Background: Cycloplegic refraction is an essential part of the pediatric ophthalmic assessment and is the cornerstone of strabismus evaluation. This narrative review aimed to ascertain the current scope of practice for cycloplegic refraction in the pediatric population. Methods: An extensive literature review was conducted using ScienceDirect, PubMed/MEDLINE, Scopus, and Google Scholar databases using the following search terms: cyclopentolate, tropicamide, pediatric cycloplegia, atropine, homatropine, manual retinoscope, handheld autorefractometer, spherical errors, and no spherical errors of refraction in articles published from January 2000 to December 2022. Relevant retrieved references and practical points concerning pediatric cycloplegic refraction were summarized. Results: Atropine has the most potent cycloplegic effect and is best used in cases of severe accommodative esotropia. Because of the unfavorable side effects and risks associated with atropine, cyclopentolate has been found to provide quite effective cycloplegia, even for moderate to severe hyperopia, and has become the standard agent for traditional pediatric cycloplegic exams. Tropicamide has also been shown to provide adequate cycloplegia while being less toxic and causing fewer side effects. Tropicamide has the fewest side effects and toxicity of all agents, while atropine has the most. Cyclopentolate is an exceptionally safe cycloplegic agent. To detect spherical and non-spherical refractive errors, refraction can be performed using a handheld autorefractometer or a manual retinoscope, as well as under general anesthesia in some cases. The optimal time to wear eyeglasses to maintain binocular vision and avoid amblyopia is also considered. Conclusions: Accommodative power in children is at its maximum, and this interferes with reliable - assessment of refraction. Therefore, the use of cycloplegic refraction is mandatory during childhood to obtain actual refraction, which is considered the cornerstone for eyeglass prescription. Knowledge of the various cycloplegic agents used in childhood refraction is important for ophthalmologists and optometrists to obtain safe and effective cycloplegia. High refractive errors, as well as the presence of anisometropia or squint, necessitate the use of eyeglasses as early as childhood to maintain binocularity and depth perception.
背景:睫状体麻痹性屈光是儿童眼科评估的重要组成部分,是斜视评估的基石。这篇叙述性的回顾旨在确定目前的实践范围为小儿人群的单眼麻痹屈光。方法:使用ScienceDirect、PubMed/MEDLINE、Scopus和Google Scholar数据库进行广泛的文献综述,检索词为:环戊酸酯、托品酰胺、小儿独眼瘫、阿托品、homatropine、手动视网膜镜、手持式自动折射仪、球面误差和无球面折射误差,检索时间为2000年1月至2022年12月发表的文章。综述了小儿睫状体麻痹屈光的相关文献及应用要点。结果:阿托品具有最有效的单眼麻痹作用,适用于严重调节性内斜视。由于与阿托品相关的不良副作用和风险,环戊酸酯已被发现提供相当有效的单眼截瘫,甚至对于中度至重度远视,并已成为传统儿童单眼截瘫检查的标准药物。Tropicamide也被证明可以提供足够的单眼麻痹,同时毒性更小,副作用更少。在所有药物中,托品酰胺的副作用和毒性最小,而阿托品的副作用和毒性最大。环戊酸酯是一种非常安全的麻痹剂。为了检测球形和非球形屈光不正,可以使用手持式自动屈光计或手动视网膜镜进行屈光检查,在某些情况下也可以在全身麻醉下进行。同时还考虑了维持双眼视力和避免弱视的最佳配戴时间。结论:儿童的调节能力是最大的,这干扰了可靠的屈光评估。因此,在儿童时期必须使用睫状体麻痹验光来获得实际的屈光,这被认为是眼镜处方的基石。了解儿童屈光中使用的各种睫状体麻痹药物对眼科医生和验光师获得安全有效的睫状体麻痹非常重要。高度屈光不正,以及屈光参差或斜视的存在,需要在童年早期使用眼镜来维持双眼和深度感知。

Background: Changes in blood sugar levels cause alterations in the anterior segment and retina of the eye. This study was aimed at evaluating corneal topography, aberrometry, and corneal asphericity in patients with treatment-naive type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Methods: Participants with treatment-naive T2DM were enrolled in this cross-sectional study. The inclusion criteria were glycated hemoglobin A1c (Hb A1c) greater than or equal to 7.5% and absence of other ocular or systemic diseases. Patients who refused to participate or had a history of topical or systemic steroid use, hyperlipidemia, hypertension, anemia, prior ocular disorder or surgery, diabetic retinopathy, glaucoma, cataract, active ocular inflammatory or infectious disease, or contact lens use were excluded. All participants underwent a comprehensive ophthalmic examination. The Pentacam HR Scheimpflug tomography system (Pentacam High Resolution; Oculus, Wetzlar, Germany) was used to measure the anterior-segment parameters. Results: Sixty eyes of 30 patients with a male-to-female ratio of 1:1 were included; the mean (standard deviation [SD]) age and Hb A1c were 51.63 (6.73) years and 8.82% (1.31%), respectively. The mean (SD) values of central corneal thickness, root mean square (RMS) of total aberration, RMS of lower-order aberrations, RMS of higher-order aberrations, spherical aberration, 0° coma, 90° coma, flat anterior keratometry (K), steep anterior K, mean anterior K, anterior topographic astigmatism, flat posterior K, steep posterior K, mean posterior K, posterior topographic astigmatism, anterior corneal asphericity, and posterior corneal asphericity were 540.22 (24.47) µm, 1.72 (0.73) µm, 1.63 (0.73) µm, 0.51 (0.17) µm, + 0.31 (0.09) µm, - 0.06 (0.15) diopters (D), 0.003 (0.21) D, 43.87 (1.49) D, 44.69 (1.50) D, 44.28 (1.44) D, + 0.82 (0.83) D, - 6.25 (0.27) D, - 6.55 (0.31) D, - 6.40 (0.28) D, - 0.30 (0.15) D, - 0.32 (0.12) Q-value, and - 0.47 (0.17) Q-value, respectively. Conclusions: We presented the mean values of Pentacam parameters for aberrometry, keratometry, and corneal asphericity in patients with treatment-naive T2DM. These values could serve as a baseline for prospective monitoring of the ocular health status of this cohort and for comparison with future cohorts of patients with well-controlled T2DM. Further studies are required to assess the presence and applicability of ocular changes following intensive blood glucose control in T2DM and further understand the related pathophysiology.
