Purpose: To report a modified rectangular loop suture technique for patients with refractory pupillary optic capture after intraocular lens scleral fixation.Methods: A modified rectangular loop suture was performed in four patients with persistent pupillary capture despite medication and laser iridotomy. A loop suture pattern was designed in the two quadrants without the scleral fixation knot. A 2 mm loop suture point was marked 2 mm away from the corneal limbus. The suture point was similarly marked in the opposite quadrants. Small conjunctival incisions were made at a marked point and a non-absorbable 10-0 prolene long needle was passed. The needle was inserted at the 1 o’clock position through the conjunctival incision and passed between the intraocular lens and the iris plane. Then it was withdrawn using a 26-gauge (G) syringe from the 8 o’clock position in the opposite quadrant. Similarly, the needle was passed from the 7 o’clock position under the conjunctiva, and pulled out of the sclera at the 2 o’clock position. It was then passed to the 1 o’clock position under the conjunctiva and a knot was made and buried. The operation was completed without closure of the conjunctival incision.Results: In all four eyes, pupillary optic capture was corrected and remained stable without recurrence for an average of 7.25 months.Conclusions: The modified rectangular loop suture may be useful for refractory pupillary capture cases. The procedure is relatively simple and minimizes scleral exposure to the conjunctival suture. It is expected that this may reduce patient discomfort.

Purpose: To report successful graft reattachment using atropine after Descemet’s membrane stripping automated endothelial keratoplasty (DSAEK) in iris deformity.Case summary: A 76-year-old male was referred for decreased visual acuity due to bullous keratopathy in his right eye. He had previously undergone several eye surgeries, including vitrectomy and intraocular lens fixation, because of retinal detachment, which caused the iris deformity. DSAEK was performed, but the graft detached because of an air bubble in the posterior chamber. Atropine was used to move the air into the anterior chamber. The graft was attached the next day, and maintained during 3 months of follow-up.Conclusions: Atropine is an effective treatment option for cases with air bubble migration to the posterior chamber, leading to graft detachment after DSAEK in iris deformity.

Purpose: To analyze short-term changes in anterior chamber depth (ACD) immediately and 1 month after traumatic hyphema.Methods: Thirty-two patients with traumatic hyphema treated from October 2015 to July 2019 were retrospectively reviewed. Nineteen were followed-up for 1 month. The ACDs were measured using an IOL Master 500 platform and the differences between the affected and contralateral eyes immediately after trauma and 1 month after treatment analyzed. The ACD differences between the affected and contralateral eyes of those with gross and microscopic hyphema and the correlations between the ACD differences of the two eyes were analyzed by age.Results: The average age was 36.0 ± 14.2 years and 24 patients were male (75%). The ACDs of affected eyes were greater than those of contralateral eyes both immediately after trauma (3.81 ± 0.38 vs. 3.55 ± 0.43 mm; p = 0.021) and 1 month after trauma (3.73 ± 0.37 vs. 3.61 ± 0.37 mm; p = 0.001). The ACD gaps and ACD/axial length ratios (%) did not differ significantly between the injured and contralateral eyes of the gross and microscopic hyphema groups immediately after trauma (p = 0.951/0.981). The ACDs of affected eyes decreased 1 month after trauma compared to immediately after trauma (3.73 ± 0.37 vs. 3.87 ± 0.40 mm; p = 0.013). The ACD difference immediately after trauma increased significantly with older age (R = 0.387, p = 0.018).Conclusions: The ACDs of eyes with traumatic hyphema increased significantly compared to those of the contralateral eyes immediately after trauma. The ACDs decreased after treatment but 1 month later were still significantly greater than the ACDs of the contralateral side.
目的:分析外伤性前房积血后即刻及1个月前房深度(ACD)的短期变化。方法:对2015年10月至2019年7月收治的32例外伤性前房积血患者进行回顾性分析。19例随访1个月。使用IOL Master 500平台测量ACDs，并分析创伤后立即和治疗后1个月患眼与对侧眼之间的差异。按年龄分析肉眼和显微前房积血患者患侧眼与对侧眼的ACD差异及两眼ACD差异的相关性。结果:平均年龄36.0±14.2岁，男性24例(75%)。伤后即刻受累眼ACDs均大于对侧眼(3.81±0.38 vs 3.55±0.43 mm;P = 0.021)和创伤后1个月(3.73±0.37 vs. 3.61±0.37;P = 0.001)。肉眼和显微镜下前房积血组损伤眼与对侧眼的ACD间隙和ACD/轴长比(%)差异无统计学意义(p = 0.951/0.981)。伤后1个月患眼ACDs较即刻降低(3.73±0.37 vs 3.87±0.40 mm;P = 0.013)。外伤后即刻ACD差异随年龄增大而显著增加(R = 0.387, p = 0.018)。结论:外伤性前房积血眼的ACDs明显高于对侧眼。治疗后ACDs有所下降，但1个月后仍明显大于对侧ACDs。

