PURPOSE:To observe the clinical features of the macular hemorrhage in myopes. METHOD:Twenty-four patients(30 eyes)with myopic macular hemorrhage were examined with slitlamp biomicroscopy,funduscope,A/B ultrasonography,and fundus fluorecein angiography(FFA). The patients were followed up for 3~18 months(average 12 months). RESULTS: Four of 26 eyes with macular hemorrhage examined with FFA were found to be due to choroidal neovaseulature,and they were associated with posterior staphyloma. The other 22 eyes without neovascular change were thought to be simple type,and 19 of them were associated with lacquer cracks. The hemorrhage in simple type cases deminished usually within 1~3 months. CONCLUSION:Myopic macular hemorrhagic eyes of neovascular type resulted usually in recurrent hemorrhage and worse prognosis in visual acuity than those of simple type. （Chin J Ocul Fundus Dis,1996,12: 220-222）
Myopic foveoschisis (MF) has mild early symptoms, however, its course is progressive. When the secondary macular detachment or macular hole occurs, it can cause severe vision loss. Therefore, it is generally believed that MF patients should undergo surgical intervention early after the onset of symptoms to prevent them from further developing into a macular hole or macular hole retinal detachment.It is generally believed that the traction of the vitreous cortex and posterior scleral staphyloma to the retina plays an important role in the occurrence and development of MF. The operation mode is divided into vitreoretinal surgery and macular buckling, the former release the retinal traction via the vitreous body and the latter reattaches the retina via the extrascleral approach. There is no consensus on whether to perform internal limiting membrane peeling and gas tamponade in vitreoretinal surgery and the fovea-sparing internal limiting membrane peeling has become a hot topic in recent years. Compared with vitreoretinal surgery, macular buckling can release the traction of the retina caused by posterior scleral staphyloma, but it cannot relieve the traction in the tangential direction of the retina. Vitreoretinal surgery and extrascleral surgery seems to make up the shortcomings of both, however, the effect of treatment on patients still needs further verification. In clinical work, it is necessary to conduct individualized analysis of MF patients, weigh the advantages and disadvantages of each operation, and choose the most suitable operation mode for patients with different conditions. In the future, the emphasis of our work is to develop operation mode with great curative effect and less complications.
ObjectiveTo analyze the reasons for the failure of scleral buckling (SB) in the treatment of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment, and observe the efficacy and safety of re-buckling.MethodsThis was a retrospective non-comparative clinical research. From July 2014 to June 2020, patients with first-time SB failure who visited the Beijing Tongren Hospital were included in this study. There were 42 patients, including 30 males and 12 females, with the average age of 29.40±16.13 years, and they were all monocular. The retinal detachment range＜1, 1-2 and＞2 quadrants were 9, 22 and 11 eyes, respectively. The macula was involved in 38 eyes. The average logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution (logMAR) best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) was 0.99±0.57. Forty eyes and 2 eyes were performed 1 and 2 SB, and all the retina were not reattached. All patients were under general anesthesia, according to the conditions during the operation, re-freeze and located the holes under indirect ophthalmoscope. And selected the new external pressure material or retained the old one in combination with the other operations to reattaced the retina. The average follow-up time was 31.93±18.97 months. The reasons for the failure of the first surgery based on the records of this surgery were analyzed. The visual acuity changes, the rate of retinal reattachment and the occurrence of complications were observed. The visual changes were compared by paired t test.ResultsThe top three reasons for the failure were: 16 case of the displacement of the compression spine (38.10%); 9 cases of missing the retinal holes and 9 case of improper selection of compression substances (account for 21.43%, respectively); 6 cases of insufficient height of compression spine (14.29%). All of retina were reattached (100%, 42/42). The average logMAR BCVA was 0.52±0.40. The difference of logMAR BCVA between before and after surgery was statistically significant (t=6.106, P=0.000). There were a slight increase in intraocular pressure in 8 eyes, the average intraocular pressure was 25.00±2.61 mmHg (1 mmHg=0.133 kPa). No serious complications occurred after surgery.ConclusionsThe position deviation of the compression spine, the missed hole during the operation, the improper selection of external compression material, and the insufficient height of the compression spine are the main reasons for the failure of SB. After adjusting the reasons for the failure, there is still a higher rate of retinal reattachment.
