Advanced Surface Ablation (ASA) vs Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis (LASIK)
NearsightednessFarsightedness1 moreThe purpose of this combined retrospective and prospective chart review analysis is to investigate the safety, efficacy, and predictability obtained via Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis (LASIK) and Advanced Surface Ablation (ASA) over a wide range of refractive errors The working hypothesis is that there will be no difference in clinical outcomes between patients treated with LASIK or ASA.
Study on the Effect of Mitomycin C 0.02% on the Corneal Endothelial After Photorefractive Keratectomy...
MyopiaIn this study 126 eyes in 63 patients with moderate bilateral myopia and astigmatism between -3 and -5 (SE difference between two eyes should not be more than 0.75 and the residual corneal thickness>350 μ ) were entered in the study. One eye went randomly under PRK with mitomycin C 0.02% in 15 min and then the other eye went under the operation without MMC. UCVA,BCVA, refractory error after the operation and the number of endothelial cells before and after the surgery would be compared in 6 months.
Real Life Study in Myopic Neovascularization
Myopic Choroidal NeovascularisationThis is a multi centre, single arm, prospective observational phase 4 study in naive or pretreated patients with myopic neovascularization. The patients will be treated with intravitreal injections of Aflibercept following a real life protocol. This sudy aims to evaluate the visual acuity during a 36 months period of time.
The Collaborative Longitudinal Evaluation of Ethnicity and Refractive Error (CLEERE) Study
MyopiaTo compare and contrast normal eye growth, ocular component development, and refractive error development in Hispanic, African-American, and Asian schoolchildren with what happens in Caucasian children from the Orinda Longitudinal Study of Myopia. To investigate risk factors for the development of myopia. To conduct DNA-based studies on nearsighted children and their families.
Macular Hemorrhage in Myopic Eyes
Macula Lutea HemorrhageHigh MyopiaVisual impairment in high myopic eyes is mainly due to the different types of myopic maculopathies, such as diffuse or patchy atrophy, lacquer cracks and choroidal neovascularization. Macular hemorrhage was one of those complications. Despite choroidal neovascularization, simple hemorrhage from rupture of Bruch's membrane and choroidal microcirculation is also the cause of hemorrhage. The prognosis of those eyes with simple hemorrhage is generally good. However, some patients had persistently poor vision after the absorption of the hemorrhage. In the literature, the visual prognosis in those patients was reported to be associated with the microstructure change under the optical coherent tomography (OCT) or the presentation of the autofluorescence. The investigators will collect the patients with high myopia and presenting with macular hemorrhage. High resolution OCT and autofluorescence imaging will be used to analyze the change of the microstructure of retina and its correlation with the visual prognosis.
Does Pupil Size Matters in Refractive Surgery?
MyopiaTo determine the influence of pupil size in refractive surgery. If any influence exist.
Development and Pathological Changes of High Myopia Among Children and Adolescents in China
High MyopiaThe study aims to observe the relationship between the changes of ocular structure parameters and pathological changes among children and adolescents with high myopia. Environmental factors and family history will also be collected to explore their impacts on high myopia progression.
Evaluation of Visual Acuity in Myopic Cataract Patients Using Trifocal Intraocular Lens
CataractMyopia1 moreThe PanOptix trifocal IOL is a new trifocal intraocular lens which is proved to provide good range of vision for distance, intermediate and near and good visual quality in cataract patients with normal axial length. But whether it can get the same visual quality in myopia is still unknown
Genomewide Screening of Pathological Myopia
Pathological MyopiaThe purpose of this study is to evaluate the possible candidate gene of pathological myopia
Zhaoqing Myopia Study
MyopiaMyopia is a common cause of vision loss, being particularly prevalent in children in East and Southeast Asia. The investigators will assess prevalence and incidence of myopia, identify digital biomarkers associated with myopia, and validate algorithms for the detection and/or predition of myopia and other ocular abnormalities in school-aged children in both urban and rural settings in Southern China.