Purpose: To describe the clinical characteristics and surgical outcomes of patients with myopic tractional maculopathy (MTM) who underwent macular buckling (MB) surgery using a novel L-shaped buckle.Methods: A titanium stent, a style 507 sponge, and a silicone sleeve were used to create an L-shaped macular buckle. The titanium stent was bent through 90° over the last third. The sponge was cut to about 1 cm in length and placed on the extremity. The remaining part of the stent was then covered with a 2-cm-long silicone sleeve; the total buckle length was 3 cm. The buckle was implanted supero-temporally to allow access to the macular region. Intraoperative optical coherence tomography (Zeiss Rescan 700, Carl Zeiss, Jena, Germany) was performed to ensure that the buckle was appropriately positioned.Results: Three patients with MTM underwent MB surgery under general anesthesia. In all patients, the foveae lay at the greatest distances possible from the posterior staphyloma. Given the location of the posterior staphyloma and the posterior scleral expansion, anteroposterior traction was evident in every patient. After surgery, although the extent varied, all patients exhibited reduced anteroposterior traction, evidenced by decreased retinoschisis, staphyloma flattening, and smaller macular holes. In one case, vitrectomy was added to release epiretinal membrane-induced tangential traction. No patient reported any significant ocular complication after surgery.Conclusions: MB using an L-shaped buckle, safely and efficiently relieves anteroposterior traction and improves the macular anatomy in patients with MTM.

Purpose: Reading speed and visual perception are used to evaluate visual function in children with amblyopia. This study used standardized tests to evaluate binocular reading performance and visual motor function in children treated for unilateral refractive amblyopia.Methods: In a prospective pilot study, reading and visual perception were evaluated in children aged 5-12 years who were diagnosed with unilateral refractive amblyopia between September 2020 and March 2021. To evaluate reading skills, the Readability Diagnostic Assessment and Korean Language-based Reading Assessment (KOLRA) were administered. The Korean version of the Developmental Test of Visual Perception-Third Edition (K-DTVP-3) test was used to evaluate visual perception function.Results: Reading ability and visual perception function were evaluated in 10 patients with unilateral refractive amblyopia. In the reading fluency test, the average reading speed of the patients was 185 ± 78.2 words per minute (WPM), and did not differ from that of the control group provided by KOLRA (p > 0.05). The general visual perception score was not significantly different from that of the controls. Among subtests of the K-DTVP-3, the hand coordination and figure-background tests scored 32.3 ± 17.7% and 29.9 ± 18.7%, respectively, lower than 50% of the normal average. The scores of the eye-hand coordination (r2 = 0.585, p = 0.01) and figure-background (r2 = 0.482, p = 0.03) tests were significantly correlated with the subject’s best-corrected visual acuity.Conclusions: In this study, there was no significant difference in reading fluency between the patients and controls. Among the K-DTVP-3 subtests, the average scores of the hand coordination and figure-background tests were lower than normal. Further studies are required to determine whether the reading fluency test and K-DTVP-3 reflect visual perception deficits in amblyopic patients.

Purpose: We report a case of aqueous misdirection syndrome triggered by pilocarpine use after laser iridotomy, which was treated by pars plana vitrectomy and phacoemulsification.Case summary: A 48-year-old female patient presented with sudden-onset right eye pain and decreased vision. The patient had presented to another institute with similar symptoms 20 days prior; she had been diagnosed with acute angle closure. Laser iridotomy was performed, followed by administration of pilocarpine twice daily. In the right eye, visual acuity was hand motion, and intraocular pressure was 31 mmHg. The laser iridotomy site was located at the 11 o’clock position; microcysts, anterior chamber cells, corneal endothelium precipitates, and glaukomflecken were observed. The anterior chamber was shallow due to forward movement of the lens and iris. Despite the application of atropine and pressure-lowering eyedrops, anterior chamber shallowing continued along with a progressive myopic shift of -4.5 diopters. Therefore, the patient was diagnosed with aqueous misdirection syndrome. Pars plana vitrectomy was performed, followed by phacoemulsification, intraocular lens insertion, and posterior capsulotomy. During surgery, vitreous inflammation, a peripheral snowball, and an anterior hyaloid inflammatory membrane were observed, indicating the presence of intermediate uveitis.Conclusions: The administration of miotics after laser iridotomy, intraocular inflammation, and uveitis can lead to aqueous misdirection syndrome. Effective treatment of aqueous misdirection syndrome involves controlling inflammation and performing surgery.

Purpose: To develop a deep learning model to predict visual acuity (VA) outcomes after 12 months of anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (anti-VEGF) treatment.Methods: A total of 330 treatment-naive eyes of neovascular age-related macular degeneration patients, who underwent anti-VEGF therapy between 2007 and 2020 at Konkuk University medical center, were included. The network was trained using VA at baseline, VA after three loading doses of anti-VEGF, and treatment regimen data. It was also trained using 12,300 augmented optical coherence tomography (OCT) B-scan images at baseline and after three loading doses of anti-VEGF. We generated five deep learning models using sequentially input data (VA and OCT B-scan images at baseline and after three loading doses, and treatment regimen). Prediction of VA at 12 months was performed using deep learning algorithms, such as convolutional neural network and multilayer perceptron. The outcomes were dichotomized based on whether the decremental change in VA during the 12 months of treatment was more or less than logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution 0.3. Predictive efficiency was assessed by comparing the performance of deep learning models.Results: The best performing model was trained using input data, including VA at baseline and after three loading doses, treatment regimen, and OCT B-scan images at baseline and after three loading doses. The decremental outcome in VA after 12 months of anti-VEGF treatment was predicted as an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.79. The addition of OCT images at baseline and after three loading doses as input data improved the AUC, sensitivity, and negative predictive value (AUC 0.74-0.79, 0.58-0.86, and 0.90-0.95, respectively).Conclusions: Our deep learning model showed relatively good performance in classifying good or poor post-treatment VA based on combined clinical information including numerical and image data.