背景:血糖水平的变化引起眼球前段和视网膜的改变。本研究旨在评估未接受治疗的2型糖尿病(T2DM)患者的角膜地形图、像差测量和角膜非球形度。方法:未接受治疗的T2DM患者被纳入这项横断面研究。纳入标准为糖化血红蛋白A1c (Hb A1c)大于或等于7.5%,无其他眼部或全身性疾病。拒绝参与或有局部或全身类固醇使用史、高脂血症、高血压、贫血、既往眼部疾病或手术、糖尿病视网膜病变、青光眼、白内障、活动性眼部炎症或感染性疾病或使用隐形眼镜的患者被排除在外。所有参与者都进行了全面的眼科检查。Pentacam高分辨率成像系统(Pentacam High Resolution;Oculus, Wetzlar, Germany)用于测量前段参数。结果:纳入30例患者60只眼,男女比例为1:1;平均(标准差[SD])年龄为51.63(6.73)岁,糖化血红蛋白为8.82%(1.31%)。角膜中央厚度、总像差的均方根、低阶像差的均方根、高阶像差的均方根、球差、0°彗发、90°彗发、平角度数(K)、前角陡K、平均前角K、前面地形散光、平角后K、后角陡K、平均后角K、后角地形散光、前角非球度、后角非球度的均方根(SD)值分别为540.22(24.47)µm、1.72(0.73)µm,1.63µm(0.73), 0.51(0.17)µm + 0.31(0.09)µm - 0.06(0.15)度(D), 0.003 (0.21), 43.87 (1.49), 44.69 (1.50), (1.44) 44.28 D, D + 0.82 (0.83), - 6.25 (0.27) D, D - 6.55 (0.31), - 6.40 (0.28) D, D - 0.30(0.15), - 0.32(0.12)核反应能量,和- 0.47(0.17)核反应能量。结论:我们给出了戊他康对初治T2DM患者的像差测量、角膜测量和角膜非圆度的平均值。这些值可以作为前瞻性监测该队列的眼健康状况的基线,并与未来控制良好的T2DM患者队列进行比较。T2DM患者强化血糖控制后眼部变化的存在和适用性有待进一步研究,并进一步了解相关病理生理。

Background: Vernal keratoconjunctivitis (VKC), a chronic bilateral eye disease, is a severe form of allergic conjunctivitis. Anterior-segment optical coherence tomography (AS-OCT) is a rapid, noninvasive, in vivo visualization modality for the anterior segment structures that has been used in diagnosing and staging diseases and assessing the treatment efficacy. We used anterior-segment optical coherence tomography (AS-OCT) to monitor the efficacy of the tacrolimus eye ointment in managing VKC. Methods: In this prospective follow-up study, we included patients with active symptomatic VKC. All patients were treated with the 0.03% tacrolimus ophthalmic ointment twice daily for 2 months and then once daily for 1 month. All patients underwent AS-OCT before and 3 months after treatment as an objective method to assess the treatment efficacy. Results: We included 20 eyes of ten patients (nine men and one woman) with active symptomatic VKC. The mean age was 17.3 (range: 11 – 36) years, with nine patients having a palpebral type and one patient having a mixed type of VKC. Substantial flattening and reduction in the papilla size were observed in all patients at the post-treatment follow-up. AS-OCT measurements revealed significant reductions in the vertical, horizontal, and total diameters of the palpebral papillae and limbal conjunctival thickness after 3 months of treatment compared to baseline measurements (all P < 0.001). No serious adverse effects attributable to tacrolimus administration were observed in the study period. Conclusions: AS-OCT is a suitable objective method for evaluating the treatment efficacy of the 0.03% tacrolimus eye ointment in patients with VKC. Future large-scale studies including a wide range of age groups with longer follow-up periods and AS-OCT monitoring at multiple post-treatment visits are required to confirm our preliminary results. Moreover, the diagnostic accuracy of AS-OCT in monitoring patients with active VKC should be tested in comparison with objective scoring by an experienced corneal fellowship.