ObjectiveTo analyze the clinical efficacy of scleral buckling surgery for rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) of 376 patients.MethodsA retrospective analysis was performed about 376 patients (391 eyes) who underwent scleral buckling surgery in Chengdu Aidi Eye Hospital from January 2018 to December 2019. There were 214 males (224 eyes) and 162 females (167 eyes). There were 15 binocular cases and 361 monocular cases. The average age was 37.16±16.36 years. The average course of disease was 3 months. There were 1 to more than 10 retina holes for all patients. Retinal breaks occur in all quadrants and at ora serrata. The preoperative average BCVA was 0.27 and the postoperative average BCVA was 0.41. Retinal detachment ranges was observed in 268 eyes in 1 quadrant, 97 eyes in 2-3 quadrants, 26 eyes in total, and 231 eyes with macular involvement. There were 376 eyes treated with scleral buckling, 9 eyes treated with scleral buckling combined with scleral encircling, 6 eyes treated with scleral encircling. The average follow-up time was 5 months. Postoperative follow-up was conducted to observe retinal reduction, BCVA, complications and patient compliance.ResultsAfter the first operation, retinal reattachmnents were successfully achieved in 375 eyes (95.91%); 16 eyes (4.09%) failed in retinal reattachmnents. Eight eyes were treated with scleral buckling again, 5 eyes were treated with vitrectomy silicone oil filling, and 3 eyes were treated with air injection. After the second operation, retinal reattachmnents were ultimately achieved in 16 eyes (100.00%). The average BCVA after operation was 0.15. Postoperative intraocular pressure increased by 45 eyes (11.51%). The intraocular pressure increased from the next day to 3 days after operation. The intraocular pressure was completely controlled 1-3 days after the treatment of topical medication and 20% mannitol. Vitreous and subretinal hemorrhage in 1 eye caused by drainage of the subscleral liquid. There was?no cases withpostoperative?infection.ConclusionThe retinal reattachment rate is 95.91% in 376 patients with RRD treated by scleral buckling surgery, and the visual acuity has significantly improved.
The incidence of myopia is increasing year by year and the trend of younger age is obvious. The situation of myopia prevention and control is very serious. The sclera is the target organ for the development of myopia. When myopia occurs and develops, the ultrastructure of the sclera tissue will undergo pathological changes, resulting in a decrease in its tensile strength, then progressive axial growth and posterior sclera expansion. Scleral collagen cross-linking can effectively increase the hardness and tensile strength of scleral tissue, which may have great potential in the prevention and control of myopia, especially pathological myopia. At present, the effectiveness of scleral collagen cross-linking technology in the prevention and treatment of pathological myopia researches are still in the stage of animal experiments, and there are a lot of controversies on the safety. The development of any new technology to ensure safety is the primary condition. A comprehensive understanding of the safety of scleral collagen crosslinking in the prevention and control of myopia can provide more basis and guidance for the further study of scleral collagen crosslinking.
Objectivｅ To investigate the histopathologic charact eristic of the vitreous herniation out of sclerotomy site during vitrectomy. Methods Twenty specimens of tissues herniated at vitrectomy site were collected. The paraffin sections or fresh smears were stained with hematoxylineosin and examined under light microscope. The specimens were collected from the affected eyes with rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (9 cases), traumatic retinal detachment (1 case), miscellaneous vitreous hemorrhage (6 cases) and intraocular foreign body (4 cases). Results The herniated tissues were found to be retina in 4 cases, ciliary tissue in 1 case, retina and ciliary tissue in 1 case, uvea in 1 case, and hyaloid tissue in 13 cases. Conclusion There were not only vitreous, ciliary epithelial cells and pigment containe depithelia, but also ciliary body, retina and uvea in the prolapsed tissues of sclerotomy site, which might be related to the occurence of some clinical complications.

OBJECTlVE:To evaluate the value of inhibiting effect of the verapamil(Ver)on human selcral fibroblast (HSF). METHODS:The rate al inhibition of Ver,5-Fu,heparin(Hep)and dexamethasone(Dex)to cultured HSF was respectively determined by MTT method and enzyme linked immunosorbent assay. In addition,the rate of inhibition of Ver associated with 5-Fu Hep and Dex to cultured HSF was respectively determined. RESULTS:The rate of cellular proliferation of cultured HSF was found to be significantly reduced(Plt;0.05),when the concentration of Ver was 20mg/L,and further reduced when 5-Fu,Hep or Dex was added even in smaller dose (5~10mg/L)of Ver. CONCLUSION: Tbe effect of inhibition of cellular proliferation of 5-Fu, Hep and Dex in eye could be enbenced by Ver. （Chin J Ocul Fundus Dis,1996,12: 98-100）
The occurrence and development of myopia is closely related to scleral remodeling. Therefore, in order to effectively prevent and cure myopia, it is very important to clarify the mechanism of scleral remodeling. In recent years, Chinese scholars have found that endoplasmic reticulum stress can regulate the expression of apoptotic proteins through the inositol demand protein-1/X box binding protein-1 pathway in the unfolded protein response, thus it is involved in regulating the state of scleral fibroblasts under hypoxia and regulating the occurrence and development of scleral remodeling. At the same time, some studies have found that inhibiting and knocking out protein kinase RNA-like endoplasmic reticulum kinase and activated transcription factor 6 in endoplasmic reticulum stress can effectively inhibit the growth of ocular axis. This proves that endoplasmic reticulum stress plays an important role in the occurrence and development of scleral remodeling. However, the comprehensive analysis of endoplasmic reticulum stress and scleral remodeling has not been reported at home and abroad. In-depth analysis of the relationship between endoplasmic reticulum and scleral remodeling is of great significance for the follow-up analysis and study of the mechanism of scleral remodeling.
