The rising global incidence of myopia warrants urgent attention due to its role in predisposing individuals to vision-threatening ocular conditions, including but not limited to cataracts and glaucoma.This review seeks to delineate the current understanding of the complex relationship between myopia and cataracts, exploring both epidemiological and pathological perspectives.Notably, there is a recognized association between myopia and early-onset cataract.Persistent progression of myopia over a lifetime can induce chronic alterations in the lens, encompassing shifts in both its microenvironment and structural attributes.Moreover, managing cataracts in myopic eyes presents significant challenges due to increased surgical difficulty and a higher likelihood of perioperative complications.Consequently, it is crucial to facilitate early detection of complications, forge apt management strategies, and implement targeted interventions to mitigate the adverse effects of both cataract and cataract surgery-related visual impairments in individuals with myopia.The overarching goal remains to enhance the quality of life for those affected by myopia, especially during their most productive working years.
Abstract Background To compare the outcomes of sutured transscleral fixation and sutureless intrascleral fixation for the treatment of a dislocated intraocular lens (IOL). Methods Thirty-five eyes of 35 patients who required IOL repositioning surgery due to IOL dislocation were included in this retrospective study. Sixteen eyes underwent two-point sutured transscleral fixation, eight eyes underwent one-point sutured transscleral fixation, and 11 eyes underwent sutureless intrascleral IOL fixation. The patients were followed for ≥ 12 months after repositioning surgery, and their postoperative outcomes were recorded and analyzed. Results The major cause of IOL dislocation was ocular blunt trauma (19/35, 54.3%). The mean corrected distance visual acuity (CDVA) improved significantly after IOL repositioning (P = 0.022). The mean postoperative change in endothelial cell density (ECD) was − 4.5%. There were no significant differences in the changes in CDVA or ECD among the three groups with different repositioning techniques (both P > 0.1). The mean vertical tilt of the IOLs in all enrolled patients was significantly greater than the horizontal value (P = 0.001). The vertical tilt was greater in the two-point scleral fixation group than that in the sutureless intrascleral fixation group (P = 0.048). The mean decentration values in the one-point scleral fixation group in the horizontal and vertical directions were greater than those in the other two groups (all P < 0.01). Conclusion All three IOL repositioning techniques resulted in favorable ocular prognosis.
INTRODUCTION:To evaluate the characteristics of optic nerve head (ONH) in highly myopic eyes and its role in predicting intraocular pressure (IOP) spikes after cataract surgery. METHODS:Patients who are highly myopic and were scheduled for cataract surgery were enrolled in this prospective case series study. IOP was measured preoperatively and at 1 day and 3 days postoperatively. ONH characteristics including area, tilt ratio, lamina cribrosa (LC) thickness, and depth, and the presence of LC defects were evaluated with enhanced depth imaging optical coherence tomography. Factors influencing LC defects and early IOP spike were investigated using multivariate stepwise logistic regression. RESULTS:In total, 200 highly myopic eyes of 200 patients were analyzed: 35.00% had small ONH, 53.00% had ONH tilt, and 14.00% had LC defects. Multivariate analysis demonstrated female patients with larger ONH area and deeper LC tended to have LC defects (all P < 0.05). As to postoperative IOP, IOP change, and incidence of IOP spikes, eyes with small ONH, ONH tilt, and LC defects had similar (all P > 0.05), higher (all P < 0.05), and lower (all P < 0.05) outcomes compared with those without the corresponding characteristic, respectively. Multivariate analysis showed that presence of LC defects and thicker LC were protective factors for early IOP spikes, and axial length > 28 mm was a risk factor (all P < 0.05). CONCLUSION:Female patients with larger ONH area and deeper LC tend to have LC defects, which, together with thicker LC, was correlated with less IOP spikes in highly myopic eyes. TRIAL REGISTRATION:This study was conducted as part of a larger project, the Shanghai High Myopia Study, registered at www. CLINICALTRIALS:gov (accession number NCT03062085).