背景:春性角膜结膜炎(VKC)是一种慢性双侧眼部疾病,是过敏性结膜炎的一种严重形式。前段光学相干断层扫描(AS-OCT)是一种快速、无创的前段结构体内可视化方法,已被用于疾病的诊断和分期以及治疗效果的评估。我们使用前段光学相干断层扫描(AS-OCT)监测他克莫司眼膏治疗VKC的疗效。方法:在这项前瞻性随访研究中,我们纳入了有活动性症状的VKC患者。所有患者均应用0.03%他克莫司眼膏,每日2次,连用2个月,然后每日1次,连用1个月。所有患者在治疗前和治疗后3个月均行as - oct检查,客观评价治疗效果。结果:我们纳入了10例活动性症状性VKC患者(9男1女)的20只眼睛。平均年龄17.3岁(范围:11 - 36岁),眼睑型9例,混合型1例。在治疗后的随访中,所有患者的乳头都明显变平和缩小。AS-OCT测量显示,治疗3个月后,与基线测量值相比,眼睑乳头的垂直、水平和总直径和结膜厚度显著减少(均P < 0.001)。在研究期间未观察到他克莫司引起的严重不良反应。结论:AS-OCT是评价0.03%他克莫司眼膏治疗VKC患者疗效的一种合适的客观方法。未来的大规模研究,包括更大范围的年龄组,更长的随访时间和治疗后多次随访时的AS-OCT监测,需要证实我们的初步结果。此外,AS-OCT在监测活动性VKC患者中的诊断准确性应由经验丰富的角膜研究员进行测试,并与客观评分进行比较。

Impact of vision correction on the visual impairment status and quality of life score in patients with type II diabetes mellitus 视力矫正对2型糖尿病患者视力损害状况及生活质量评分的影响
Pub Date : 2023-01-14 DOI: 10.51329/mehdioptometry163

Background: Visual impairment (VI) in patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) worsens as the disease progresses. Therefore, quality of life (QOL) may also be affected. Furthermore, in the absence of macular involvement, some patients may benefit from visual intervention. However, not many Malaysians with known DM had their eyes screened or used correctable spectacles. Consequently, the QOL and VI status of patients with DM in Malaysia remain unclear. This study was aimed at determining the impact of optometric intervention on the QOL and VI status of adults with type II DM. Methods: This was a quasi-self-controlled, experimental study involving adults with known type II DM. We conducted face-to-face interviews using the low vision quality-of-life questionnaire (LVQOL). The habitual visual acuity (VA) of all participants was recorded. All participants underwent fundus photography to grade diabetic retinopathy (DR) in both eyes. Correctable VA was determined following subjective refraction when the best-corrected distance visual acuity (BCDVA) was 6 /9 and better. After a 3-week adaptation to the prescribed refractive error correction, LVQOL was repeated via a phone interview. Results: A total of 47 participants with type II DM, including 16 (34%) men and 31 (66%) women, with a mean (standard deviation [SD]) age of 49.0 (7.9) years were recruited. The age range was 32 – 59 years, and the baseline mean (SD) habitual binocular VA was 0.52 (0.31) decimal. Only 15% (n = 7 patients) of the participants had their vision tested and wore glasses; however, some were uncomfortable with the current corrections. All patients had undercorrected or uncorrected refractive errors, namely, hyperopic astigmatism (47%), myopic astigmatism (38%), hyperopia (6%), myopia (4%), and antimetropia (4%). Among the 47 participants, 89% (n = 42) had uncorrected presbyopia. The mean (SD) LVQOL score at baseline was 91.9 (17.3), which improved significantly with visual intervention to 122.8 (3.2) (P < 0.05). Refractive error corrections significantly improved the VI status (P < 0.05), as all participants achieved a BCDVA of 6 / 9 and better. Conclusions: Our findings indicate that optometric intervention is effective in improving the LVQOL and VI status of adults with type II DM. Further clinical optometric studies on type II DM with DR with a longer follow-up should be carried out to understand the clinical characteristics of this cohort and the impact of meticulous refractions on QOL in providing better services in the future.