Objective To evaluate the causes of the metamorphopsia in patients with reattached retina after scleral buckling surgery. Methods Amsler grid test, ophthalmoscopic examination, fundus fluores cein angiography (FFA) and optical coherence tomography (OCT) were performed on 79 patients (79 eyes) with reattached retina at the 2nd week, 2nd, 6th month and 1st year after scleral buckling operation. Results Two weeks after the operation, 51 patients (51 eyes, 64.56%) complained of metamorphopsia,and 44 patients (44 eyes, including 35 with and 9 without metamorphopsia) were examined by OCT and FFA. In patients with metamorphopsia, the results of OCT in 31 (88.57%) revealed abnormal macula with seven kinds consisting mostly of stratum neuroepithelium detachment (74.29%), while of FFA in 6 patients showed abnormal macular (17.14%) including 4 with neuroepithelium detachment (66.67%). In patients without metamorphopsia, abnormal macula could be found in 2 by OCT while nothing special was seen in FFA. Most abnormal macula in patients followed-up 2 months, 6 months and 1 year postoperatively meliorated as time went by, with alleviative or disappeared metamorphopsia; while the patients with persistently existing macular membrane had aggravating metamorphopsia. Conclusions Abnormal macula is the main reason for metamorphopsia after scleral buckling surgery. Neuroepithelium detachment and macular membrane are the main causes of metamorphopsia at the early and terminal stage after operation.(Chin J Ocul Fundus Dis，2004，20：94-97)
ObjectiveTo observe the clinical characteristics and surgical outcomes in patients with retinal detachment associated with atopic dermatitis (AD-RD). MethodsA retrospective case series. From January 2015 to April 2023, 8 patients (12 eyes) with AD-RD at Zhongshan Ophthalmic Center of Sun Yat-sen University were included. All patients underwent best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), ultra-wide-field fundus photography, B-mode ultrasound, ultrasound biomicroscopy (UBM), and wide-field optical coherence tomography (OCT). BCVA was examined by standard logarithmic visual acuity chart and was converted into logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution (logMAR) visual acuity for statistical purposes. In the primary surgery, 9 eyes underwent scleral buckling; 1 eye underwent pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) combined with silicone oil tamponade; 1 eye underwent PPV combined with C3F8 tamponade; 1 eye underwent C3F8 tamponade combined with retinal laser photocoagulation. The follow-up time was (29.1±40.9) months. BCVA before and after surgery was compared using paired t test. ResultsAmong the 8 patients, 6 were male and 2 were female. The mean age was (23.38±7.95) years old. Among them, 4 patients had bilateral affliction while the remaining 4 had unilateral involvement. The logMAR BCVA was 0.86±0.86. All 12 eyes were with a history of uveitis. Among 8 eyes with bilateral involvement, 6 of them were misdiagnosed as uveitis with exudative retinal detachment; 11 eyes had anterior uveitis at presentation; 9 eyes had a history of cataract, with 4 eyes having concurrent cataract and 5 eyes with intraocular lens. All affected eyes displayed as focal retinal detachment. UBM revealed ciliary epithelial detachment in 9 eyes, and no definite ciliary epithelial break was found in any case. Retinal breaks were observed in only 2 eyes in the pre-surgery retina examination, while ciliary epithelial holes were discovered in other 10 eyes during surgery. The retina was successfully reattached in 10 eyes after one surgery, including 9 eyes received scleral buckling. During the final follow-up, the logMAR BCVA of the affected eye improved significantly to 0.30±0.25 compared to pre-surgery values (t=2.43, P=0.03). ConclusionsAD-RD is a challenging complication of AD with a high rate of young onset, bilateral involvement, associated with concurrent cataracts, and shallow temporal retinal detachment associated with ciliary epithelial detachment. Scleral buckling is an effective treatment for AD-RD.
