Objective To investigate the influence of undercorrected orthokeratology on myopia control, and the correlation between target and central corneal epithelial damage. Methods A retrospective study was conducted on 22 undercorrected orthokeratology lens wearers (37 eyes) from January 2016 to February 2017, and 25 full corrected wearers (47 eyes) during the concurrent period were randomly selected as the control group. The changes of axial length before and after orthokeratology lens wearing and the within-6-month central corneal epithelial damage after orthokeratology lens wearing were analyzed. Results The average annual increase of axial length was (0.13±0.15) mm in the undercorrected group, and (0.14±0.16) mm in the full corrected group, the difference was not statistically significant (P>0.05). Multiple linear regression analysis showed that there was no correlation between the axial growth and the undercorrection of the target (P>0.05), but a negative correlation between the axial growth and the age (P<0.01). After using orthokeratology, the average annual growth of the axial length in children aged 7-10 years was (0.25±0.16) mm, and (0.10±0.14) mm in children aged 11-15 years, the difference was statistically significant (P<0.01). The incidence of central corneal epithelial punctate staining in the (–4.25)-(–5.00) D target group was 27.08%, and that in the (–3.00)-(–4.00) D target group was 16.67%, the difference was not statistically significant (P>0.05). Conclusions The effect of orthokeratology on myopia growth is not affected by the undercorrected target, not related to the undercorrection of target, but negatively correlated with the age. Undercorrected orthokeratology can still be used for myopia control in high myopia patients. No correlation is found between the target and central corneal staining.
Optometry involves knowledge from multiple fields such as biology, physics, chemistry, psychophysics, and medicine. Traditional undergraduate education in optometry mainly focuses on knowledge transmission and lacks interaction, resulting in low student interest and unsatisfactory teaching outcomes. In order to improve this situation, the teaching team of Department of Optometry and Visual Science, West China School of Medicine, Sichuan University proposed a method of integrating real visual experiences into teaching. By combining multimedia tools and existing methods, real visual phenomena and personal visual experiences are integrated into the curriculum. This new teaching method stimulates students’ interest in learning, increases classroom interaction, promotes knowledge understanding and application through vivid visual phenomena and students’ own visual experiences. This article will introduce the above teaching method.
ObjectiveTo investigate whether the corneal shape recovered after discontinuation of long-term orthokeratology and whether orthokeratology increased the corneal astigmatism and ocular astigmatism.MethodsFrom December 2016 to April 2018, a retrospective study was conducted on 33 myopic patients who had undergone two times standard orthokeratology in the outpatient department of West China Hospital of Sichuan University, and had stopped wearing the first orthokeratology lens for one month before fitting the second orthokeratology lens. A total of 32 myopia frame glasses wearers were selected by simple random sampling as control. The changes of corneal flat meridian curvature (flat K), corneal steep meridian curvature (steep K), corneal astigmatism and ocular astigmatism before and after discontinuation of orthokeratology were analyzed.ResultsAmong the patients with baseline myopia diopter of −0.25～−2.75 D, the average annual change of corneal flat K was (−0.03±0.21) D in the frame glasses group and (−0.24±0.14) D in the orthokeratology group, the difference was statistically significant (t=5.555, P<0.001). Among the patients with baseline myopia diopter of −0.25～−2.75 D, the average annual change of corneal steep K was (0.20±0.42) D in the frame glasses group and (0.15±0.20) D in the orthokeratology group, the difference was not statistically significant (t=0.785, P=0.435). Among the patients with baseline myopia diopter of −3.00～−5.75 D, the average annual change of corneal steep K was (0.29±0.39) D in the frame glasses group and (−0.01±0.20) D in the orthokeratology group, the difference was statistically significant (t=2.758, P=0.014). The average changes of corneal astigmatism were analyzed according to the difference of eyes, gender, age and baseline corneal astigmatism, the difference was not statistically significant (P>0.05), respectively. For patients with baseline astigmatism absolute value less than or equal to 0.50 D, the astigmatism annual change of the frame glasses group was 0.00 (0.50) D, and that of orthokeratology group was −0.33 (0.48) D, the difference was statistically significant (Z=−2.301, P=0.021).ConclusionsThe flat K of the cornea becomes flatter and the steep K does not change after one month’s discontinuation of long-term orthokeratology. There was no difference in the increase of corneal astigmatism compared with those wearing frame glasses. When the baseline ocular astigmatism is less than or equal to 0.50 D, the increase of astigmatism may occur after discontinuation of orthokeratology.
Early onset and high incidence of myopia has caused great concern of the Party and the Government. On August 30th 2018, eight ministries and commissions, such as the Ministry of Education, jointly issued the Comprehensive Prevention and Control Implementation Scheme of Child and Adolescent Myopia, which put forward the actions and specific measures to various aspects, and particularly mentioned that the medical and health institutions should work together with families, schools, etc, to reduce the incidence of myopia. Medical institutions should do a good job in the following items: setting up visual archives for adolescents, so as to prevent and control myopia with pertinence and individualization; standardizing the process of diagnosis and treatment, doing a good job in refractive examination and correction of adolescents, and resolutely combating the commercial "treatment and correction" of myopia; strengthening myopia-related health education, and eliminating erroneous understanding to myopia prevention and control. Optometrists should play an important role in the prevention and control of myopia, speed up the cultivation of optometry talents, and call on the state to establish a professional title system and professional access standards for optometry talents as soon as possible.