背景:糖尿病(DM)患者的视力损害(VI)随着疾病的进展而恶化。因此,生活质量(QOL)也可能受到影响。此外,在没有黄斑受累的情况下,一些患者可能受益于视力干预。然而,并没有多少患有糖尿病的马来西亚人做过眼睛检查或使用矫正眼镜。因此,马来西亚糖尿病患者的生活质量和VI状况仍不清楚。本研究旨在确定验光干预对成人II型糖尿病患者生活质量和VI状态的影响。方法:这是一项准自我控制的实验研究,涉及已知的成人II型糖尿病患者。我们使用低视力生活质量问卷(LVQOL)进行面对面访谈。记录所有受试者的习惯视敏度(VA)。所有参与者均接受眼底摄影,对双眼糖尿病视网膜病变(DR)进行分级。当最佳矫正距离视力(BCDVA)为6 /9及以上时,通过主观屈光检查确定可矫正的视差。在对规定的屈光不正矫正进行3周的适应后,通过电话访谈重复LVQOL。结果:共招募了47名II型糖尿病患者,其中男性16名(34%),女性31名(66%),平均(标准差[SD])年龄为49.0(7.9)岁。年龄范围32 ~ 59岁,基线平均(SD)习惯性双眼VA为0.52(0.31)个十进制。只有15% (n = 7名患者)的参与者进行了视力测试并戴了眼镜;然而,一些人对当前的修正感到不安。所有患者均存在未矫正或未矫正的屈光不正,即远视散光(47%)、近视散光(38%)、远视(6%)、近视(4%)和屈光不正(4%)。在47名参与者中,89% (n = 42)患有未矫正的老花眼。基线时LVQOL平均(SD)评分为91.9分(17.3分),经视觉干预后LVQOL评分为122.8分(3.2分),差异有统计学意义(P < 0.05)。屈光不正矫正显著改善了VI状态(P < 0.05),所有参与者的BCDVA均达到6 / 9及以上。结论:我们的研究结果表明,验光干预对改善成人II型糖尿病患者LVQOL和VI状态是有效的。II型糖尿病合并DR的临床验光研究需要更长的随访时间,以了解该队列的临床特征以及精细屈光对生活质量的影响,以便在未来提供更好的服务。

We conducted face-to-face interviews using the low vision quality-of-life questionnaire (LVQOL). The habitual visual acuity (VA) of all participants was recorded. All participants underwent fundus photography to grade diabetic retinopathy (DR) in both eyes. Correctable VA was determined following subjective refraction when the best-corrected distance visual acuity (BCDVA) was 6 /9 and better. After a 3-week adaptation to the prescribed refractive error correction, LVQOL was repeated via a phone interview. \u0000Results: A total of 47 participants with type II DM, including 16 (34%) men and 31 (66%) women, with a mean (standard deviation [SD]) age of 49.0 (7.9) years were recruited. The age range was 32 – 59 years, and the baseline mean (SD) habitual binocular VA was 0.52 (0.31) decimal. Only 15% (n = 7 patients) of the participants had their vision tested and wore glasses; however, some were uncomfortable with the current corrections. All patients had undercorrected or uncorrected refractive errors, namely, hyperopic astigmatism (47%), myopic astigmatism (38%), hyperopia (6%), myopia (4%), and antimetropia (4%). Among the 47 participants, 89% (n = 42) had uncorrected presbyopia. The mean (SD) LVQOL score at baseline was 91.9 (17.3), which improved significantly with visual intervention to 122.8 (3.2) (P < 0.05). Refractive error corrections significantly improved the VI status (P < 0.05), as all participants achieved a BCDVA of 6 / 9 and better. \u0000Conclusions: Our findings indicate that optometric intervention is effective in improving the LVQOL and VI status of adults with type II DM. Further clinical optometric studies on type II DM with DR with a longer follow-up should be carried out to understand the clinical characteristics of this cohort and the impact of meticulous refractions on QOL in providing better services in the future.","PeriodicalId":370751,"journal":{"name":"Medical hypothesis, discovery &amp; innovation in optometry","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128350041","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Background: The worldwide spread of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic in 2020, followed by lockdowns, forced children to be in home confinement with increased screen time, leading to rapid progression of myopia and an increase in the prevalence of myopia. This study was aimed at determining if myopia progression seen in evidence-based practice resulted from the COVID-19 lockdown or delayed follow-ups. Methods: A retrospective review of case sheets of patients visiting the pediatric department of a tertiary care eye hospital in Mumbai, India, was conducted from 2017 onwards. We enrolled all children with myopia who had attended at least one follow-up visit before the COVID-19 lockdown and at least one follow-up visit post-lockdown. The spherical equivalent (SEQ) of refractive error values at baseline and pre- and post-COVID-19 lockdown follow-ups (hereinafter referred to as the “first” and “second” follow-ups, respectively) were recorded. The duration between baseline and the first follow-up visit and between the first and second follow-up visits were noted. Results: We enrolled 112 eyes of 56 children, including 35 (62.5%) boys and 21 (37.5%) girls, with a mean (standard deviation [SD]) age of 9.54 (2.82) years. The mean (SD) SEQ values at baseline and first and second follow-ups were - 4.74 (3.83), - 5.46 (3.81), and - 6.42 (3.66) D, respectively. The mean change in SEQ, mean SEQ myopia progression, and rate of myopia progression per month differed significantly between the baseline and the first follow-up visit versus between the first and second follow-ups (all P < 0.05). However, the change in myopia degree did not differ significantly between these two periods in eyes with low, moderate, or high myopia (all P > 0.05). The mean (SD) duration between the baseline and the first follow-up visit was 14.57 (5.68) months, while that between the first and second follow-ups was 27.96 (9.18) months, showing a significant difference (P < 0.05). Conclusions: Our findings suggest that a longer gap between follow-up visits and myopia progression per month should be factored into the management of myopia. Considering that young children are more vulnerable, preventive measures and school reforms should be urgently implemented in India. Further retrospective multicenter studies with a larger sample size of eyes, including various refractive errors over a longer period, are required to verify these findings.
