  • The evaluation of assistant effect of intraoperative optical coherence tomography in vitreous retinal surgery for macular disease

    ObjectiveTo evaluate the assistant effect of intraoperative OCT (iOCT) in vitreous retinal surgery for macular disease.MethodsA retrospective case study. A total of 71 patients (71 eyes) with macular disease who underwent vitrectomy in Eye Hospital of Wenzhou Medical University at Hangzhou from June 2015 to September 2016 were collected. There were 24 males (24 eyes) and 47 females (47 eyes), aged from 25 to 78 years, with the mean age of 63.35±10.01 years. Among 71 eyes, there were 26 eyes with idiopathic macular hole, 42 eyes with idiopathic epiretinal membrane, 3 eyes with vitreomacular traction syndrome. The examination of iOCT was performed on the patients during 23G minimally invasive vitreoretinal surgery combined with internal limiting membrane peeling. Use observational method to compare the difference between result of iOCT and observation under the microscope, record the change of treatment strategy.ResultsEight eyes (11.27%) iOCT results were different from the surgeon’s observation, which including 5 eyes (62.50%) with idiopathic macular hole, 2 eyes (25.00%) with idiopathic epiretinal membrane, 1 eye (12.50%) with vitreomacular traction syndrome. The treatment strategy was changed in 8 eyes (11.27%) based on iOCT result, which including 5 eyes (62.50%) with idiopathic macular hole, 2 eyes (25.00%) with idiopathic epiretinal membrane, 1 eye (12.50%) with vitreomacular traction syndrome.ConclusionsiOCT can help the surgeon find some subtle morphological changes which can hardly be seen by eyes. The surgeon can change and optimize the treatment strategy based on the result of iOCT.

  • Research status and progress of dissociated optic nerve fiber layer after internal limiting membrane peeling

    Dissociated optic nerve fiber layer (DONFL) appearance is consists of numerous arcuate dark striae within the posterior pole in the direction of the optic nerve fibers. And on the cross-sectional image, DONFL was correspond to inner retinal dimples. It mainly occurs after the internal limiting membrane (ILM) peeling due to the direct damage on the local retina and the broad tractional effect on the posterior retina during membrane peeling. DONFL appearance is considered to be a spontaneous and delayed morphologic change with a subclinical nature, and appears to have little effect on retinal function. In addition to avoiding the removal of ILM and reducing the area of ILM peeling, a novel technique for reposition of the fixed ILM flap with the assistance of perfluoro-n-octane and the temporal inverted ILM flap technique can also be used to prevent and reduce the occurrence of DONFL appearance. Further studies on its development, clinical features and clinical significance are still required.

  • Advances in the study of residual fragments in macular hole surgery

    Idiopathic macular hole after the internal limiting membrane (ILM) is removed during surgery, the intraoperative optical coherence tomography can be used to observe the presence of debris tissue (RF) protruding into the vitreous cavity at the edge of the hole. Current studies suggest that RF may be caused by epiretinal proliferation and vitreomacular traction, but it is still controversial, and the influence of postoperative anatomical and functional recovery is not clear. Common points can still be found, some of the studies suggest that RF is not conducive to postoperative anatomical and functional recovery during the operation, ILM fragments remain on RF tissues after ILM peeling and re-staining. However, in some studies suggest that RF is beneficial to postoperative anatomical and functional recovery, and ILM fragments on RF are removed. This suggests that whether ILM is removed on RF lead to a certain influence on the postoperative efficacy. There are few researches on RF at present, so it is necessary to understand RF from its essence and assist judgment through histological analysis.

  • Progress on the morphology of paravascular vitreoretinal interface abnormality in high myopia

    High myopia (HM) is one of the main causes of vision loss. In recent years, optical coherence tomography and other techniques have shown a variety of vitreoretinal interface abnormalities (VRIA) in highly myopic eyes. Posterior vitreous detachment and paravascular abnormality are the relatively common manifestations of VRIA. Posterior vitreous detachment is classified in several different ways in HM eyes, the onset age of which is earlier in HM. Paravascular abnormality mainly includes paravascular microfold, paravascular cyst, paravascular lamellar hole, and paravascular retinoschisis. The former two are early-stage lesions, the latter two are advanced lesions. VRIA is closely related to many HM's fundus complications, such as myopic retinoschisis, macular hole, retinal detachment and so on. VRIA may develop into myopic retinoschisis, which in turn develop into full-thickness macular hole, and even retinal detachment. Therefore, the examination and judgment of VRIA in HM patients are of great significance for the early prevention and treatment of clinical retina diseases.

  • The oxygen saturation and vascular morphology of branch retinal vein occlusion by a dual-model fundus camera based on deep learning