Cataract is the leading cause of visual impairment and blindness on a global scale. The pathogenesis of cataract is not completely understood. Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are a special kind of non-coding RNAs with high stability and conservation. They are widely involved in a variety of biological processes and diseases. Abnormal expression of circRNAs can participate in the development of cataract, affecting the function of lens epithelial cells through interacting with proteins and sponging microRNAs. They are possible targets for cataract prevention and treatment. This article reviews the research progress on the role of circRNAs in the occurrence and development of cataract.

The ocular biometry characteristics are clinically significant for children with unilateral congenital cataracts, but there is a lack of data analysis concerning the preoperative measurements. The axial length (AL), mean keratometry (Km), corneal astigmatism (CA), and the anterior chamber depth (ACD) from both eyes before cataract surgery were obtained from 205 patients (410 eyes, 3–15 years of age) with unilateral congenital cataracts. In the congenital cataract eyes, shorter AL (22.44 ± 1.52 mm vs. 22.57 ± 1.04 mm, p = 0.036) and higher CA (– 1.89 ± 0.91 D vs. – 1.24 ± 0.67 D, p < 0.001) were found, and no significant difference was found in the Km and the ACD measurements compared to the contralateral normal eyes. Females had shorter AL and shallower ACD compared to males. However, the Km and CA in the females were significantly larger than that in males. Shorter AL, larger Km, higher CA, and shallower ACD were also found in females who had a binocular axial difference (the value obtained by subtraction of the contralateral normal eye from the congenital cataract eye) that less than zero. The preoperative ocular biometry of shorter AL, larger Km, higher CA, and shallower ACD should be considered in females with unilateral congenital cataracts. The age and the binocular axial differences had a statistically significant correlation (r = –0.192, p = 0.006). Therefore, changes in the binocular axial differences associated with aging may enhance the guidelines for intraocular lens selection and the management of congenital cataracts.
74岁男性,因"双眼视物模糊5年,加重1年"就诊.患者25年前曾行双眼高度近视放射状角膜切开术(RK).双眼最佳矫正视力:右眼0.4(﹣6.00/﹣4.00×65°),左眼0.3﹣2(﹣6.00/﹣4.00×70°).裂隙灯检查示双眼角膜不规则RK瘢痕,瞳孔圆,直径约2 mm,晶状体混浊.诊断为双眼并发性白内障,并行左眼白内障超声乳化联合人工晶状体(IOL)植入术,手术顺利,无并发症.术前根据IOLmaster 500的结果,使用Haigis公式计算出IOL度数为5.00 D,预计术后近视﹣1.50 D.术后第20天,左眼裸眼视力0.4,矫正视力+6.50/﹣1.50×5°→0.2,等效球镜+5.75 D,屈光误差超过7 D.讨论体会:对于RK术后的患者,特别是角膜存在不规则RK瘢痕的患者,我们要采用多种方法测量角膜曲率,特别是使用Pentacam角膜地形图测量,同时选择合适的IOL计算公式.对于角膜不规则的患者,使用以瞳孔为中心,实际瞳孔大小区域内的角膜曲率SimK参数,结合Barrett True K公式,计算的IOL度数最为准确.