Purpose: To explore the subjective eye health status of Korean adolescents by the extent of Internet use in 2009-2010 and smartphone use in 2020.Methods: We secondarily analyzed the results of the Korea Youth Risk Behavior Survey performed by the Korean Disease Control and Prevention Agency that enrolled Korean adolescents aged 12-18 years. Changes in internet use time from 2009 to 2019 and smartphone use in 2020 were examined. Questionnaires exploring subjective eye health were administered in 2009, 2010, and 2020. We performed complex logistic regression analysis.Results: A total of 748,490 subjects were enrolled. Korean adolescents used the Internet for an average of 2.48 hours (h) on weekdays and 4.06 h on weekends in 2019, thus significantly more than the 2009 averages of 1.93 h on weekdays and 2.96 h on weekends (both p < 0.001). In 2009 and 2010, the average internet use time on weekends significantly and positively correlated with subjective eye problems (odds ratio = 1.161, p < 0.001). The average smartphone use time was 4.72 h on weekdays and 6.56 h on weekends in 2020. In that year, the average smartphone use time on weekends (odds ratio = 1.049, p < 0.001) and smartphone overdependence (odds ratio = 8.636, p < 0.001) significantly and positively correlated with the presence of subjective health problems.Conclusions: Internet and smartphone use time on weekends affect subjective eye health.

Purpose: To investigate ocular asymmetry status 5 years after cranioplasty in children with unilateral coronal craniosynostosis.Methods: The medical records of 41 children who underwent cranioplasty at a mean age of 11.7 months were retrospectively reviewed. The cranial vault asymmetry index (CVAI) and the amount of head tilt were measured on images obtained before cranioplasty. Presence of anisometropia, aniso-astigmatism, amblyopia, and strabismus was evaluated at a mean age of 6.8 years. Correlations among the CVAI, direction of synostotic suture and ocular asymmetries were analyzed.Results: Before cranioplasty, the CVAI was 4.5%; 31 of 41 patients (75.6%) exhibited head tilting, which was contralateral to the synostotic suture site in 29 of these patients. At a mean of 5.6 years after cranioplasty, anisometropia of ≥ 1.00 diopters on the spherical equivalent was present in 9 patients (22.0%) and aniso-astigmatism of ≥ 1.00 diopters in 10 patients (24.4%). Amblyopia was in 15 patients (36.6%); the eye contralateral to the synostotic suture was more frequently affected, and anisometropic amblyopia was the most common subtype. Strabismus was present in 28 patients (68.3%); exodeviation and vertical deviation were the most common subtypes. The non-dominant eye was the eye ipsilateral to the synostotic suture in 12 of 13 patients (92.3%) with simulated superior oblique palsy and in 7 of 10 patients (70.0%) with dissociated vertical deviation. In children with CVAI of ≥ 5%, anisometropia was significantly more common than in other children (p = 0.04), but we found no relationship between any other type of ocular asymmetry and a high CVAI.Conclusions: Ocular asymmetries including anisometropia, aniso-astigmatism, amblyopia, and strabismus were observed even 5 years after successful cranioplasty treatment for unilateral coronal craniosynostosis, emphasizing the need for continuous ophthalmic follow-up.

Purpose: To report a case of full-thickness macular hole (FTMH) formation secondary to demarcation laser retinopexy in a retinal break with localized retinal detachment patient.Case summary: A 59-year-old male visited our clinic with ocular discomfort in both eyes. Uncorrected visual acuity (UCVA) was 0.63 in right eye. Large retinal break in 1:30 o/c, localized retinal detachment and laser marking scars all around the right eye were found in fundoscopic exam. Posterior-vitreous detachment or vitreomacular traction was not observed in optical coherence tomography (OCT). Demarcation laser retinopexy was performed around the margin of retinal detachment and peripheral degenerative lesions. Three months after demarcation laser retinopexy, UCVA in right eye of the patient was decreased to 0.16 and full thickness macular hole was observed on OCT examination. Pars planar vitrectomy, internal limiting membrane peeling, and SF6 gas tamponade were performed in the right eye. One month after the surgery, closure of FTMH was observed. Three months after surgery, there were no recurrence of FTMH in the right eye.Conclusions: Demarcation laser photocoagulation of localized retinal detachments may predispose to FTMH formation. Even though it can be occurred rarely, follow-up check-up is necessary in consideration of the possibility of FTMH, which can cause serious visual loss.