    ObjectiveTo study a deep learning-based dual-modality fundus camera which was used to study retinal blood oxygen saturation and vascular morphology changes in eyes with branch retinal vein occlusion (BRVO). MethodsA prospective study. From May to October 2020, 31 patients (31 eyes) of BRVO (BRVO group) and 20 healthy volunteers (20 eyes) with matched gender and age (control group) were included in the study. Among 31 patients (31 eyes) in BRVO group, 20 patients (20 eyes) received one intravitreal injection of anti-vascular endothelial growth factor drugs before, and 11 patients (11 eyes) did not receive any treatment. They were divided into treatment group and untreated group accordingly. Retinal images were collected with a dual-modality fundus camera; arterial and vein segments were segmented in the macular region of interest (MROI) using deep learning; the optical density ratio was used to calculate retinal blood oxygen saturation (SO2) on the affected and non-involved sides of the eyes in the control group and patients in the BRVO group, and calculated the diameter, curvature, fractal dimension and density of arteriovenous in MROI. Quantitative data were compared between groups using one-way analysis of variance. ResultsThere was a statistically significant difference in arterial SO2 (SO2-A) in the MROI between the affected eyes, the fellow eyes in the BRVO group and the control group (F=4.925, P<0.001), but there was no difference in the venous SO2 (SO2-V) (F=0.607, P=0.178). Compared with the control group, the SO2-A in the MROI of the affected side and the non-involved side of the untreated group was increased, and the difference was statistically significant (F=4.925, P=0.012); there was no significant difference in SO2-V (F=0.607, P=0.550). There was no significant difference in SO2-A and SO2-V in the MROI between the affected side, the non-involved side in the treatment group and the control group (F=0.159, 1.701; P=0.854, 0.197). There was no significant difference in SO2-A and SO2-V in MROI between the affected side of the treatment group, the untreated group and the control group (F=2.553, 0.265; P=0.088, 0.546). The ophthalmic artery diameter, arterial curvature, arterial fractal dimension, vein fractal dimension, arterial density, and vein density were compared in the untreated group, the treatment group, and the control group, and the differences were statistically significant (F=3.527, 3.322, 7.251, 26.128, 4.782, 5.612; P=0.047, 0.044, 0.002, <0.001, 0.013, 0.006); there was no significant difference in vein diameter and vein curvature (F=2.132, 1.199; P=0.143, 0.321). ConclusionArterial SO2 in BRVO patients is higher than that in healthy eyes, it decreases after anti-anti-vascular endothelial growth factor drugs treatment, SO2-V is unchanged.

  • Clinical observation of microcystic macular edema before and after surgery for idiopathic epiretinal membrane

    ObjectiveTo observe the incidence and risk factors of microcystic macular edema (MME) in patients with idiopathic macular epiretinal membrane (IMEM) preoperatively and postoperatively. MethodsA retrospective case series study. From January 2017 to May 2021, 72 eyes of 72 patients with IMEM in Eye Hospital of Wenzhou Medical University at Hangzhou were included. There were 18 male and 54 female. Average age was 64.8±7.8 years. Eyes were all monocular. All patients received the examination of best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) by standard logarithmic visual acuity chart, which was represented logarithmic of minimum angle of resolution (logMAR). Optical coherence tomography was used to measure central macular thickness (CMT). MME was defined as small, vertically bounded cystic space located outside the fovea in the inner layer of the retina. According to the presence or absence of MME before surgery, the affected eyes were divided into two groups: non-MME group (35 eyes) and MME group (37 eyes). The difference of logMAR BCVA and CMT was statistically significant between Group A and B (t=3.117, 2.589; P=0.003, 0.012). All patients with IMEM were treated with 23G three-channels pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) with epiretinal membrane and inner limiting membrane (ILM) peeling. The two groups were further divided into four groups according to whether there was MME in the postoperative follow-up time. The group A1 was without MME before and after surgery, group A2 was without MME before surgery and with MME after surgery. The MME group was subdivided into the group with MME before surgery and without MME after surgery (group B1) and the group with MME before and after surgery (group B2). The mean follow-up time was 8.8±7.7 months. The same equipment and methods were used to exam the patients during the follow-up. Paired t test was used to compare the changes of MME, BCVA and CMT before and after surgery. The differences of CMT and BCVA among groups before and after surgery were compared by independent sample t test and one-way ANOVA. Logistic regression was used to analyze the influencing factors of MME before and after surgery, and multiple linear regression was used to analyze the influencing factors of postoperative BCVA. ResultsThere were 35 eyes in the non-MME group, 18 eyes (51.43%, 18/35) in the A1 group and 17 eyes (48.57%, 17/35) in the A2 group, respectively. There were 37 eyes in MME group, 6 eyes (16.22%, 6/37) in group B1 and 31 eyes (83.78%, 31/37) in group B2, respectively. At last follow-up, the logMAR BCVA was 0.10±0.12, 0.25±0.17, 0.09±0.11, 0.30±0.26 in group A1, A2, B1, and B2, respectively. Compared with the logMAR BCVA before surgery, the differences were statistically significant (t=3.779, 4.253, 7.869, 6.668; P<0.01). There was significant difference in logMAR BCVA among the four groups (F=4.460, P<0.01). There was a significant difference in logMAR BCVA between group A1 and group A2 (t=-2.930, P=0.006). There was no significant difference between group B1 and group B2 (t=-1.921, P=0.063). The CMT of group A1, A2, B1 and B2 were 371.83±73.24, 431.24±83.13, 407.00±28.07 and 425.19±70.97 μm, respectively. Compared with those before operation, the differences were statistically significant (t=5.197, 2.465, 3.055, 6.078; P<0.05). There was no significant difference in CMT among the four groups (F=2.597, P=0.059). Logistic regression analysis showed that pre-operation MME was correlated with pre-operation IMEM stage (β=1.494, P=0.004). New MME after surgery was correlated with age (β=0.153, P=0.013). Multiple linear regression analysis showed that postoperative visual acuity was significantly correlated with CMT before surgery and MME after surgery (β=0.001, 0.134; P=0.015, 0.019). ConclusionsPPV combined with epiretinal membrane and ILM peeling surgery for IMEM can improve visual acuity and decrease CMT. MME regress or regenerate after surgery. Age is an independent predictor of the risk of newly formed MME after surgery.
