Hyperopic bias is particularly disliked because it affects both uncorrected distance and near visual acuity. Surgical treatment of the residual hyperopia for the eyes with both laser in situ keratomileusis and cataract surgery remains to be a big problem. Conductive keratoplasty has been shown to be an effective, safe and predictable method for low and moderate hyperopia in the pseudophakic eyes or in the eyes with kerato-refractive surgeries. However, the efficacy and safety of conductive keratoplasty in the correction of residual hyperopia after both corneal and lens refractive surgeries has not been reported. Herein, we reported the surgical correction with conductive keratoplasty for cases of residual hyperopia with/without astigmatism after previous laser in situ keratomileusis for high myopia and following phacoemulsification combined with posterior intraocular lens implantation for complicated cataract.展开更多

The preoperative refraction values were +17.75DS -1.50DC×168° for the right eye and +17.25DS -0.75DC×8° for the left eye. The uncorrected visual acuity (UCVA) was 20/200 bilaterally and the spectacle-corrected visual acuity (BSCVA) was 20/50 bilaterally. One year after Artisan iris-fixated IOL implantation, bilateral BSCVA was 20/50 with a refraction of +1.25DS -0.75DC×13° for the right eye and +1.50DS -1.00DC×55° for the left eye. The outcomes of an Artisan iris-fixated IOL implantation followed to CLE with PC-IOL implantation were encouraging for the correction of extreme hyperopia. Long term follow-up examinations were necessary for further determination of the efficacy and safety of this combinational procedure.展开更多

Patients were divided into two groups according to the degree of preoperative hyperopia. Group I had less than +3.0 diopter(D) of hyperopia and group II had between +3.0 and +5.0 D of hyperopia. Postoperative alignments were evaluated 1 wk, 3, 6 mo, and 1 y after surgery. Following the 1-year postoperative visit, patients were monitored yearly. Relationships between preoperative factors including hyperopia and postoperative outcomes were evaluated. RESULTS: Forty-six patients were included, with 33 patients in group I and 13 patients in group II. The preoperative mean refractive error was +0.88 D in group I and +3.45 D in group II. Surgical outcomes were not significantly different between groups at any postoperative time point examined. Cumulative probability of surgical success, prevalence of inferior oblique overaction, dissociated vertical deviation, and re-operation rate were not significantly different between groups.CONCLUSION: Preoperative moderate hyperopia(less than +5.0 D) did not affect the surgical outcome of infantile esotropia. Therefore, the surgical correction of esotropia should be considered when the angle of esodeviation is unchanged following hyperopia correction, even in children with moderate hyperopia.展开更多

Methods 54 eyes of 35 patients with hyperopia ranging from+1.00 to + 6. 00 diopter(D) received a one-pass, multizone scanning excimer laser ablations using the Chiron Technolas Keracor 11 7C excimer laser and System ALK automated corneal shaper H-230.Data on uncorrected and hot corrected visual acuity, predictability, stability of refraction, and complications were analyzed. The average follow-up was 12 months. Results At 12 months, the average residual refraction was(+ 0. 29 ±0. 78)D. 45 eyes (83.3% ) were in the range of ±1. OD and 33 eyes(61. 1% ) were within the range of ± 0. 5D. 50 eyes (92. 6% ) had uncorrected visual acuity of 20/40 or better and 34 eyes (63. 0% ) had 20/20 or better. 1 eyes (1. 9% ) lost 2 line of the best-corrected visual acuity and 2 eyes (3. 7% ) gained 2 lines or more. 2 eyes (3. 7%) had complaint of halos and 1 eyes (1. 9% ) had glare at 12 months. Conclusion LASIK can he used to treat hyperopia from + 1. 0D to + 6. 0D with good predictability and city. Primary and second hyperopia should he treated with different nomogram. some modification of the surgical algorithms and laser nomogram will help to improve predictability and stability of outcome.展开更多

The issue of myopia among children and adolescents has attracted widespread attention from all sectors of society. Comprehensive myopia prevention and control efforts have been launched nationwide. Popular science education, vision screening, and improving visual environments are effective measures for preventing myopia. However, among the target audience for comprehensive myopia prevention and control, the preschool children group has been neglected, and the work of myopia prevention and control for this group has been significantly weakened and marginalized. Due to insufficient awareness of prevention and control, the hyperopia reserve in the preschool children group is being continuously depleted, leading to the early onset of myopia. In light of this situation, the focus of myopia prevention and control needs to shift forward, and it is worth exploring and pondering how college students with a background in optometry can develop entertaining and engaging popular science education materials and methods.展开更多
