Abstract: Objective To compare the features of corneal flaps created by using an optical coherence tomography(OCT)-guided femtosecond laser and those created by three other femtosecond lasers. Methods Four types of femtosecond laser laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis procedures were performed on 107 patients(200 eyes)with myopia and myopic astigmatism. Patients were divided into four groups of 50: group A, FEMTO LDV Z8 femtosecond laser; group B, Ziemer Crystalline femtosecond laser; group C, Wavelight FS200 femtosecond laser; and group D, Zeiss VisuMax femtosecond laser. Corneal flap thickness was measured and analyzed by RTVue OCT. Results At 1 week postoperatively, the corneal flap thickness in group A was close to the expected value and the variation range was small. The corneal flap thickness in group B was close to the expected value, but the variation range was large. The corneal flap thickness in group C was thin, that of group D was close to the expected value, and the variation ranges of both groups were small. The corneal flaps created by the four femtosecond lasers were regular and uniform in shape, and there was no statistically significant difference between central and peripheral thicknesses(P>0.05). The differences between the corneal flap thickness value and the predicted value of 110 μm among the four groups were obviously different. The results of groups A(3.43±2.81)μm and D(3.13±2.89)μm were obviously better than those of groups B(6.88±4.13)μm and C(5.44±3.62)μm(F=2.397; P=0.018). Conclusion Compared with the Ziemer Crystalline and Wavelight FS200 femtosecond lasers, the OCT-guided femtosecond laser and the Zeiss VisuMax femtosecond laser featured higher accuracy and better predictability.

[8] Ocular ischemic syndrome(OIS)is usually undiagnosed or misdiagnosed due to its asymptomatic onset, complicated ocular manifestations, and the lack of awareness, and patients with OIS have a higher mortality. Improving the understanding, diagnosis, and treatment of OIS through multidisciplinary collaboration is key to investigating and preventing systemic vascular events as well as decreasing blindness and mortality. This review summarizes the recent advances in the epidemiology, clinical diagnosis, and management of OIS..

[9] Spectral-domain optical coherence tomography(SD-OCT)was used to measure and observe the characteristics of the subfoveal choroidal thickness(SFCT)in patients with ocular ischemic syndrome(OIS)as well as explore the indicators for early evaluation of OIS. MethodsThis was a retrospective case-control study. Forty-eight patients(48 eyes)were included between January 2017 and January 2020. The patients were divided into two groups: the OIS and the control groups, with each consisting of 24 patients(24 eyes). Their basic information, including age, gender, body mass index(BMI), and the history of diabetes, hypertension, and hyperlipidemia, was collected. SFCT was measured using SD-OCT in EDI mode. The basic data and SFCTs of the two groups were compared. ResultsThere were no significant differences between the ages, gender, BMIs, and the prevalence of diabetes, hypertension, and hyperlipidemia of the two groups(all P>0.05). The mean SFCT of the OIS group was 204.83±27.34 μm, and that of the control group was 226.58±33.49 μm. The differences between the two groups were statistically significant(t=2.464, P=0.018). ConclusionsSFCT was thinner in patients with OIS. SFCT can be used as an indicator for early assessment of OIS..

[10] ObjectiveTo analyze the association between the classification of blood pressure and retinal vessel diameter measured by spectral-domain optical coherence tomography(SD-OCT). MethodsThis was a cross-sectional study that included 103 patients(103 eyes)with hypertension. Based on the classification of hypertension, the subjects were divided into three groups: the isolated systolic hypertension(ISH)(34 eyes), isolated diastolic hypertension(IDH)(34 eyes), and systolic combined with diastolic hypertension(SDH)(35 eyes)groups. Retinal vessel diameters were measured by SD-OCT. The differences among the central retinal arteriolar equivalents(CRAEs), the central retinal venular equivalents(CRVEs), and the artery-to-vein ratios(AVRs)of the three groups were analyzed. Multivariate logistic regression was performed to evaluate the association between blood pressure and AVR. ResultsThere were significant differences among the CRAEs and AVRs of the three groups(F=4.543, 4.308; P=0.013, 0.016). The CRAE and AVR of the SDH group were the lowest; those of the IDH group were the highest. There were no significant differences among the CRVEs of the three groups(F=0.417, P=0.660). After correction for risk factors, such as gender and age, multivariate logistic regression showed that patients with high systolic blood pressure were more likely to have AVRs of < 0.7 (OR=1.080, P=0.015). ConclusionsAmong the three types of hypertension, SDH was associated with the lowest CRAE and AVR. High systolic pressure is a risk factor for AVRs of < 0.7..
