Background And Objective: Dome-shaped macula (DSM) and tilted disc syndrome (TDS) are two macular abnormalities that may occur in eyes with high myopia. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of both entities in our population.
Patients And Methods: This was a prospective and observational study. Optical coherence tomography of the macula was performed in eyes with high myopia (spherical equivalent [SE] of -8D or greater) to assess the prevalence of DSM and TDS.
Results: Sixty-eight eyes were included. Three eyes (4.41%) had DSM and 8 (11.76%) eyes had TDS. The most common macular anomaly was posterior staphyloma (PS) (12 [17.65%]). From the eyes with DSM ( = 3), only two presented PS. An older age and a higher SE were predisposing factors for PS ( = 0.003).
Conclusions: A lower prevalence of DSM and a higher prevalence of TDS was observed in our population compared to those reported in literature. .

Spatial frequency of environments and myopia: A systematic review on associated evidence and underlying mechanisms.

Purpose: Previous animal studies have found a relationship between spatial frequency and myopia. New research in humans suggest that reduced high spatial content of the visual environment may be a contributing factor for myopia development. This study aims to review the literature and elucidate the potential biological mechanisms linking spatial frequency and myopia.

Background: In recent years, with the rapid development of machine learning (ML), it has gained widespread attention from researchers in clinical practice. ML models appear to demonstrate promising accuracy in the diagnosis of complex diseases, as well as in predicting disease progression and prognosis. Some studies have applied it to ophthalmology, primarily for the diagnosis of pathologic myopia and high myopia-associated glaucoma, as well as for predicting the progression of high myopia.

- The study investigates risk factors for proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR), a common complication after retinal detachment surgery.
- A large patient database was analyzed, identifying systemic (like age, gender, and smoking) and ocular (such as trauma and previous eye conditions) factors that correlate with increased PVR risk.
- The findings emphasize the importance of considering these risk factors in surgical planning and treatment to prevent PVR in patients with retinal detachment.

The main health problems faced by children and adolescents in China are constantly changing. Myopia, overweight and obesity, abnormal spinal curvature, and mental health issues have become the main health problems for children and adolescents. However, multidimensional health problems such as infectious diseases, chronic non-communicable diseases and injuries still coexist and present regional imbalances.

To understand the occurrence of different patterns of multimorbidity among children and adolescents aged 9-18 in Tianjin and analyze the cumulative effects of lifestyle on these patterns of multimorbidity. From September to November 2022, a stratified cluster random sampling method was used to select students from primary schools, junior high schools, general high schools, and vocational schools in 16 districts of Tianjin to screen for height, weight, blood pressure, distant vision, and diopter. One year later, a follow-up measurement and questionnaire survey were conducted.