Methods The clinical data of 62 patients (85 eyes) with amblyopia who underwent the comprehensive therapy between January 2008 and October 2010 were retrospectively analyzed. The best-corrected visual acuity was 0.1-0.7 (mean 0.46±0.17) before the treatment. The visual acuity, spatial contrast sensitivity and stereoacuity of the patients after the treatment were observed. Results After the comprehensive therapy, the visual acuity was normal in 22 patients (31 eyes, 36.5%), improved in 29 patients (39 eyes, 45.9%), invalid in 11 patients (15 eyes, 17.6%). The total effective rate was 82.4% which was differed significantly from that before the treatment (Plt;0.001). The spatial contrast sensitivity was almost normal in 11 patients (16 eyes, 18.8%), improved in 43 patients (58 eyes, 68.2%), and invalid in 8 patients (11 eyes, 12.9%). The examination of spatial contrast sensitivity showed that the improvement was only statistically significant when frequency equates 1.5, 3, or 6 (Plt;0.001) compared with those before the treatment; while no statistically significant improvement was observed in higher frequencies of 12, 18 (Pgt;0.05). The stereoacuity was normal in 12 patients (19.4%), improved in 26 (41.9%), and invalid in 24 (38.7%); the difference in stereoacuity before and after the treatment was significant (Plt;0.001). Conclusion The therapeutic effect of comprehensive therapy is good: the visual acuity of the patients improves obviously, and the low to middle spatial contrast sensitivity and stereoacuity improve apparently.

ObjectiveTo evaluate the differences of visual evoked potentials (amplitudes and latency) between cerebral palsy (CP) children and normal children. MethodsThis study involved fourteen children aged from 4 to 7 years with CP (monoplegia) between 2009 and 2013. Another 14 normal children aged from 5 to 9 years treated in the Department of Ophthalmology in West China Hospital during the same period were regarded as the control group. Both eyes of all the participants were examined by multifocal visual evoked potential (mfVEP). The mfVEP examination results were recorded, and amplitude and latency were analyzed. First, we analyzed the differences of amplitudes and latency time between monoplegia children and children in the control group. Second, gross motor function classification system (GMFCS) was used to classify the fourteen monoplegia children among whom there were five GMFCS Ⅰ patients and nine GMFCS Ⅱ patients. The differences of mfVEP were analyzed between the two GMFCS groups. ResultsThe amplitude and latency of mfVEP in children with CP showed gradual changes similar to those in the normal children. The amplitudes were decreasing and the latencies were delaying from the first eccentricity to the sixth eccentricity. The amplitudes in children with CP were lower than those in the control group in the first to the third eccentricities for both eyes (P＜0.05), and latency of left eye was delayed in the first eccentricity in children with CP (P=0.045). No difference was found between the two GMFCS groups (P>0.05) except the amplitude of the first eccentricity (P=0.043). ConclusionsThe results of mfVEP show significant differences of amplitude and latency between CP and normal children, suggesting the existence of visual pathway impairments in cerebral palsy children. The results of mfVEP can provide an objective basis of visual impairments for cerebral palsy children.
ObjectiveTo study whether the pattern visual evoked potential (P-VEP) under different spatial frequency in patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) is different from normal people. MethodsP-VEP examination under high (15') and low (60') spatial frequency was performed on 18 MS patients (36 eyes) treated in our department from September 2011 to April 2012 and 20 normal volunteers (40 eyes). Then, we analyzed the difference between the two groups under the above-mentioned two kinds of spatial frequency. ResultsThe latency of P100 of P-VEP under high spatial frequency in MS patients was (120.50±13.04) ms which was significantly different from (109.21±5.38) ms of normal volunteers (P < 0.05). The latency of P100 of P-VEP under low spatial frequency in MS patients was (109.57±12.87) ms, which was also significantly different from (103.31±5.45) ms of normal volunteers (P < 0.05). The amplitude of P100 of P-VEP under high spatial frequency in MS patients was (9.17±5.69)μV and it was significantly lower than that[(15.69±8.45)μv] of normal volunteers (P < 0.05). The amplitude of P100 of P-VEP under low spatial frequency in MS patients was (11.93±16.75)μV and it was not significantly different from normal volunteers[(13.47±9.24μV)]. Based on different corrected vision, the MS patients were divided into two groups (vision≥1.0 and vision < 1.0). For patients with vision≥1.0, the latency of P100 and the amplitude of P100 of P-VEP under high spatial frequency was (113.43±8.28) ms and (12.94±5.46)μV; the latency of P100 and the amplitude of P100 of P-VEP under low spatial frequency was (111.13±11.50) ms and (11.57±5.60)μV. For patients with vision < 1.0, the latency of P100 and the amplitude of P100 of P-VEP under high spatial frequency was (126.69±13.49) ms and (5.87±3.43)μV; the latency of P100 and the amplitude of P100 of P-VEP under low spatial frequency was (108.26±14.11) ms and (12.24±5.82)μV. There was no significant difference in the latency and amplitude of P100 under low spatial frequency between the two groups with different corrected vision (P > 0.05), but the latency and amplitude of P100 under high spatial frequency were both significantly different between those two groups (P < 0.05). ConclusionsCompared with normal people, MS patients feature latency delay and amplitude reduction of the P-VEP, which was more severe under high spatial frequency. P-VEP under high spatial frequency may become an important evidence to evaluate visual function of MS patients.