背景:2020年冠状病毒病(COVID-19)大流行在全球范围内传播,随之而来的封锁迫使儿童在家隔离,屏幕时间增加,导致近视快速进展,近视患病率上升。这项研究旨在确定在循证实践中看到的近视进展是由COVID-19封锁还是延迟随访造成的。方法:回顾性分析2017年以来在印度孟买一家三级眼科医院儿科就诊的患者病例表。我们招募了所有近视儿童,这些儿童在COVID-19封锁前至少参加了一次随访,封锁后至少参加了一次随访。记录基线和新冠肺炎封城前后随访(以下分别称为“第一次”和“第二次”随访)屈光不正球当量(SEQ)值。记录基线和第一次随访之间以及第一次和第二次随访之间的持续时间。结果:纳入56例儿童112只眼,其中男孩35只(62.5%),女孩21只(37.5%),平均(标准差[SD])年龄为9.54(2.82)岁。基线和第一次和第二次随访时的平均(SD) SEQ值分别为- 4.74(3.83)、- 5.46(3.81)和- 6.42 (3.66)D。基线与第一次随访相比,第一次随访与第二次随访相比,SEQ平均变化、SEQ平均近视进展和每月近视进展率差异有统计学意义(均P < 0.05)。而低、中、高度近视眼的近视度数变化在两个时间段内无显著差异(P > 0.05)。基线与第一次随访的平均(SD)时间为14.57(5.68)个月,第一次与第二次随访的平均(SD)时间为27.96(9.18)个月,差异有统计学意义(P < 0.05)。结论:我们的研究结果表明,每月随访和近视进展之间的较长间隔应考虑到近视的管理。考虑到幼儿更容易受到伤害,印度应紧急实施预防措施和学校改革。进一步的多中心回顾性研究需要更大样本量的眼睛,包括长时间的各种屈光不正,以验证这些发现。

Background: Low vision is a major public health concern worldwide. This study was aimed at describing the characteristics of patients who had visited a low-vision rehabilitation clinic. Methods: In this retrospective study, we reviewed the medical records of patients with low vision attending a low-vision rehabilitation clinic at a tertiary referral center over 7 years. Inclusion criteria were a diagnosis of vision impairment and availability of complete records. We extracted the following data from each record: age, sex, education level, employment status, chief complaints concerning vision, associated ocular diseases, uncorrected distance and near visual acuities, best-corrected distance and near visual acuities, statuses of previous and current prescribed optical devices, and cooperation status of patients during the optometric examination. Results: We enrolled a total of 567 patients, including 338 (59.6%) men and 229 (40.4%) women, with a mean (standard deviation) age of 40.46 (28.34) years. Most (98.4%) participants were cooperative, with a high rate of unemployment (90.5%) and low education level. Half (49.2%) of the patients had moderate visual impairment. Retinal pathologies, mainly congenital (28.4%), and age-related macular degeneration (ARMD; 26.5%) were common causes of low vision. Difficulty in reading was the most frequent complaint (22.9%), and a combination of difficulties in reading, writing, and facial recognition was recorded in 54.7% of the patients. Other functional complaints were reported by at least 5% of the patients. Our multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that the likelihood of difficulties in performing in-house activities, reading, facial recognition and social interaction, and driving increased per 10-year increment in age, with odds ratios of 1.39, 1.31, 1.24, and 1.22, respectively (all P < 0.05). The likelihood of reporting three complaints (reading, writing, and facial recognition together) increased per 0.1-logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution increment in the best-corrected distance visual acuity of the better eye, with an odds ratio of 2.05 (P < 0.05). In addition, men were more likely to experience difficulties in driving and reading, while women were more likely to experience difficulties in facial recognition and social interaction or in-house activities (all P < 0.05). Optical devices for distance or near vision were prescribed to most patients. Conclusions: Most patients were men and unemployed. The most common category of low vision was moderate impairment. Retinal conditions, mainly congenital ones and ARMD, were the most frequent causes. A combination of difficulties in reading, writing, and facial recognition was the most common complaint. Optometrists should address these findings during rehabilitation therapy to treat patients with low vision.