51岁女性,因"左眼反复视力下降2年,加重1年"就诊.2年前因左眼反复视力下降,外院诊断为左眼玻璃体积血,予左眼玻璃体切除术,术后症状未见改善.此次就诊左眼裸眼视力0.1,矫正无助,眼压有波动,最高到32.4 mmHg(1 mmHg=0.133 kPa),症状在活动时更明显.裂隙灯检查见角膜色素性KP(+),前房Tyndall(+++),前房细胞(+++),颞上方虹膜基质萎缩伴透照缺损,瞳孔欠圆,直径约4 mm,对光反应迟钝,人工晶状体(IOL)倾斜,玻璃体混浊,眼底糊.5年前曾行双眼白内障摘除联合IOL植入术,双眼高度近视病史.诊断为葡萄膜炎-青光眼-前房积血综合征(UGH),需要与白内障术后的非感染性葡萄膜炎、迟发性感染性眼内炎相鉴别.给予巩膜层间缝线固定IOL置换术,术中房角镜下见前房角色素沉着,送检房水病原菌检测阴性,房水涂片见红细胞.术后1年内随访患者眼压稳定,玻璃体混浊消退,视力提高明显.讨论体会:白内障术后远期出现的反复视力下降伴眼压升高,反复前房炎症反应在考虑UGH时,应首先排除迟发性感染性炎症的可能性.无缝线巩膜固定三片式IOL(如Yamane方法)在高度近视患者中需谨慎使用.

Purpose: To evaluate the associations between anterior segment parameters and the rotational stability of a plate-haptic toric intraocular lens (IOL). Setting: Eye and Ear, Nose, Throat Hospital of Fudan University. Design: Retrospective case series. Methods: Patients who underwent uneventful phacoemulsification and plate-haptic toric IOL (AT TORBI 709M IOL) implantation were included. Preoperative axial length (AL) and anterior segment parameters, including the white-to-white (WTW) distance, anterior chamber depth (ACD), lens thickness (LT), and anterior segment length (ASL; the sum of ACD and LT) were recorded. IOL rotation, residual astigmatism (RAS), and visual acuity were evaluated 1 month postoperatively. The associations between the anterior segment parameters and IOL rotation were evaluated. Results: A total of 102 eyes of 102 patients were included. The mean AL was 26.43 +/- 2.65 mm (range 21.71-34.60 mm). The mean IOL rotation was 4.59 +/- 3.18 degrees, and RAS was 0.62 +/- 0.39 D postoperatively. No correlation was detected between AL, ACD, or LT and the rotation of the plate-haptic toric IOL (all P >.05). However, its rotation correlated positively with the WTW distance (r = 0.250, P =.011) and ASL (r = 0.214, P =.030). Backward stepwise multiple linear regression revealed that the WTW distance (beta = 2.142, P =.014) and ASL (beta = 2.060, P =.037) were independent predictors of plate-haptic toric IOL rotation. Conclusions: Plate-haptic toric IOLs rotate more in eyes with larger WTW distances and longer ASLs; therefore, toric IOL implantation should be performed with caution in eyes with these characteristics.
Purpose: To evaluate whether dry eye deteriorates after phacoemulsification cataract surgery, and to explore the influential factors. Methods: Studies published before February 2020 indexed on PubMed and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials were retrieved. A meta-analysis, including meta-regression, a sensitivity analysis, and a subgroup analysis, were performed. Results: Twenty studies with 2,247 eyes were included in the meta-analysis, dry eye-related parameters were investigated preoperatively and 1 month postoperatively. Patients with pre-existing meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD) had worsened subjective symptoms of dry eye (1.31, 95% confidence interval (CI) [0.66, 1.95], P < 0.0001), a reduced tear break-up time (BUT) (−2.27, 95% CI [−2.66, −1.88], P < 0.0001), and a worse corneal fluorescein staining (CFS) score (0.75, 95% CI [0.5, 1.0], P < 0.0001) after phacoemulsification cataract surgery, whereas in the general population, the subjective symptoms score and CFS remained unchanged and BUT decreased slightly after surgery. Patients without diabetes showed significantly reduced total tear secretion after phacoemulsification cataract surgery (−1.25, 95% CI [−1.62, −0.88], P < 0.0001). Conclusion: Dry eye generally remained unchanged 1 month after phacoemulsification cataract surgery. Notably, worsened symptoms and signs of dry eye were observed more frequently in patients with pre-existing MGD. Patients without diabetes were more susceptible to reduced tearing postoperatively. Clinical Trial Registration: Identifier: PERSPERO (2020: CRD42020203316).
