was a significant correlation between change in SEQ, CCT, and apparent IOP. Correcting the apparent IOP measurement by applying a multiple regression correction did not provide significantly better estimates compared to adding 6.4 mm Hg to the measurement.
Conclusions: This study showed that previous SMILE surgery should be considered when interpreting APT measurements, because the measurements underestimate the true IOP. Multiple regressions cannot estimate the true IOP with certainty. For screening purposes, adding 6.4 mm Hg to the apparent IOP of a patient treated for high myopia may be sufficient. .

Quantitative analysis of retinal vascular parameters changes in school-age children with refractive error using artificial intelligence.
Front Med (Lausanne)
December 2024
The Department of Ophthalmology of the First Affiliated Hospital, Gannan Medical University, Ganzhou, Jiangxi, China.
Aim: To quantitatively analyze the relationship between spherical equivalent refraction (SER) and retinal vascular changes in school-age children with refractive error by applying fundus photography combined with artificial intelligence (AI) technology and explore the structural changes in retinal vasculature in these children.
Methods: We conducted a retrospective case-control study, collecting data on 113 cases involving 226 eyes of schoolchildren aged 6-12 years who attended outpatient clinics in our hospital between October 2021 and May 2022. Based on the refractive spherical equivalent refraction, we categorized the participants into four groups: 66 eyes in the low myopia group, 60 eyes in the intermediate myopia group, 50 eyes in the high myopia group, and 50 eyes in the control group.
Impact of central corneal astigmatism on postoperative visual outcomes in patients undergoing trifocal intraocular lens implantation.

Background: To investigate the impact of central corneal astigmatism on postoperative visual outcomes in patients with trifocal intraocular lens (IOL) implantation.
Methods: This retrospective study included 278 eyes of 278 patients who underwent uneventful cataract surgery with implantation of the trifocal IOL (AT LISA tri 839MP). Patients were divided into two groups according to the total corneal refractive power (TCRP) in 3 mm zone centered on the corneal apex: low astigmatism group, TCRP ≤ 0.
Effect of size of capsulorhexis on the outcome of cataract surgery: a protocol for systematic review and individual participant data meta-analysis.
BMJ Open

Department of Ophthalmology, The Second Hospital of Shandong University, Jinan, Shandong, China
Introduction: In the era of functional intraocular lens (IOL) implantation, it is crucial to investigate the influence of different capsulorhexis sizes (including the diameter of the capsulorhexis, area of the anterior capsule opening, anterior capsule coverage, centration and circularity of the capsulorhexis) on the postoperative outcomes (eg, visual acuity, capsule shrinkage, IOL stability and intraocular pressure) in patients undergoing cataract surgery. This is particularly important in patients with high myopia or diabetes mellitus. The proposed protocol aims to enhance the transparency of our research and offer references for future studies.

Eurolens Research, Division of Pharmacy and Optometry, The University of Manchester, Manchester, UK.
Clinical Relevance: Knowledge of contact lens prescribing trends can (a) assist practitioners to benchmark their own prescribing habits, (b) help the contact lens industry understand preferred products, and (c) support academics in scholarly writings.
Background: This work aims to document contact lens prescribing trends in Australia over the past quarter of a century.
Methods: An annual survey of contact lens prescribing trends was conducted in Australia each year from 2000 to 2024, inclusive, by asking optometrists to provide information relating to 10 consecutive contact lens fits undertaken between January and March.