背景:低视力是世界范围内一个主要的公共卫生问题。本研究旨在描述到访过低视力康复诊所的患者的特征。方法:在这项回顾性研究中,我们回顾了在三级转诊中心低视力康复诊所就诊的低视力患者7年来的医疗记录。纳入标准是视力障碍诊断和完整记录的可用性。我们从每条记录中提取以下数据:年龄、性别、教育程度、就业状况、视力主诉、相关眼部疾病、未矫正的远近视力、最佳矫正的远近视力、既往和目前处方的光学设备状况、患者验光时的配合情况。结果:我们共纳入567例患者,其中男性338例(59.6%),女性229例(40.4%),平均(标准差)年龄为40.46(28.34)岁。大多数(98.4%)的参与者是合作的,失业率高(90.5%),受教育程度低。半数(49.2%)患者有中度视力损害。视网膜病变,主要是先天性(28.4%)和年龄相关性黄斑变性(ARMD;26.5%)是低视力的常见原因。阅读困难是最常见的主诉(22.9%),54.7%的患者同时存在阅读、写作和面部识别困难。至少有5%的患者报告有其他功能上的不适。我们的多因素logistic回归分析显示,年龄每增加10岁,在室内活动、阅读、面部识别和社交互动以及驾驶方面出现困难的可能性增加,比值比分别为1.39、1.31、1.24和1.22(均P < 0.05)。在较好的眼睛的最佳矫正距离视力中,每增加0.1个最小分辨率增量角度,报告三种抱怨(阅读、写作和面部识别)的可能性增加,优势比为2.05 (P < 0.05)。此外,男性更容易在驾驶和阅读方面遇到困难,而女性更容易在面部识别和社交互动或内部活动方面遇到困难(均P < 0.05)。大多数患者都使用了远视或近视光学设备。结论:患者多为男性,无业。最常见的低视力类别是中度损害。视网膜疾病,主要是先天性疾病和ARMD,是最常见的原因。阅读、写作和面部识别方面的困难是最常见的抱怨。验光师在对低视力患者进行康复治疗时应注意这些发现。

Background: Vortex keratopathy is a corneal entity characterized by corneal deposits at the level of the basal epithelium in the form of a whorl-like pattern in the interpalpebral portions of the cornea. Medications such as amiodarone, chloroquine, hydroxychloroquine, indomethacin, phenothiazines, ibuprofen, and naproxen bind to the cellular lipids of the basal epithelial layer of the cornea, producing a characteristic whorl pattern. Here, we report a case of bilateral central vortex keratopathy with slight vision impairment 3 weeks after uneventful photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) in a woman on long-term clozapine treatment. Case Presentation: A 42-year-old woman presented to the outpatient clinic for refractive surgery for the correction of bilateral moderate myopia. Her best-corrected distance visual acuity was 20 / 20 in both eyes. She had been on antipsychotic clozapine tablets 400 mg / day for the past 6 years to manage a psychiatric disorder. On detailed preoperative slit-lamp examination, her corneas were clear, with perilimbal conjunctival pigmentations. Other ocular examination results were unremarkable. At the 3-week follow-up after an uneventful PRK, her uncorrected distance visual acuity was 20 / 25 in the right eye and 20 / 20 in the left eye, with complaints of slightly unclear vision in both eyes. Slit-lamp examination revealed bilateral corneal subepithelial deposits in a whorl-like pattern reminiscent of vortex keratopathy. The deposits were restricted to the epithelial and subepithelial regions and did not extend to the stroma without evident stromal haze. Dilated fundus examination results were normal bilaterally. Despite excellent refractive outcomes and visual acuity in both eyes, she was dissatisfied and complained of unclear vision. She was administered with lubricating eye drops and placed on regular follow-ups. At the 4-month follow-up, the vortex lines were cleared centrally, and she reported improvement in vision. Anterior-segment optical coherence tomography of the cornea revealed no epithelial deposits in the central part of the cornea and residual deposits in the temporal peripheral cornea, indicating clearing of the deposits from the central cornea and explaining the subjective improvement in vision. Her final best-corrected distance visual acuity was 20/20 in both eyes with an unremarkable ocular examination. Conclusions: Our case indicates a potential causal relationship between long-term clozapine treatment and development of temporary, visually significant vortex keratopathy after uneventful PRK. Further large-scale studies are required to verify the causal relationship between the long-term clozapine administration and the development of vortex keratopathy following surface ablation photorefractive procedures.
