The prevalence of keratoconus is 1/2000 in the general population and is high in adolescents. Keratoconus is a progressive disease, which has a great impact on patients’ quality of life and mental health. It can be managed by surgical and non-surgical means, rigid gas permeable (RGP) contact lens as its main non-surgical method is widely used in clinic. The efficacy of wearing RGP contact lens has been confirmed to some extent, but some studies have found that wearing RGP contact lens has adverse effects, which may promote disease progression. In this paper, the advantages and disadvantages of RGP contact lens in controlling keratoconus were reviewed to provide more suggestions and references for the clinical application of RGP contact lens. 相似文献
ABSTRACTPurpose: To report two unique cases of spontaneous uveal effusion syndrome (UES) from the same family.Methods: The patients included father (54 years old) and a daughter (23 years old). The father presented 7 years ago with bilateral exudative retinal detachment, nanophthalmic eyes (axial length 16.11 mm and 16.43 mm in right and left eyes, respectively) with hypermetropia, and a thickened sclera on MRI. The daughter presented with left eye peripheral exudative annular retinal detachment with bilateral nanophthalmos (axial length 20.7 mm and 20.33 mm, in right and left eyes, respectively), with MRI showing ciliochoroidal detachment, suprachoroidal effusion and mild thickening of the sclera in left eye.Results: The father underwent subscleral sclerectomy in the left eye that led to resolution of submacular fluid. Scleral biopsy confirmed the deposition of glycosaminoglycans on Alcian blue stain. The daughter was kept under observation, because of absence of any macular subretinal fluid, and counselled about the familial nature of the disease and possible need for future intervention.Conclusion: This is the first report of familial nanophthalmos presenting with spontaneous UES. 相似文献
Purpose: To survey the opinion of oculoplastic surgeons on the assessment and management of lower eyelid retraction (LLR).
Methods: A web-based survey queried oculoplastic surgeon members of Ojoplast, Spanish and Brazilian Oculoplastic Societies on the management of LLR. The frequency and percentage proportions of the responses were analyzed.
Results: One hundred ninety-six oculoplastic surgeons participated in the survey. The main cause of LLR is post-blepharoplasty (62;31.6%). The most used sign to detect LLR is scleral show. The most common approaches to managing LLR are lateral canthal surgery (164/593;27.6%), autogenous spacers (148/593; 24.9%) and retractor release (131/593;22.1%). The preferred autogenous graft material includes ear cartilage (102/260;39.2%). The majority of surgeons (161/314; 51.3%) recommend massage or steroids injection (80/314;25.5%) for early post-blepharoplasty LLR, while, 54.1% (106/196) of participants suggested waiting for at least six months prior to surgical intervention. Frost suture is used after most LLR surgeries (154/196;91.1%). Incomplete correction is the main complication (111/310;35.8%) of LLR surgery. For mild LLR, 48% of the responders prefer clinical treatment; conversely, severe cases routinely require combined surgical techniques.
Conclusions: Oculoplastic surgeons frequently diagnose LLR based on scleral show. LLR management depends on the cause and severity of lid retraction. Mild cases, in general, receive clinical treatment and severe cases need a combination of surgical techniques and grafts. 相似文献