In China where the incidence of myopia is particularly high, refractive surgery has experienced rapid acceptance during the past 20-30 years from radial keratotomy to small incision lenticule extraction and implantation of implantable collamer lenses, which have satisfied the demands for spectacle independence by a great many myopic patients. However, patients receiving early refractive surgery have gradually developed cataracts as time goes by, which implies that a post-refractive surgery era is approaching. In this era, Chinese cataract surgeons should pay attention to the challenges, which include an improvement in the accuracy of intraocular lens power calculation in post-corneal refractive surgery eyes, the explantation of implantable collamer lenses, and meeting patients' demands for spectacle independence to the greatest extent.
AIM: To describe a technique of managing intraocular lens (IOL) with deep dislocation in the vitreous cavity by performing pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) with only one pars plana incision under the direct illumination of the surgical microscope. METHODS: Patients who had in-the-bag or out-of-the-bag (spontaneous) IOL dislocation after uneventful phacoemulsification cataract extractions, with the dislocated IOL or IOL-capsular bag complex dropping completely into the vitreous since 2013 were included in our studies. The postoperative patients were followed up for 6mo. Detailed description of technique and retrospective description of eight typical cases were demonstrated in this study. RESULTS: A total of 40 surgeries were conducted using this technique. The main possible predisposing conditions included: post-vitrectomy, posterior capsule rupture or broken zonules, a history of ocular trauma, long axial length, secondary IOL implantation, chronic uveitis, retinitis pigmentosa and post-glaucoma surgery. In all eyes, the IOLs were successfully removed. No intraoperative or postoperative complications related to the procedures occurred. The preoperative corrected distance visual acuity (CDVA) ranged from 20/133 to 20/25, and at 6mo postoperatively, the CDVA was similar or the same. The intraocular pressure was all within the normal range. CONCLUSION: One-port PPV under direct vision with microscope illumination is a simple and safe surgical technique to managing IOL dislocation, which shortens the surgical time, and largely avoids surgical complications.

Objective::To compare the stability of two-haptic and four-haptic intraocular lenses (IOL) in high myopic eyes.Methods::In this retrospective case-control study, 148 high myopic patients who received uneventful phacoemulsification with the implantation of a two-haptic IOL (Tecnis ZCB00, AMO) or four-haptic IOL (MC X11 ASP, HumanOptics) during October 2016 to June 2017 at the Eye & ENT Hospital of Fudan University were selected. Of these, 54 were in the two-haptic IOL group, and 94 in the four-haptic IOL group. Follow-up was planned for six months after surgery, including routine postoperative examinations. An OPD-Scan III aberrometer was used to evaluate the decentration and tilt of the IOL, higher-order aberrations, and modulation transfer function. Comparisons of IOL decentration and tilt, and visual qualities were conducted between the two groups. An independent-sample t-test, Mann-Whitney U-test, χ2 test, and Spearman correlation test were used in statistical analyses. Results::No statistically significant difference in terms of age, gender, or best-corrected visual acuity was seen between the two groups. However, significant differences were seen between the decentration of the two-haptic IOL group and the four-haptic IOL group when they were divided into subgroups of axial lengths between 26 mm and <28 mm, and between 28 mm and <30 mm [0.26(0.15, 0.33)mm vs. 0.18(0.10, 0.24)mm, Z=-2.81, P=0.005; (0.42±0.28)mm vs. (0.18±0.07)mm, t=2.96, P=0.01]. Meanwhile, significant correlations were found between decentration and axial length in both the two-haptic IOL group ( r=0.304, P=0.027) and four-haptic IOL group ( r=0.366, P<0.001). Under conditions of a pupil size of 7 mm, better ocular and intraocular higher-order aberrations and coma were seen in the four-haptic IOL group (all P<0.05). Conclusions::For high myopic eyes, the four-haptic IOL seems to be better than the two-haptic IOL in terms of long-term IOL stability and visual quality, especially in low-light conditions.