背景:漩涡角膜病是一种角膜实体,其特征是角膜基底上皮水平的角膜沉积,在角膜的睑间部分呈螺旋状。胺碘酮、氯喹、羟氯喹、吲哚美辛、吩噻嗪、布洛芬和萘普生等药物与角膜基底上皮的细胞脂结合,产生特征性的轮状图案。在此,我们报告一位长期接受氯氮平治疗的女性,在顺利的光屈光性角膜切除术(PRK)后3周出现双侧中央旋涡角膜病变并伴有轻度视力障碍。病例介绍:一名42岁女性,在门诊接受双侧中度近视矫正手术。双眼最佳矫正距离视力为20 / 20。她在过去的6年里一直服用抗精神病氯氮平片400毫克/天来治疗精神障碍。在详细的术前裂隙灯检查中,她的角膜清晰,结膜周围有色素沉着。其他眼科检查结果无显著差异。术后随访3周,患者右眼和左眼未矫正的距离视力分别为20 / 25和20 / 20,并伴有双眼轻度视力不清。裂隙灯检查显示双侧角膜上皮下呈旋涡状沉积,令人联想到旋涡角膜病。沉积物局限于上皮和上皮下区域,未扩展到间质,间质无明显模糊。双侧眼底扩张检查结果正常。尽管双眼屈光和视力都很好,但她不满意并抱怨视力不清。她服用了润滑眼药水,并定期随访。在4个月的随访中,漩涡线被清除,她报告视力有所改善。角膜前段光学相干断层扫描显示,角膜中部未见上皮沉积,颞外周角膜未见残留沉积,说明角膜中部沉积物清除,说明主观视力改善。最终双眼最佳矫正距离视力为20/20,眼部检查不明显。结论:我们的病例表明,长期氯氮平治疗与在正常PRK后发生暂时性、视觉上显著的旋涡性角膜病变之间存在潜在的因果关系。需要进一步的大规模研究来验证长期使用氯氮平与表面消融光屈光手术后漩涡性角膜病变之间的因果关系。

Background: Pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) with silicone oil (SO) injection for rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) repair may adversely affect electroretinographic responses. This study was aimed at assessing retinal function using electrodiagnostic testing after successful PPV with SO tamponade in the eyes with macula-off RRD. Methods: In this interventional comparative study, eligible participants were recruited prospectively over 1 year. We included the eyes that underwent a single successful three-port PPV with SO tamponade for the primary repair of macula-off RRD. Full-field electroretinogram (ffERG) and multifocal electroretinogram (mfERG) were recorded 1 day before and 3 days after SO removal. The amplitude and implicit time of the a- and b-waves for ffERG and P1 and N1 waves for mfERG were evaluated. The unaffected fellow eyes of the patients were selected as controls. Results: We included the ten eyes of ten patients (seven men and three women) with a mean (standard deviation) age of 58.8 (6.2) years. The mean (SD) interval between the diagnoses of macula-off RRD and PPV was 11.7 (3.6) days. The mean (SD) duration of SO tamponade was 147.8 (34.9) days. Using ffERG, significantly lower a- and b-wave amplitudes were found in the eyes before and after SO removal or compared to the unaffected fellow eyes (all P < 0.05). Using the mfERG, treated eyes had significantly lower P1 amplitudes in the central R1+R2+R3 rings and in the R4 and-R5 peripheral rings of the macular area in the eyes before and after SO removal or compared to the unaffected fellow eyes (all P < 0.05). The wave implicit time in ffERG and mfERG did not differ significantly in the eyes before and after SO removal or compared to the unaffected fellow eyes (all P > 0.05). Conclusions: The electrical retinal response density in ERG waveforms increased following SO removal, indicating amelioration of the electrical activity of the retina and macula. These results indicate that the adverse effects of SO tamponade on electroretinography responses may be reversible with removal. In addition, ffERG and mfERG can be used to monitor retinal function in the eyes with macula-off RRD and SO tamponade. Further clinical trials are required to verify the preliminary findings of this study.
背景:玻璃体切割(PPV)联合硅油(SO)注射治疗孔源性视网膜脱离(RRD)可能会对视网膜电图反应产生不利影响。本研究旨在通过电诊断测试评估无黄斑RRD患者的视网膜功能。方法:在这项干预性比较研究中,前瞻性地招募符合条件的参与者超过1年。我们纳入了接受单次成功的三孔PPV与SO填塞的眼睛,用于黄斑脱落的RRD的初级修复。取SO术前1 d、术后3 d分别记录全视场视网膜电图(ffERG)和多焦视网膜电图(mfERG)。评估了ffERG的a波和b波以及mfERG的P1波和N1波的振幅和隐含时间。选择患者未受影响的同伴眼睛作为对照。结果:我们纳入了10例患者(7男3女)的10只眼睛,平均(标准差)年龄为58.8(6.2)岁。黄斑脱落型RRD与PPV诊断的平均(SD)间隔为11.7(3.6)天。SO填塞的平均(SD)持续时间为147.8(34.9)天。使用ffERG,在SO去除前后或与未受影响的眼睛相比,眼睛的a波和b波振幅显著降低(均P < 0.05)。使用mfERG,在SO去除前后或与未受影响的眼睛相比,治疗的眼睛在黄斑区域的R1+R2+R3中心环和R4和r5周围环的P1振幅显著降低(均P < 0.05)。摘除SO前后眼ffERG和mfERG的波隐时间与未受影响眼比较差异均无统计学意义(P > 0.05)。结论:去SO后视网膜电反应密度增加,视网膜和黄斑电活动有所改善。这些结果表明,SO填塞对视网膜电图反应的不良影响可能在移除后是可逆的。此外,ffERG和mfERG可用于监测黄斑脱落性RRD和SO填塞眼的视网膜功能。需要进一步的临床试验来验证本研究的初步结果。

This study was aimed at assessing retinal function using electrodiagnostic testing after successful PPV with SO tamponade in the eyes with macula-off RRD. \u0000Methods: In this interventional comparative study, eligible participants were recruited prospectively over 1 year. We included the eyes that underwent a single successful three-port PPV with SO tamponade for the primary repair of macula-off RRD. Full-field electroretinogram (ffERG) and multifocal electroretinogram (mfERG) were recorded 1 day before and 3 days after SO removal. The amplitude and implicit time of the a- and b-waves for ffERG and P1 and N1 waves for mfERG were evaluated. The unaffected fellow eyes of the patients