Outcomes of laser peripheral iridotomy in subgroups of primary angle closure disease eyes according to swept-source optical coherence tomography parameters.

Aims: This study aimed to examine the impact of laser peripheral iridotomy (LPI) on subgroups of primary angle closure eyes based on swept-source optical coherence tomography (SS-OCT).

Methods: SS-OCT was used to image 115 eyes with primary angle-closure disease (PACD) at prior to LPI, 1 week, 4 weeks and 12 weeks after LPI. A hierarchical cluster analysis was conducted to classify PACD eyes into subgroups based on pre-LPI SS-OCT parameters.

Features and changes in retinal nerve fiber layer thickness in high myopic ocular hypertension: a 1-year prospective follow-up.

Purpose: To observe the features and changes in peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer (pRNFL) thickness in highly myopic ocular hypertension (HM-OHT) patients.

Study Design: Prospective observation study.

Methods: Individuals who met the inclusion criteria were recruited into three groups: the healthy high myopia (HM), non-highly myopic ocular hypertension (OHT) and HM-OHT group.

Effect of corneal refractive surgery on accommodative and binocular dysfunctions among civilian pilots in Southwest China.

Background: To analyze whether corneal refractive surgery (CRS) is associated with the distribution of different accommodative dysfunctions (ADs) and binocular dysfunctions (BDs) in civilian pilots. A further aim was to analyze the percentages and visual symptoms associated with ADs and/or BDs in this population.

Methods: One hundred and eight civilian pilots who underwent CRS from January 2001 to July 2012 (age: 30.

[Design of a mini-infrared moxibustion instrument based on carbon fiber].

A mini-infrared moxibustion instrument was developed on the base of carbon fiber heating film. This new type moxibustion instrument integrated the moxibusiton technique of TCM with modern technology. It is composed of a power module, an infrared generator module, a temperature sensor, a display screen and a main control panel.