were selected as controls. \u0000Results: We included the ten eyes of ten patients (seven men and three women) with a mean (standard deviation) age of 58.8 (6.2) years. The mean (SD) interval between the diagnoses of macula-off RRD and PPV was 11.7 (3.6) days. The mean (SD) duration of SO tamponade was 147.8 (34.9) days. Using ffERG, significantly lower a- and b-wave amplitudes were found in the eyes before and after SO removal or compared to the unaffected fellow eyes (all P < 0.05). Using the mfERG, treated eyes had significantly lower P1 amplitudes in the central R1+R2+R3 rings and in the R4 and-R5 peripheral rings of the macular area in the eyes before and after SO removal or compared to the unaffected fellow eyes (all P < 0.05). The wave implicit time in ffERG and mfERG did not differ significantly in the eyes before and after SO removal or compared to the unaffected fellow eyes (all P > 0.05). \u0000Conclusions: The electrical retinal response density in ERG waveforms increased following SO removal, indicating amelioration of the electrical activity of the retina and macula. These results indicate that the adverse effects of SO tamponade on electroretinography responses may be reversible with removal. In addition, ffERG and mfERG can be used to monitor retinal function in the eyes with macula-off RRD and SO tamponade. Further clinical trials are required to verify the preliminary findings of this study.","PeriodicalId":370751,"journal":{"name":"Medical hypothesis, discovery &amp; innovation in optometry","volume":"27 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125978025","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Background: Uveitis is associated with several systemic disorders. It may be the initial presentation or manifestation of a systemic disease. It is the most common ocular complication and is sometimes the earliest manifestation of spondyloarthropathies. This study aimed to review the current literature on spondyloarthropathies and associated uveitis. Methods: A narrative review was performed using various combinations of the keywords spondyloarthropathies, seronegative spondylarthritis-related uveitis, and human leukocyte antigen-associated uveitis using PubMed/MEDLINE and Google Scholar from January 1, 2000, to September 30, 2022. We describe the disease mechanisms, genetics, and classification of spondyloarthropathies, the clinical patterns of their related ocular diseases, and the current modalities for the management of their ocular or systemic manifestations. Results: Seronegative spondyloarthropathies are a group of rheumatic disorders including ankylosing spondylitis, reactive arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, inflammatory bowel disease-related spondyloarthropathy, juvenile-onset spondyloarthritis, and undifferentiated spondyloarthritis. These are characterized by enthesitis in the absence of serum rheumatoid factor and have a strong association with human leukocyte antigen B27. The clinical courses and features of spondyloarthropathies are remarkably diverse. Ocular inflammation is common in spondyloarthropathies, often precedes the onset or diagnosis of systemic disease, and responds well to topical therapy. Timely diagnosis of systemic diseases may improve quality of life and help avoid ocular and skeletal complications. Recurrence of ocular inflammation is frequent; on occasion, it may be associated with etanercept administration. Conclusions: Eye care professionals should be able to recognize spondyloarthropathies, manage ocular disease, and collaborate with related specialties for modification of systemic treatment if associated with ocular complications. Timely referral and early management could attenuate or prevent ocular or systemic morbidities associated with spondyloarthropathies.
背景:葡萄膜炎与几种全身性疾病有关。它可能是全身性疾病的最初表现或表现。它是最常见的眼部并发症,有时是脊椎关节病的最早表现。本研究旨在回顾目前关于脊椎关节病和相关葡萄膜炎的文献。方法:使用PubMed/MEDLINE和Google Scholar,对2000年1月1日至2022年9月30日期间脊椎关节病、血清阴性脊柱炎相关性葡萄膜炎和人白细胞抗原相关性葡萄膜炎等关键词的不同组合进行叙述性回顾。我们描述了脊椎关节病的发病机制、遗传学和分类、相关眼部疾病的临床模式,以及目前眼部或全身表现的治疗方式。结果:血清阴性脊柱病是一类风湿性疾病,包括强直性脊柱炎、反应性关节炎、银屑病关节炎、炎症性肠病相关的脊柱病、青少年性脊柱炎和未分化性脊柱炎。这些疾病的特点是在缺乏血清类风湿因子的情况下引起炎症,并与人白细胞抗原B27密切相关。脊椎关节病的临床过程和特征是非常多样的。眼部炎症在脊椎关节病中很常见,通常先于全身性疾病的发病或诊断,并且对局部治疗反应良好。及时诊断全身性疾病可以提高生活质量,并有助于避免眼部和骨骼并发症。眼部炎症频繁复发;有时,它可能与依那西普的使用有关。结论:眼科保健专业人员应该能够识别脊椎关节病,管理眼部疾病,并与相关专业合作,修改与眼部并发症相关的全身治疗。及时转诊和早期治疗可以减轻或预防与脊椎关节病相关的眼部或全身发病率。
